Coconut Flour Donuts – with low-carb option
I remember when I was probably 6 years old we were building our new house and living with our grandparents while we were doing so. Every once in a while for a special treat Grandma would get though little mini vanilla doughnuts for us to enjoy with breakfast; they were so delicious! These vanilla doughnuts…
Chocolate Coconut Oil Fat Bombs
Once upon a time, I bought a gummy bear mold with intentions to make homemade gummy bears. But when the mold came I realized I had no gelatin. But I’d already spent a whopping $10.89 of my hard-earned cash, so I had to do something with this mold while I waited for my Vital Proteins…

The Best Chewy Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
I didn’t always love coconut flour. The first recipe I ever made with coconut flour was a pancake recipe; it called for an entire cup of coconut flour and yielded absolutely the worst pancakes I have ever eaten. After that traumatic experience I took a break from coconut flour in my paleo eating. I’ve since…

Paleo Berry Pop Tarts
I have eaten exactly 5 pop tarts in my life. The reason I know that is when I was 11 years old, my friend and I loved horses and wanted to attend a week-long horseback riding day camp at a local ranch. The problem was that the day camp cost about $300 per person, and…
Paleo Sweet Potato Brownies
Well, today is my 19th birthday; it’s been exactly 1 year since I became an adult. I feel kind of old, but my parents just laugh at me when I say that 😛 😉 It’s hard to believe that I started this blog fully 3 years ago; I remember I worked food service and blogged…

Low Carb Pumpkin Bars
I am of the opinion that pumpkin should not just be relegated to fall and Thanksgiving! It’s so much fun to incorporate this delicious squash into my food all months of the year. Pumpkin is also a high-nutrition, low-cal addition to baked goods; and canned organic pumpkin in available all year round; why wouldn’t we…

My sweet little sister turns FIFTEEN this Valentine’s day; it’s crazy because I remember when I turned fifteen; I felt so old and mature – lol. And let’s not even talk about the fact that I’m going to be nineteen this month; yes we won’t even mention it. Anyway, my sister is sensitive to gluten,…

Paleo Pretzel Rolls
These rolls are a cross between my two most popular cassava flour recipes: French Bread and Paleo Soft Pretzels, and they capture the best of both worlds. With these amazingly chewy rolls with the crispity-crunchy and salty crust, I can enjoy one of my favorite bread items, soft pretzels, and eat bread with butter! At…
