I’m not one to shy away from chocolate in my ketogenic diet, I even put cacao in my chili! Chocolate is a beautiful ingredient, and so versatile! Kelly Brozyna, AKA The Spunky Coconut, has come out with a freakin’ fabulous new cookbook – The Paleo Chocolate Lovers’ Cookbook. With over 80 recipes, Kelly has given us chocolatey…
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Paleo muffins are a great source of post-workout protein & carbs and of course a really easy, grab-and-go breakfast. I’ve been making various versions of paleo muffins over the past few years, but after seeing chocolate chip muffins at our local coffee shop, I had to try to create a version I could eat. These…

Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
I love ice cream. It’s hands-down one of my favorite treats – be it summer or winter. I can handle dairy OK, but occasionally I need to lay off the cow, so I decided to try my hand at making vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Meanwhile, try out the vanilla and let me know what…
Watermelon Granita
Ever since I can remember, summertime is my absolutely FAVORITE time of the year. I lived at our neighborhood pool, where I was on the swim team, later on a lifeguard and swim coach. Watermelon and summer go together like bacon & eggs – and there’s nothing better than eating a slice of juicy watermelon…
Carmelized Banana Milkshake
Earlier this week I wrote a big post summarizing our amazing trip to Pittsburgh to spend some time with our friends Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers. We had an amazing time to say the least. While I know most of the post talked about the fantastic food we had at restaurants, we also…
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
A restaurant that I attend on a regular basis sometimes serves a whipped avocado topping for their amazing burgers. The texture is just so light and creamy much like a mousse so I figured, why not add some cacao powder and some other goodies to a whipped avocado and try to make a great mousse…
Macadamia Coconut Cream Candy
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I drove the 90 minutes south to visit our friend George for some good times and of course ridiculous food. While we were there helping him make his pumpkin blueberry blondies, George introduced us to what is now the greatest substances ever: Coconut Cream Concentrate. I’ve been experimenting with…
Paleo Egg Nog
It’s officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Every year when egg nog hits the shelves in stores I find that I just can’t help myself and must indulge. I’ve had a lifelong obsession with this magical holiday concoction. There’s just something about that sweet, creamy beverage that really makes…
Maple Coconut Macaroons
I’ve always been a big fan of coconut. And in my early days of adopting a paleo diet, I ate my fair share of macaroons as long as they weren’t made with corn syrup anyway. When I started the ketogenic paleo approach, obviously sweets and desserts even the paleo kind were off limits. It really…
