I don’t really talk about my health or my personal life on this blog. I’ve always wanted my website to be exclusively my virtual cookbook, ever adapting and changing to what is most needed in the healthy cooking world. But it’s been months since I’ve made content for this blog. I haven’t created a…
Paleo Peppermint Patties with Collagen Protein
The cool taste of peppermint patties always brings back memories of being a little girl and grocery shopping with my mother. I’ve always been domestically inclined, and when I was only 4 or 5 I enjoyed “helping” my mother do the family grocery shopping each week. After the food for our family of five was…

AIP Coconut Caramel Cookie Bars
I was a little kid when I first tried caramel, and I’ve been in love ever since. With caramel, that is. I try to eat healthy and avoid candy and all that stuff and blah blah blah… but when caramel is present I’m pretty sure wild horses couldn’t keep me from it. Come to think…

AIP Orange Macaroons
Just when I think I can’t come up with another recipe that uses coconut, I come up with one. It’s basically my superpower. Like this: “It’s a bird!! It’s a plane!! No… IT’S…….. COCONUT RECIPE GIRL!!” Basically my identity without exaggeration. Anyway, you know what goes great with coconut? Everything. Obviously. But also oranges. I…
Cassava Flour Sugar Cookies
I have made these cookies like 5 times in the last 5 days. They just keep disappearing, so I have to make more. I mean it’s not like we’re eating that many cookies of course. Definitely not. But the few cookies we have eaten, IN MODERATION, of course, have been delicious. Perfectly sweet, chewy, dense…

Paleo Vegan Pumpkin Mini Muffins
It’s October. Which means one thing. PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!! I mean I’m sure October means other things too. But right now it just means pumpkin, because it’s my blog and I make the rules.

Perfect Coconut Flour Brownies
So let’s talk about coconut flour. That’s the point where I can feel your eyes glazing over because seriously who wants to talk about the isolated fiber of a coconut? Me, that’s who! Why? Because I am a nerd. But also because the discussion involves brownies. Oh, are your ears perking up? Do you mean…
