Healthy Star Crunch Cookies

Feeling nostalgic? Try these Healthy Star Crunch cookies – a nourishing and gluten-free, dairy-free take on everyone’s favorite chewy caramel chocolate covered cookie!     I recently asked on Instagram what Little Debbies nostalgic 90s treat everyone missed the most. An overwhelming majority said Star Crunch, so I had to get to work to create […]

Tigernut Chocolate Chip Cookies (Coconut-Free)

    These Tigernut Chocolate Chip Cookies have been called “the best gluten-free and Paleo cookies” by many readers! They taste very similar to Nestle Tollhouse Cookies but without any grains, gluten, nuts, or eggs!   Um… I don’t think these Coconut-Free Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies made with tigernut flour need much of an introduction. […]

AIP "Chocolate" Fudge – Two Ways! (AIP/Low-Sugar)

My husband and I celebrated Valentine’s early this year. We were supposed to go to one of my good childhood friend’s wedding, but Grace decided that this weekend was a mighty fine time to cut her first tooth. On Friday evening, she was screaming at the top of her lungs and I couldn’t figure out why. […]

Chocolate-Covered Power Balls

Chocolate Covered Balls

I’m baaaaaaack. [titillating pause, I know] I took the last month off to do some thinking about … well a lot of things. Big things. Like continuing my maternity leave from occupational therapy. What to do about the blog. How to get into a routine with Grace that was respectful of both of us individuals. Where […]

Chocolate Cherry Gummy Bears (Paleo/AIP-Adaptable)

Gah, how cute are these kid and adult friendly gummy bears? I bought THESE gummy molds recently, since I’m already starting to scheme fun ways to get gut-healing gelatin and collagen into Grace when she’s old enough to eat these. These gummy bears are about half the size of a typical store-bought gummy bear, so if you […]

Macadamia Cinnamon Cookie Ice Cream (Paleo, Vegan)

    Oh man, this dairy-free macadamia nut ice cream is SO DREAMY. I actually had a dream about it the night after I ate it/finished it.   Last year when I received my Whynter Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker, it inspired me to create an ice cream cookbook. Well, that never happened. Not because […]

Paleo Dark Chocolate Covered Wafers (Sugar-Free)

    I asked my husband to cook dinner for me tonight and he said Yes! That’s better than telling me I’m special or taking me shoe shopping. How many nights a week do I wish I had a personal chef, I cannot tell you. After 2 1/2 years on an elimination diet and cooking […]

Salted Tahini-Date Fudge with Bacon & Sunflower

    I don’t often buy seed or nut butters – really only when the craving hits (like it did when I bought this tahini for my Twice-Baked Tahini Mashed Sweet Potatoes) or I’m planning on making a recipe that features them.   In a past Paleo life, almond butter was a dangerous rabbit hole for […]

Crunch Bar Freezer Fudge (Paleo, Vegan)

    I am more than just a little obsessed with this freezer fudge. It never lasts me more than 24 hours. I don’t suggest eating the whole batch in that short of a time frame, but I also will not judge you if you do. I despise baking (that’s why a lot of my […]

Paleo Chocolate Lava Cakes (Egg-Free, Nut-Free, AIP Adaptable)

  So this is my official announcement that I have reintroduced chocolate back into my life. Our break-up was a harsh one. There was lots of name-calling, plate-throwing, and feelings of mistrust. In fact, my heart used to feel like it had dropped into my stomach every time chocolate and I had a misfortunate date. […]
