Pineapple smoothie + basil? What? Hear me out. Occasionally people ask me where I come up with ideas for recipes. Lots of places! But, my favorite source of inspiration is travel. Hands down. Steve and I took a couples trip to Mexico and the food was SO good. And inexpensive — I mean $6 for …

It’s rare that I’m eating the very thing that I’m writing about, but here I am, munching on one of these Paleo Samoa Cookie Bars and chatting about them. Man, they’re good. You’ve eaten Girl Scout Samoa cookies, yes? (Sometimes called Caramel DeLites.) They’re my favorite GS cookie. I love caramel and coconut and their …
If you’re a Starbucks goer, you’ll know what I mean by “Pink Drink” — the famous drink made with Tazo brand passion tea and a hint of strawberry and cream. It’s a delightful combination. Turns out a Pink Drink makes amazing popsicles, too!
Does anyone remember these? I posted them YEARS ago and called these “Tortured Strawberries” It’s a chocolate covered strawberry dipped in marshmallow fluff AND THEN TOASTED WITH A TORCH. Yes, for real. And, yes, it’s as good as it sounds. PSSST: There’s a way to make these low-carb and keto-friendly!
The only thing better than a gooey chocolate lava cake is a gooey chocolate lava cake with peanut butter oozing out. Oh, and this one is grain-free and easily made dairy-free! I’m pretty sure most of you have eaten or at least heard of a molten chocolate lava cake, right? Those individual sized chocolate cakes …
[90s flashback] Have any of you eaten Marie Callender’s Razzleberry pie? It reminds me of my childhood and mixed berry pies happen to be my 2nd favorite kind of pie. These gluten-free berry hand pies are like a miniature, portable version of those. AND they’re made with my Perfect Gluten-Free Pie Crust. (In case you’re …
This might look rather simple on your end. Custard & berries? That’s it? If you’re imagining vanilla Jell-O pudding with some jam mixed in. Please remove that thought from your mind. It’s so much more than that. I’ll try to explain.
This easy berry sauce is just a few ingredients and super versatile! Comes together quickly from frozen berries to spoon over your waffles, pancakes, ice cream sundaes and can be even be used as a pie filling! This recipe is one of the reasons I always keep a bag of frozen mixed berries in my …
Chocolate bark is a fantastic thing, guys. I love it because it’s QUICK, EASY, and you don’t even need a formal recipe. You can put ALLLL kinds of things on bark, too. And use different types of chocolate.
Remember when I asked you guys if you wanted a Valentine’s treat or easy dinner ideas and you said “EASY DINNER IDEAS!” and then I posted some gorgeous beet brownie bowls which would have been perfect for Valentine’s Day, but I didn’t even get the post up until AFTER Valentine’s Day? *facepalm*
The biggest setback in making a paleo, low-carb, or keto pumpkin pie is the crust. So, let’s ditch the crust. The filling is where it’s at anyway, right? And who could say no to a pumpkin “pie” topped with toasted marshmallow fluff? The answer is NO ONE.
Last Wednesday was our 15th wedding anniversary. No, this isn’t a cake I made to celebrate. It’s actually the cake I made for my birthday a month ago. But just pretend it’s a sweet little anniversary cake for now.
Steve and I went to New York the first week of July and ate ourselves silly. We made a few trips to the gelato stands, and I totally fell in love with the pistachio gelato. I had to come home and make a cleaned-up Dairy Free Pistachio Ice Cream. (Or “mustachio”, like my 3-year-old calls …
I can’t tell you how excited I am about these paleo cookies. AND the cookbook it came from. Normally I’m not a huge fan of paleo chocolate chip cookies because the texture is usually way off, which makes me sad — particularly because chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. This recipe is super, though — …
I’ve been on a quasi keto kick lately and dabbling in some low-carb dessert action. (Mostly eating keto chocolate. Thanks Lily’s.) After such a great response for the White Chocolate Raspberry Fat Bombs I shared last year, I wanted to make another kind of fat bomb — a chocolate version. Keto chocolate treats are super …
A handful of ingredients and five minutes will give you a blender full of paleo strawberry ice cream!
I’ve wanted to make these Strawberry Nut Butter Truffles ever since I posted the Strawberry Cream Nut Butter recipe last spring. Now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner because these are just as good as I had hoped they’d be! They’d be a perfect little candy to make for Valentine’s Day! I added …
Hey, I just want to let you know that this post is in partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market. I received monetary compensation for my time, and, as always, all opinions shared are my own. Yes, another chai recipe for you — in the form of chai caramel popcorn. And it won’t be the last chai …
When I was a kid my best friend’s mom made these oatmeal fudge cookie bars that I was obsessed with. They had soft, chewy crust with a ripple of thick, smooth fudge throughout. I couldn’t stop eating them. I wanted to make a paleo version, so I took the recipe for “A Big Chocolate Chip …
I REALLY hope you saved some leftover cranberry sauce for these orange cranberry bars. I used my Wassailed Cranberry Sauce, but you can use any prepared cranberry sauce — bonus points if it has some orange flavors in it. These would be a good snack to take with you while you’re shopping all weekend. Are …
I’m in love with this little paleo apple crumble! If you’re in charge of dessert for a gathering where someone is avoiding gluten, grains, or dairy, you might end up being kissed if you bring this. Wait until you see how I prepped the apples. *Eek*
Freeze-dried raspberries give these fat bombs such a burst of berry flavor and sweetness! You’ll love this creamy truffle-like combination.
A cute, portable protein-filled snack that tastes like brownie batter. Pretty perfect, right?
Using freeze-dried strawberries (or any type of fruit!) give nut butter a rich strawberry flavor without making it mushy. Those little dried bits are like gold!
This is a rich and fluffy gluten-free, naturally-sweetened chocolate silk pie and the only dairy is grass-fed butter!
