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…
AIP Banana Bread Doughnuts
I’m not even sure that I need to say anything about this recipe. But because I’m told it’s good for search engines, here goes: These AIP banana bread doughnuts with creamy frosting are DA BOMB and you definitely cannot tell that they are free of grains, nuts, seeds, and (drumroll please)… EGGS! These fluffy doughnuts…
Paleo Pumpkin Waffles – nut free, single serve, 21DSD
I had quite the time making this recipe. The first test batch that I made I forgot to put any sort of oil in, so the waffles with quite dry. And twice I accidentally dumped in Penzey’s Galena Street Rub spice mix (which is very savory) instead of cinnamon! Needless to say, when I finally…
21DSD Apple Muffins
I’ts day 16 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox! I’m feeling like I have good energy, but man, I really want chocolate. Less than a week to go! In the meantime, I am loving these cute little apple muffins. I’ve been doing a lot with green bananas lately, but the green apples need a little…
Paleo Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pizza (21DSD, nut-free)
I’m just going to say this before anyone else does: Now Inside Out is one of my favorite movies (and that line is probably my favorite), but I don’t live in San Francisco, and here in rural Wisconsin, you can pay a lot of money at a pizza place for a chicken broccoli alfredo pizza,…
20+ Egg Free Whole30 Breakfasts (21DSD too!)
Breakfast can be hard when you’re doing a Whole30 or 21DSD! I know I get tired of eggs and my dad is allergic to eggs. Here’s 20+ egg free whole30 breakfast ideas! These can be modified to be 21DSD: If the recipe contains banana, use green-tipped. If the recipe contains apple, use granny smith. If…
Paleo Banana Chia Pancakes
“It’s so fluffy I’m gonna die!!” Yes, I just made that reference (comment below if you know what movie that’s from!) Whether or not you get that reference, I think you’ll understand that that quote definitely sums up how I feel about these pancakes. I set out to make a 21DSD-approved pancake recipe with some…
21DSD Chocolate Chip Cookies (soft-baked)
I believe this recipe took me four tries to perfect, and I have lots of not-quite-perfect cookies in the freezer. It’s difficult to make a perfectly-textured cookie without the use of coconut sugar or maple syrup! But I’m so glad I kept trying, because these cookies are the perfect not-sweet treat. One of these cookies…
Paleo Taco Casserole (21DSD)
Well, it’s Day 9 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox! I’ve had tons of energy lately and my appetite has been awesome (hungry at meals, not hungry in between)! I’m also finding out all the amazing ways you can cook with a green banana (I’m currently perfecting a 21DSD chocolate chip cookie recipe with green…
Low Sugar Paleo Brownies (Nut-free, 21DSD)
Today is day 4 on my first-ever 21 Day Sugar Detox! I have had a ton of energy and felt really good; although I woke up this morning craving pancakes. So I had pumpkin pancakes made with egg, pumpkin, and coconut flour for breakfast! So yummy! I had to get up at 4:30 yesterday and…
21DSD Beef and “Rice” Burrito Bowls + 21DSD day 2 updates
Yesterday was day two on my first-ever 21 Day Sugar Detox; I started on January 4 and I am loving it so far. Now I can’t say that I am not craving chocolate (and cheese; who am I kidding), and it is really hard for me not to nosh on cashews; they’re my favorite nut…
Coconut Flour Flatbread – Paleo, Low-Carb, 21DSD
Yay! My first blog post of 2016! I’m totally going to be writing “2015” and then changing the 5 to 6 after the fact for basically the next six weeks. But that’s ok because it’s a lot easier than changing a 4 to a 5 like I did last year, although I must say that…
Banana Chia Seed Paleo Breakfast Cake (nut-free, 21DSD-compliant)
When I first went paleo, I ate a lot of muffins and pancakes for breakfast. I would bake a large batch of muffins on the weekend and we would have them all week. Over the years breakfast has become more chill at our house, but when we have company we like to bake something sweet…
