Black and White Layered Peppermint Patties This is a guest post from Louise Hendon, co-host of the 2017 Keto Diet Bundle, which runs this week from Feb 7-11th. My own interest in a ketogenic diet started when I realized that it could help me with my epilepsy. But a ketogenic diet has other potential benefits,…
Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes
Summer is upon us, and that means pool parties, backyard BBQs and many holiday shindigs. And what says summer better than Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes?! That’s right! One of the best beverages made into a delicious handheld cup of cake. Also this one is sure to please a crowd of any age. What makes it special is…
Pavlova
Have you ever heard of a Pavlova? I sure hadn’t until my good friend Leslie brought one to our Dancing with the Stars/Bachelor nights as her contribution to the potluck spread. Nothing goes better together than friends, reality tv shows and food! It’s one of the things I miss most about our life in LA….
Review: Clean Eating With A Dirty Mind | White Chocolate Caramel Cashew Clusters
When you go Paleo, there are so many things you might have a hard time leaving behind – mainly those that fall into the ‘decadent’ category. From salty favorites to sweet delights, there are many temptations, comfort foods and old favorites that we all miss dearly. That’s where someone who is part mad genius, part…
Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake
This Flourless Chocolate Cake has been in the works in the Pastured Test Kitchen for quite some time now. It started back several years ago when at my cousin’s birthday party in LA, she served this delicious flourless cake! Then there was another LA family get-together, and that cake was served again! Upon about the…
Review: My Paleo Patisserie | Pistachio Ice Cream with Waffle Cones
When transitioning to a grain-free lifestyle, finding replacements for certain foods can be tough. Gluten makes pizza crust chewy, breads fluffy and grain-free flours aren’t the easiest to just swap out. Learning to make grain-free treats takes time and patience as your raw ingredients react differently than traditional grain flours. I’ve always said baking is…
Review: Every Last Crumb | Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
Last Fall, life was a bit crazy. Sean had already been in Vancouver since July and had been extended on his job into 2015. Long story short, with that news we decided to move out of LA, and figure out our next plans – which for now means I moved to Alabama to be with…
Eggnog Gummies
Holy moly, Christmas is already next week! It’s been such a busy holiday season for Suz and me, with the two roadtrips and the big move out of Los Angeles (me up to Vancouver and Suz home to Alabama for a bit), that we haven’t had a chance to get many recipes out lately. During…
Review ~ Paleo By Season | Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
We first met Pete & Sarah Servold at a Balanced Bites seminar in our old gym back in early 2013. Diane had brought them up to cater the event, and Sean and I immediately hit it off with the Pete’s Paleo team. One bite of the bacon, and you’re in love. Pete’s background as a…
Carrot Cake Faux Oatmeal Cookies
My all-time favorite cake has to be carrot cake. It’s something I inherited from my dad…along with the same birthday. Which is tomorrow by the way! For the last 3 years, Suz has made me the carrot cake our friends Bill and Hayley made in their first book Make It Paleo (rumor is, they’re working…
