Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes
We all love lemon poppyseed anything. Like anything. Especially muffins. My little sister Julia will eat three lemon poppyseed muffins in a row if we turn our back. This recipe is dedicated to her because she is also the family pancake lover. This recipe is definitely the best of both worlds! Shared at Fat Tuesday,…
Stovetop Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Simple is most often best. I made these brussels sprouts with supper tonight and I sincerely wish I had make twice as much; that’s how fast they went! We ate them with hamburger soup, but feel free to pair them with any protein. These are so good that I could even see making them for…
How to Make Recipes Dairy Free
Dairy is probably the most debated-about food in the paleo blogosphere. Some say it’s cancer-causing, some say the protein in it is harmful, while others regard raw, grass-fed dairy as a superfood. My personal opinion of dairy is fairly favorable provided it’s raw and grass-fed; however, my dad is quite allergic to casein and so…
Chestnut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies 2 Ways
There is a new family controversy afoot. Yesterday I got a reader request for a chestnut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe. I thought, ‘Wow, why didn’t I think of that!.’ So I did a quick Google search for ideas, then set to work. The resulting cookie was thin, chewy, and fairly nutty. …
How to Cook with Coconut Flour
Coconut flour. Whenever I tell someone something I have made is baked with this ingredient, they always look at me just a little funny, then they go back to eating the delicious confection in front of them. The truth is, coconut flour is well-known in the paleo community, but practically non-existent out of it. …
AIP Apple Crumble
Apple crumble. So easy, but arguably one of the most delicious desserts. Perfect topped with coconut cream and served with hot coffee. I ate this for breakfast this morning. Don’t tell anyone 🙂 This apple crumble is also AIP-friendly, so no eggs, nuts, nightshades, or seeds. But it’s still delicious! Shared at Fat Tuesday Also…
Spiced Paleo Pear Muffins With Crumb Topping
Sometimes an idea for a recipe just jumps into my head. We had these beautiful red pears in our fruit basket, and they were at the peak of ripeness. I thought they would be just fabulous in a spiced muffin. I was right! These fine-textured muffins are full of spices like cinnamon and sweet…
Crispy Fried Plantains
I feel almost guilty posting a recipe as simple as this one, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about cooking in the last year, it’s that simple is almost always best. I make these several times per week, and I have to hide them from my mom when I do because she also loves…

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
My dad loves this soup. I was totally shocked, because he hates squash. Like he will not touch a squash with a ten-foot pole. But he is dipping potato chips in it as I type. Not that I recommend that for health reasons, but still, I have never seen him even consider eating anything orange….

Paleo Lo Mein
This recipe is really quite easy; especially if you buy pre-chopped veggies. The pure flavors of Chinese lo mein are recreated in this recipe without noodles, soy or even sesame oil, which can be damaged by cooking. This lo mein is so delicious, and it was the best breakfast I’ve had in forever. And yes…
Fluffy Chestnut Flour Pancakes
I should be a commercial for chestnut flour. I just love it when I find a new paleo-friendly ingredient! I honestly don’t know why more paleo people don’t cook with chestnut flour. I adore it because it combines the best of three worlds: the nuttiness of other nut…
My Water Kefir Adventures (how to make water kefir)
My family officially thinks I’m weird. Not that they didn’t before, but now that I have mysterious-looking jars surrounded by Christmas lights sitting on the counter 24/7, it’s official. So what is the point of all this jar-hoarding? Well, for Christmas I was given a copy of Fermented by Jill Cicciarelli, which is a book…
My Kombucha Adventures (how to make kombucha)
Well, here it is; my promised post about my kombucha-making endeavors! Kombucha is essentially a fermented tea. The tea is fermented via a culture called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) It’s most likely a vinegar mother, but no one really know where it came from. Kind of exciting, right? Anyway, kombucha has…
