Well, today is my 19th birthday; it’s been exactly 1 year since I became an adult. I feel kind of old, but my parents just laugh at me when I say that 😛 😉 It’s hard to believe that I started this blog fully 3 years ago; I remember I worked food service and blogged…
Paleo Vegan Chocolate Cake
As I’ve mentioned before, February is the month of birthdays in our house. We always have a big family birthday bash with cake and presents for everybody. As the allergy-free cook of the family, I was put in charge of making the birthday cake. No grains, eggs, or dairy are allowed in said birthday cake!…

Low Carb Pumpkin Bars
I am of the opinion that pumpkin should not just be relegated to fall and Thanksgiving! It’s so much fun to incorporate this delicious squash into my food all months of the year. Pumpkin is also a high-nutrition, low-cal addition to baked goods; and canned organic pumpkin in available all year round; why wouldn’t we…
Sunbutter Chocolate Valentine’s Hearts (paleo, vegan, coconut-free, nut-free)
My sweet little sister turns FIFTEEN this Valentine’s day; it’s crazy because I remember when I turned fifteen; I felt so old and mature – lol. And let’s not even talk about the fact that I’m going to be nineteen this month; yes we won’t even mention it. Anyway, my sister is sensitive to gluten,…
Paleo Pretzel Rolls
These rolls are a cross between my two most popular cassava flour recipes: French Bread and Paleo Soft Pretzels, and they capture the best of both worlds. With these amazingly chewy rolls with the crispity-crunchy and salty crust, I can enjoy one of my favorite bread items, soft pretzels, and eat bread with butter! At…
AIP Banana Muffins (paleo, vegan)
I’ve made many, many versions of AIP banana muffins before I came up with the perfect recipe. But it was worth it; these delicious muffins are fluffy and soft and they rise and cook through and everything! Plus there’s no gelatin involved, so they’re vegan too! The secret to the amazingness of these muffins is plantain…
Paleo Hamburger Stir Fry with Cabbage and Carrot Noodles
Sometimes I want to eat something kind of fancy, but all I have is ground beef. That’s how this recipe was born; I wanted a fancy-ish lunch with minimal effort and ingredients I already had in the cupboard. I had a lot of fun making carrot noodles with my new spiral veggie cutter, and the…
Salted Toffee Brownie Doughnuts – egg-free
Valentine’s Day is coming quickly, and I love any excuse to eat chocolate! That was pretty much the extent of rationalization that I needed to make these doughnuts. I also just bought myself some water chestnut flour, and I have to say that when it comes to egg-free paleo baking, water chestnut flour is a…

Low Carb Chocolate Muffins
Ah February. For most, this is the month of Valentine’s day, but for my family, it’s also the month of birthdays! It’s my birthday this month, by brother’s, my sister’s, my dad’s, my grandma’s, my cousin’s, and even our dog’s! So the fact that it’s also Valentine’s is a bit of an afterthought in our…
AIP Lemon Scones
I love lemon in any form. When I was little my grandma would make lemon loaf cake. Lemonade was always my jam. Now I like lemon water, but I thought I’d mix it up a little and make scones! These amazing scones are egg-free but you’d never know it. They’re luscious and lemony with a…
Cassava Flour Biscuits
Well, I finished my first every 21 Day Sugar Detox on Monday, and I must say I’m very happy that I did it! It was definitely hard not eating sugar for 3 weeks, but it was so worth it! Benefits I saw from the detox: More energy Less bloating Fewer cravings Hormone balance …So did…
Plantain Egg Muffins
One of my favorite Christmas presents that I received was a spiral veggie cutter! I haven’t gotten the chance to make a ton of things with it, but I did make these yummy plantain egg muffins; actually for Christmas morning! The spiralized plantains in these plantain egg muffins cook up crispy like little hash browns,…
Paleo Mini Bread Bowls
I have really great memories of bread bowls. I don’t remember what restaurant it was, but we would go there as a family when I was little; my brother, my sister, and I would get kid’s meals, and my mother would usually get this amazing chili in a bread bowl. The bread bowl was huge…
