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…
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…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
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….
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…
Top Ten Thanksgiving Recipes
This month has by far been my busiest month of the year. With it being Epilepsy Awareness Month, my current attempts to come off of my medication, not to mention Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and to top it all off, I have to move into a new place by the end of the…
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…
