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…
Chocolate Coconut Protein Bark
The more collagen I buy or get sent, the more amazing uses I keep thinking for it! I’ve done protein bars, protein waffles, and even protein pancakes. But the thing that I’ve never done is this (drumroll please…) protein CANDY! Protein candy? How is that even a thing? Well, when you consider that most protein bars…
Honey Lemon Paleo Gummy Bears
This recipe is in honor of my beautiful and wonderfully supportive mother. She absolutely loves gummy candy, and her favorite is gummy bears. Basically my mom eats Paleo Plus Gummy Bears. (There’s a diet book idea!!) My mom has also been growing our her hair, so she’s been trying to get more gelatin and collagen…
Mango Strawberry Kale Smoothie
Note: This is a sponsored post written for Perfect Supplements. All opinions and writings are my own. While we’re still getting a few chilly days here, spring has sprung in southern Wisconsin. And you know what that means; fresh berries and tropical fruits are appearing in the produce section! Warmer weather definitely screams smoothies, and…
No Bake Paleo Magic Cookie Bars
There was a period of time in my childhood that I have decided to refer to as the Magic Cookie Bar Era. What that means is that every time we would go to a get-together, playdate, party, or potluck, my mother would make her amazing 7 layer bars, or magic cookie bars. Come to think…
Paleo Fudgy Brownies
I am constantly on a quest for perfect brownies. It’s not a bad life. To me, perfect brownie means fudgy and dense on the inside, and bit crispy on top. No fluffy, cakey brownies for me, thank you very much! My Plantain Brownies fit that bill quite well, but I developed this recipe in case…

Paleo Challah
I had a reader email me and request a grain-free challah recipe to make for Easter dinner. Challah is simply bread enriched with eggs, oil, and sugar, and braided into a crusty loaf. Never one to pass up a paleo bread challenge, I set to work! The loaf turned out totally yummy; beautifully brown and…
AIP Apple Cinnamon Mini Muffins
There’s been a revelation in the world of AIP baking, and I cannot take credit for it. Rebecca from Lichen Paleo, Loving AIP has a recipe for No-Nut Tigernut Spread (aka homemade AIP nut butter). I was a little skeptical but I had to try making it because I knew it would be totally awesome…

Coconut Flour Donuts – with low-carb option
I remember when I was probably 6 years old we were building our new house and living with our grandparents while we were doing so. Every once in a while for a special treat Grandma would get though little mini vanilla doughnuts for us to enjoy with breakfast; they were so delicious! These vanilla doughnuts…
Chocolate Coconut Oil Fat Bombs
Once upon a time, I bought a gummy bear mold with intentions to make homemade gummy bears. But when the mold came I realized I had no gelatin. But I’d already spent a whopping $10.89 of my hard-earned cash, so I had to do something with this mold while I waited for my Vital Proteins…

The Best Chewy Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
I didn’t always love coconut flour. The first recipe I ever made with coconut flour was a pancake recipe; it called for an entire cup of coconut flour and yielded absolutely the worst pancakes I have ever eaten. After that traumatic experience I took a break from coconut flour in my paleo eating. I’ve since…
Paleo Berry Pop Tarts
I have eaten exactly 5 pop tarts in my life. The reason I know that is when I was 11 years old, my friend and I loved horses and wanted to attend a week-long horseback riding day camp at a local ranch. The problem was that the day camp cost about $300 per person, and…
