I was a little kid when I first tried caramel, and I’ve been in love ever since. With caramel, that is. I try to eat healthy and avoid candy and all that stuff and blah blah blah… but when caramel is present I’m pretty sure wild horses couldn’t keep me from it. Come to think…
AIP Orange Macaroons
Just when I think I can’t come up with another recipe that uses coconut, I come up with one. It’s basically my superpower. Like this: “It’s a bird!! It’s a plane!! No… IT’S…….. COCONUT RECIPE GIRL!!” Basically my identity without exaggeration. Anyway, you know what goes great with coconut? Everything. Obviously. But also oranges. I…
Chocolate Coconut Protein Bark
The more collagen I buy or get sent, the more amazing uses I keep thinking for it! I’ve done protein bars, protein waffles, and even protein pancakes. But the thing that I’ve never done is this (drumroll please…) protein CANDY! Protein candy? How is that even a thing? Well, when you consider that most protein bars…

Paleo Chocolate Bark with Coconut and Sea Salt
At the beginning of this week, I thought to myself, I’ll post a savory recipe this week. Maybe on Thursday. But there was so much dark chocolate in our cupboard, and coconut flakes, and coconut butter, and all these amazing things that don’t lend themselves well to savory dishes. So what I’m saying is, I am totally…
AIP No Bake Cookies
Do you love cookies but hate heating up the house? It was about 90 degrees here last week and ever time I wanted to cook something I cringed at the though of heating up the house. I did it anyway because I’m a die-hard baking fanatic, but that’s not the point here. The…

Paleo Coconut Flour Waffles (low-carb, nut-free)
I have so many childhood memories of waffles. My mom would make her signature homemade pancake batter and then she would bake it in the waffle iron. The result was beautiful waffles that we smothered in butter and maple syrup. When we went paleo, we were a little overwhelmed, and I think that our…
Mango Coconut Mug Cake (paleo, nut-free, fruit-sweetened)
I just love mug muffins. There’s something amazing about mixing up an egg with some coconut flour and eating a big ol’ muffin a minute later. I’ve made so many mug muffin variations; it’s almost embarrassing. Not quite though, because mug muffins are awesome! Mangoes are in season again and so now…
Coconut Banana Pancakes – guest post on Paleo Crumbs

You guys, Macy is only 16 years old, and her photography is already better than mine, and her blog is amazing! She guest posted for me a few weeks a go with her delicious Green-a-licious…
Pineapple Muffins – a guest post on Hold The Grain
Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits. I don’t know what it is, but I could eat whole pineapple in one sitting, except that my mother and friends love it just as much as I do. I also have an affinity for coconut. I just can’t understand people not liking coconut. To each their…
No-Bake Chocolate-Dipped Paleo Macaroons
Hey everybody and happy post-Thanksgiving! Is everyone just like super-full? ‘Cause we are. And I must confirm: the pie crusts in the last post were the best pie crusts we have a had in a couple of years. And now on to this recipe. We are a bit sick over here, enduring a bout of…
Paleo Truffles
In practicing my food photography, I needed a new recipe to try out my skills on. That’s the origin of this fudge-y truffle recipe. Conventional recipes for truffles use butter and cream, but I had just made some homemade coconut butter and thought that it might work well. The coconut butter was easy to make…
How to Make Coconut Butter
The following recipe is for coconut butter. The version is made with shredded coconut and therefore very economical. I think it’s delish and I love it with fruit or celery for a snack. How to Make Coconut Butter Recipe Type: Condiments Author: Heather Resler Prep time: 15 mins Total time: 15 mins Serves: 1/2…
