In case you didn’t know, I have a pretty big sweet tooth. And ice cream? Yeah, it’s my weakness. I love dark chocolate and all, but to me ice cream is hard to pass up when I’m craving something sweet. Another go-to has to be Cappello’s Slice & Bake Cookie Dough from Primal Palate’s recipe….
Review: Dairy-Free Ice Cream | Butter Pecan Ice Cream
When Sean and I heard our friend Kelly Brozyna (aka The Spunky Coconut) was writing a paleo ice cream book, we got really really REALLY excited. We both love ice cream – a lot. Indulging in the creamy goodness probably too often, and sometimes not feeling so great after (we both can handle dairy fine,…
Review: The Paleo Kitchen | Gingersnap Pumpkin Butter Cookie Sandwiches
When our good friend George of Civilized Caveman told us he was working on a cookbook, we – like the rest of you – said ‘it’s about time!’. And when he told us this book would be a collaboration with Juli of PaleOMG we knew it this book would be HUGE. Combining the talents of…
Honey Vanilla Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Frosting
When baking grain-free treats, it’s hard to come up with things that taste like the gluten bombs of our past. Case in point: cupcakes. I love cupcakes. Who doesn’t? It’s a small little portion of delicious cake, topped with usually too much frosting. I personally split the cake part in half, and put that half…
Banana Cinnamon Chia Pudding
This is actually something that I’ve wanted to make for a long time. Almost two years in fact. When I first heard the concept of chia pudding, I was talking to a member of my gym regarding her epilepsy. We were chatting about the steps I was taking to treat or at the very least,…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
It’s time for Valentine’s Day and what is a more classic and simple recipe to make for that special someone than chocolate covered strawberries? I’m actually surprised that I haven’t posted something like this sooner. It’s such a simple way to make a great dessert that is sure to impress. What’s a little different about…
Holiday Lattes with Paleo Shortbread
We’re officially in Mid December A.K.A. the thick of the Holiday Season. Now is the time where everyone starts making (and devouring) all those tempting and delicious holiday treats. My family alone makes over 8 different kinds of cookies and treats for Christmastime. From turtles (chocolate, caramel and pecans) to hazelnut chocolate covered chow mein…
Pumpkin Pie Crème Brûlée
One of my favorite things about Fall and the holiday season in general is the abundance of pumpkin flavored…everything really. Before my evolution into paleo, I can safely say that I consumed my fair share of pumpkin pies, lattes, cakes, muffins among others. Once I gave up sugar and grains however, all that changed (for…
Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is about as American as, well, pie! It’s sugary, gooey and it’s just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite holiday treats. For most of my life, I had been enjoying the traditional pecan pie and I was happy. That is, until one day my Southern girlfriend told me about a…
Cinnamon Krunch Ice Cream
When I first switched to a paleo way of eating, one of the food items that was the hardest to give up for me was ice cream. As a former fat kid, it wasn’t all that unusual for me to get a pint of cinnamon bun ice cream from the store and destroy it all…
