Pudding is awesome. Any questions? No? Ok, that’s the end of today’s blog post. Ok fine we can do a recipe. I always thought that all the Jello products ( jello and pudding) were just thickened with weird gums and stuff. It was a crazy discovery to learn that the main ingredient was actually a…
Paleo Apple Slab Pie (with AIP option)
As I sit here typing, I am really happy about this paleo apple slab pie recipe, but a little disappointed because today was going to be a big rock climbing day at my local climbing gym. It didn’t happen because I don’t pay attention to what I’m doing. I was cutting cabbage with literally the…

Paleo Bran Muffins (paleo, nut-free, egg-free)
I am officially exhausted today. I’m sore and bruised and scraped, and I couldn’t be happier. I spent all of yesterday out on a guided rock climbing trip. It was one of the awesomest (that is a word because I said so) experiences of my life. We were able to climb five different courses, progressively…
Paleo Chocolate Cookies (paleo, nut-free, egg-free, seed-free)
When we first started paleo when I was 14, the food requirements weren’t too hard. Grain-free, legume-free, refined sugar-free. Now, things are a little more complicated. It seems like everyone is allergic to dairy, and so many people can’t have eggs, these restrictions being in my own family. I have at least one paleo chocolate…

Sound crazy? Just try it. It is so delicious. Crisp bacon wrapped around tender, mild salmon; it’s like a…
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…

Mom used to use Swiss Miss and a candy cane stirrer, but now we enjoy this rich, peppermint-y version of Christmas Cocoa. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Paleo Baked Pears
My mom can go a little crazy sometimes. Like when we go to the Amish produce stand and they have pears for 30 cents a pound, so she buys 30 pounds. Twice. So we now have 60 pounds of pears vegging out in our basement. Not that I’m complaining, of course. I love to cook…

Avocado Dip with Dill
You all know how much I love avocado, so I thought this post was only natural. I whipped this up last night when I was feeling the need for avocado dressing on my salad. It actually didn’t work on salad as well as I had hoped, but as a dipper for crudites there’s nothing better!…
