I remember the first time I ever ate a pomegranate. I was probably three or four years old at the time and I was at a friend’s house with my twin brother, and for some reason I was given a part of a pomegranate. I picked out and ate each of little seeds with my…
Paleo Chocolate Pudding (no avocado)
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 Pumpkin Bars (AIP, Vegan)
Think it’s too early for pumpkin everything? You’ll think again when you try these delicious paleo pumpkin bars! It was 80 degrees outside when I made these, but that didn’t stop my family from gobbling them up! These paleo pumpkin bars have all the spicy flavors of pumpkin pie without the mess or the work. They…
Paleo Oreos
As a kid, I loved oreos. But not really the chocolate cookie. My favorite thing was to eat all the “stuff” inside. Actually, my favorite kind of oreo was the kind that had vanilla cookies. The stuff inside seemed creamier or something. Thankfully I’ve wisened up and learned to appreciate a good chocolate cookie….
Paleo Chocolate Chip Scones (low-carb, nut-free)
I think scones are awesome. What’s not to love? They’re biscuits that are all jazzed up and perfect for dunking in coffee. These paleo chocolate chip scones are especially awesome because they have chocolate and coconut in them. But they’re made with coconut flour and stevia so they’re perfect as a nice high-fat breakfast…
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 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…
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…
Bacon Wrapped Salmon with Baked Plantain Fries (AIP-Friendly Meal)
Ahhhh yes. Salmon. It’s fish, you know. How can it possibly taste good? Well, you see, there is a foolproof way to make anything (well, almost anything) taste good; and that is wrapping it in bacon. 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…
