When a reader requested that I make a paleo spritz cookies recipe for the holidays, I had to at least try to make them; I can’t pass up a challenge! I racked my brain trying to remember what spritz cookies were like, remembering frosted butter cookies from childhood Christmas parties. I think the cookies that…
Paleo Gingerbread Cookies (nut free) – guest post on Cook Eat Paleo
I’m very excited to be guest posting this delicious recipe over at Cook Eat Paleo! Lisa Wells has an amazing blog with tons of scrumptious and healthy recipes! Gingerbread cookies are such an integral part of the holidays. Their sweet deliciousness goes perfectly with paleo hot cocoa or strong black tea on…
Tigernut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies Bars
Chocolate chip cookie bars are my childhood in a cookie. My mother used to make these deliciously amazing non-paleo blond brownies. They were so chewy and sweet and awesome. She would make them for every party and picnic. Now that we’re paleo, I sometimes crave her amazing cookie bars. What can I do? Get in…
Paleo Low Carb Rolls
Thankgiving is almost here and it’s almost too late to be posting yet another turkey day recipe, but I’m sitting at my computer doing it. I already have an amazing roll recipe, so why am I posting another one? Because these have only about 2 net carbs per roll. Now I am aware that most…
Paleo Butternut Squash Souffle
When I was little, I thought squash was kind of weird. Orange and squishy; I only liked it with lots of butter and salt. Actually I loved everything with lots of butter and salt, but that’s another blog post. I’ve realized now that I love squash as long as it is pureed really well so…
Plantain Stuffing (AIP and Vegan Options) – guest post on A Saucy Kitchen
I have a confession: I never really liked stuffing that much. It smelled delicious but I just couldn’t take the soggy bread thing. I also hated the taste of the store-bought whole wheat bread that we would make our stuffing with. I tried a bite of stuffing at Thanksgiving every year, but never enjoyed it….
Paleo Crackers with Mustard and Sage – guest post from Irena of Paleo Pumpkin
Note from Heather: I’m very excited to have Irena from Paleo Pumpkin guest posting today! Irena follows an AIP diet and her recipes are mostly AIP and paleo. Her pictures are beautiful and her recipes look so scrumptious!! Go follow her!! I was very excited when Heather asked me to write a guest post for…
Paleo Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chunks (nut and coconut free)
It seems like we have a perpetual supply of ever-ripening bananas on our counter. We do eat bananas, but they ripen so quickly! So I’m always trying to find things to do with bananas. My sister can’t eat coconut, so I have to make stuff without coconut flour for her. These muffins are perfect because…
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…
Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Mini Loaf)
As a child, whenever I thought of cinnamon and raisins, I would think about the cinnamon raisin bagels that my mother used to buy. Not very often, though; the plain ones were “healthier.” But the cinnamon raisin ones were soo much better. However, I was never a bagel girl. (Even though I love these!). I…
Sweet Potato Raisin AIP Scones
Sweet potatoes are one of those foods that you either love or hate. I love them because they taste so sweet to me that I feel like I’m eating a treat and I can say I’m eating a vegetable; what? Win-win if you ask me. My dad, on the other hand, thinks that sweet potatoes…
Paleo Honey Bunches of “N’ Oats”
If there’s one thing that I hate about using a food processor, it’s having to stop the food processor and scrape down the sides because whatever food I’m processing invariably gets stuck to them. So I thought of an amazing solution: I removed the cap attachment from the food processor cover so that the cover…
Paleo Rolls 2.0 (Nut-free, Yeast-free, Coconut-free)
A good roll is definitely a must in our house when the holidays roll around. Before paleo, we would all eat Grandma’s delicious homemade whole wheat rolls, and before I was diagnosed with celiac, I definitely still cheated on Thanksgiving and ate one slathered with butter. I’m now to the point where touching bread makes…
Paleo Butterfingers
It’s funny; this is the first “Halloween candy” post that I’ve ever done in four years in the blogging space. Reason being that our family never really did Halloween. For me, Octobers are about eating too much pumpkin custard, watching Packer football, wearing fuzzy sweaters, and prepping for the Thanksgiving deer hunting season. The only…
Paleo Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
So I now have 22 cups of homemade pumpkin puree in the freezer. (Watch me make it here.) So what? It means that there are more pumpkin recipes coming your way! I can’t stop. These paleo pumpkin cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Soft, chewy, bready, and amazing. The pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice really…
Paleo Pumpkin Pudding
This paleo pumpkin pudding is for all you pie-crust challenged peeps. Because after all, pumpkin pie is just a custard with a crust right? Year after year as the holidays rolled around, my mother and made crust after crusty recipe. Fully 8 out of 10 crusts would collapse or shrink or crumble or explode like…
