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…

Paleo Peach Crisp

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 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 Power Bars
These bars are the paleo equivalent of a granola bar. They’re packed with good fats, protein, and fiber, they’re easy to make, portable, filling, easy to change up with different fruits and nuts, and most importantly, delicious! Have one with breakfast, pack one in your lunchbox, or stick in it in a baggie for an…
Paleo Cherry Cheesecake
Ahhhhh…..cherry cheesecake. My most favoritest dessert since I could chew. Crumbly graham cracker crust, luscious filling, sweet cherries, I would beg Mom to make it. This weekend Grandma and Grandpa came over and Grandma brought a cherry cheesecake. This inspired me to create a paleo version and voila! This recipe was born! The crust is…
Paleo Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
A couple weeks ago, Grandma asked me for a rhubarb crisp recipe. I found one on the Internet, and while it was utterly delish (you did a great job Grandma!), it had a good bit of honey/maple syrup in it. So yesterday, in an attempt to use our overabundant rhubarb, I created this version, which…
Paleo Chicken with Red Wine Sauce
I figured out the key to perfect chicken breasts: cut them thin, dredge lightly, sear just to brown, and bake on a rack for just 20-25 minutes, just so a meat thermometer reads 170. The dredging adds a pleasant color and texture to the breasts, as does the browning. Searing them just until the desired…

Paleo Beef Patties with Mushroom Wine Sauce
You could call this a marriage between chicken marsala and salisbury steak. I came up with this recipe after just feeling so bored today with ground beef – but no more! My dad’s exact words at the dinner table: “This is great!” Enough said! Paleo Beef Patties with Mushroom Wine Sauce Recipe Type: Main…
