Choc-o-Bacon (Chocolate Covered Bacon) OUT.OF.CONTROL. there is really not much to say about this. bake it, dip it, die for it. the end. People will talk trash, they’ll try to make you feel insecure about your food choices. And then it happens. Those suckers fall for the good stuff and literally eat their words. shared…
Paleo Chocolate Pie with Coconut Macaroon Crust
Icebox pie brings back lots of memories of my grandmother. She loved her treats and made many of them homemade. These days, it seems we satisfy our cravings more with store bought treats which desperately lack any sort of nutritional foundation. I say, make dessert healthy! Creamy and thick yet not immensely heavy like those…
Coconut Macaroon Pie Crust
In the passover section at the grocery store each year, there is a delicious coconut macaroon pie crust. I’ve purchased it before, celebrating in all of its gluten free glory. Unfortunately as many of us have learned, gluten free does not equal healthy. There is a whole lotta sugar in this treat, and so it’s…
Paleo Shamrock Shake
Have you seriously looked at what’s in a Shamrock Shake? I mean I know it’s not supposed to be health food and all, coming from a fast food joint, but eeks! That’s some scary business right there. Luckily if you happen to be a fan of the minty treat, here is a stand in that…
Paleo “Peanot” Butter Cups
Paleo “Peanot” Butter Cups Look it’s more chocolate! Except this time there is a special treat inside. These are copycat peanut butter cups but without peanuts, dairy, PGPR (huh?), or TBHQ (wha?). Oh and guess what? They are quick and simple too. I think it’s crazy that we are expected to trust what’s on supermarket shelves when…
Double Chocolate Avocado Cookies
Double Chocolate Avocado Cookies I gotta admit, this was not my idea, but when a friend sent me photos of her version of these, I figured I had to give it a go. I always try to keep sweeteners to a minimum, so this only uses 1/4 cup of maple syrup for the whole baker’s…
lemon chia truffles
i recently had an organic grain free clif bar that was pretty darn good. it was lemony but not overwhelmingly so and had chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and some other goodies. like my lala truffles, these are easy, inexpensive and packed with great ingredients! ingredients: 1 cup pitted dates 1/4 cup chia seeds 1/4 cup pumpkin…
PECAN PIE MUFFINS
PECAN PIE MUFFINS have a certain comfort they provide by combining the best of both worlds… These muffins have been on my mind for awhile now. They have a gluten filled sister recipe that is so good that even after being gluten free for 5 years, I still think about them! Well now this grain…
no bake coconut haystacks – paleo style
growing up i loved the butterscotch chocolate haystacks my mom would make with lo mein noodles, chocolate, and butterscotch morsels. given that the traditional recipe is well, not quite the way we eat these days, i figured i better come up with one that was! these add in pumpkin seeds, nuts, and flax seeds for…
