I had the hardest time naming this recipe. I was originally aiming for a chocolate-coconut pavlova with raspberries, but the result of my pavlova attempt was too substantial to be called a pavlova. Then I realized that we didn’t have any raspberies! So I made lemonade out of lemons and recalled that oranges and chocolate…
Paleo Crackers with Dill
I whipped up these fun crackers yesterday afternoon and even Julia lapped them up! Mom raved about the dill and said they were the best paleo crackers she’s ever had! I love them because they don’t totally exhaust our resources of almond flour, yet the recipe makes lots of crackers. I also love them because…
Paleo Gingerbread Cookies (without molasses)
I was in the mood to make Christmas cookies this weekend, so I decided to recreate a gingerbread cookie recipe that Mom used to make. It did not have molasses, but used butterscotch pudding mix. Man they were good… In order to replicate that flavor, I used lots of vanilla and a healthy dose 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.

“Just Right” Paleo Cranberry Sauce
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As I hope you can tell from the picture above, I have been practicing food photography, so hopefully the pictures on my blog from here on out will be better :). It would seem this recipe comes late, but the truth is that it’s so easy to…

Paleo Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Swirl
Ever wonder if it’s possible to make a healthy cinnamon roll? I did. I looked up recipes and even concocted one of my own, but it was a lot of work and left a lot to be desired when it came to flavor. Then, it hit me. Why not make a plain cake with a…
Paleo Peach Crisp
This peach crisp was a recipe I just came up with yesterday to use up our overabundance of very ripe peaches. Mom raved when she tried it, and I must say, it’s amazing. Paleo Peach Crisp Recipe Type: Fruit Desserts Author: Heather Resler Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 30 mins Total time: 45…
Paleo Chicken Meatballs with Basil
I love making delicious food from fresh produce and herbs during the summer! The basil meatballs was the first recipe I ever concocted on my own. It’s easy and full of basil and tomato flavor.

Paleo Grilled Chicken with Italian Marinade
Last night Dad said I could create the marinade for our grilled chicken. I was in the mood for Italian, so I made a marinade recipe based off of Mom’s Italian Dressing recipe. The chicken breasts marinaded for a couple hours and Dad grilled them up on the gas grill. The resulting chicken breasts were…
Paleo Pesto
From the time I first tried it, I have been in love with pesto. The fresh basil flavor tossed with loads of tender pasta just can’t be beat. In an attempt to use some of our exploding basil plant, I whipped this up with delicious results. Traditional pesto calls for Parmesan cheese and pine…
Paleo Strawberry Shortcake
I think this may be one of the best desserts I’ve ever created. The shortcake is moist and delicious, perfectly complemented by the whipped cream and strawberries. Julia had two huge pieces, Mom raved, Clint lapped his up, while even Dad, who doesn’t eat coconut flour as a rule, liked it. The cool thing about…
Paleo Mexican Casserole
This takeoff of my Pizza Casserole recipe gave me my easy enchilada fix! I used to make paleo enchiladas with egg crepes as tortillas, but boy that was a lot of work! I thought that maybe I could make an enchilada casserole with an enchilada filling instead of my original pizza filling. Julia pronounced…
Simple Asian Chicken Salad
This sinfully simple salad (hey! an alliteration!) is perfect for a quick lunch or emergency dinner. It’s full of yummy chicken, crispy veggies, creamy avocado and Asian flavor. And I’ll bet you have all the ingredients in your pantry! Enjoy! Simple Asian Chicken Salad Recipe Type: Main Author: Heather Resler Prep time: 10 mins…
Paleo Pizza Casserole
For the longest time I’ve wanted a paleo beef casserole recipe. But it’s been hard to come by because of the fact that the family is VERY picky and that potatoes are not paleo. But the idea struck me yesterday that perhaps I could make a pizza casserole, with the fillings underneath an “Oopsie Bun”…
