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…
Cassava Flour Sugar Cookies
I have made these cookies like 5 times in the last 5 days. They just keep disappearing, so I have to make more. I mean it’s not like we’re eating that many cookies of course. Definitely not. But the few cookies we have eaten, IN MODERATION, of course, have been delicious. Perfectly sweet, chewy, dense…
Paleo Peppermint Bark
I am so excited for Christmas!! Seriously though I’m feeling very self-righteous right now because I’ve got my Christmas shopping nearly done. That’s definitely not normal for me; usually I’m just starting shopping now. But enough about me let’s talk about peppermint bark! I love chocolate, both dark and white, and this combo of the…
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream – paleo, vegan, low carb
I just realized that I am posting an ice cream recipe in October. Kinda rebellious since the weather is cooling down, but that’s how I roll. Because who doesn’t want to sit inside as the trees turn yellow and red and chow down on deliciously creamy mint chocolate chip ice cream? Plus this recipe is…
Paleo Skillet Peach Crisp
So it’s confession time: When I see ripe and delicious fruit sitting on our counter, what do you think I see? A healthy paleo afternoon snack with a dollop of almond butter? HAHA no. I see dessert. Not as in I’m so healthy I eat fruit as dessert, but I see the muffin or cake…
AIP Strawberry Shortcake
During this season my mom always brings home lots of delicious and nutritious berries from the store when she shops each week. We love them for snacks and such, but if you’ve ever had a ton of beautiful red strawberries in your fridge you know they just sit there and basically beg you to cook…
Paleo No Bake Brownies
So something momentous happened a couple of days ago that has nothing to do with brownies. And actually it has nothing to do with me. Well actually it sort of does. But not really. Heather, quit babbling and tell me what it is! Ok fine, if you’re going to be like that. My little sister,…
Paleo Strawberry Ice Cream (dairy-free, coconut-free, egg-free)
Wisconsin is Amish-central, and we have an Amish farmer right down the road who grows fresh strawberries. They’re juicy, sweet, delicious, and make supermarket strawberries seem like wax imitations of the real thing! My family love ice cream, and when I made this super-simple recipe for them, it was gone within just a couple of…
Sugar Detox Coconut Butter Truffles
My family and I have this running kind-of-joke that some of the desserts that I cook are not sweet enough. In reality they’d probably like me to add probably 2 extra tablespoons of maple syrup to a recipe, but that extra 32 grams of sugar isn’t something I usually think the recipe needs. I think this…
Paleo Protein Brownies (egg and nut-free)
Let’s talk about big words. Here’s a ton of big words: “My sufficiency has been serensified. Any more would be obnoxious to my superfluity.” Apparently this is something that my grandparents say occasionally when they don’t want any more food; we found this out on a recent vacation we went on with them. I now…
Egg Free Paleo Pancakes (low-carb)
Not to brag, but also, to brag, my cooking skills have come a looooong way. Not like I was a good cook as a small child though, just that I went from becoming a bad cook or no-cook kind of cook to the allergy-free baker I am now. For instance, my first cooking experience was…
Cookie Dough Fat Bombs
Sometimes I take a step back and survey my life. I am currently sitting in my very messy room typing on my laptop the 4th blog post that I’ve written today. And it’s not just any blog post, it’s a blog post for Fat Bombs. If you had told me 6 years ago that part…
Paleo S’mores Cake
I’d like to tell you that this post is inspired by the fact that it is bonfire season (and indeed, I’d never miss a good bonfire), but really it’s because I’m obsessed with making homemade marshmallows with gelatin and stevia. So much so that I am currently clean out of gelatin. I just love being…
Paleo Sandwich Thins (nut-free, egg-free, vegan, low-carb)
The day after I got back from Paleo f(x) my dad grilled delicious beef burgers and we ate them with lettuce leaves as usual. But while we were eating Dad made a comment that he missed burger buns; and that was all I needed to get the wheels of my brain turning. I was super…
AIP Waffles
This is one of those posts that I made the recipe, took photos, edited everything, and then went to Paleo f(x) and forgot about the recipe. I rediscovered it in my post drafts and had to get it posted; these waffles are amazing! These easy waffles are a great intro to cooking with plantains as…
