Dairy-Free Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

These no-bake and dairy-free Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are a strawberry lover’s dream dessert. They’re AIP, gluten-free, nut-free and made without refined sugars. Perfect late spring and summer treat!     I owe the inspiration to this recipe to Paleo Running Momma. I made her Strawberry Buttercream Frosting (from her new insane Paleo Baking at Home […]

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. […]

35 Fall-Themed AIP Dessert Recipes [Paleo/AIP]

      I recently told my husband I am anxiously awaiting the first hint of fall weather in Texas. It may not happen for at least another month but a sweaty girl can dream. I said, “There’s nothing a woman doesn’t enjoy more than whipping the windows open on the first day of cool […]

AIP PMS Brownies (Paleo)

    You know that old saying: “You can take the Captain Crunch out of the girl, but you can’t take the girl out of the 8th circle of hell also known as PMS”? That sugar-doused cereal used to be my go-to PMS treat in college. I wanted nothing but sweets, treats, and cheats for exactly […]

Cinnamon Honey Butter (AIP, Vegan)

    I have two giant containers of Spectrum palm shortening taking up too much room in my pantry, so forgive the indulgence of this recipe. We recently had the Restaurant Steaks and Sauteed Apples from one of my favorite Paleo cookbooks Real Life Paleo. I was unaware that steak and apples were delicious together, […]

Paleo Date-Filled Arabic Cookies (Ma’amoul)

Growing up with a Lebanese father and very traditional Lebanese extended family, our holidays and celebrations were founded on the four major food groups: hummus, tabbouleh, roast chicken, and ma’amoul. Ma’amoul is a very traditional Arabic cookie made from semolina and butter and filled with a variety of sweets like dates, walnuts, and pistachios. The […]

Peppermint Fudge (AIP & Paleo Versions)

    I won’t hit you over the head with the blatant fact that AIP during the holidays is rough stuff. If I could give you one word of advice it is ALWAYS have something delicious on hand so you don’t feel like you’re being deprived. If delicious equals fudge to you, than say FUDGE […]

Sweet & Crunchy Kale Granola (Paleo, AIP, Vegan)

    Yay for AIP snack food that you can actually travel with, enjoy the taste, and is nutritious to boot. I got the idea for Kale Granola after visiting Hu Kitchen in NYC last weekend. Their version was much sweeter and had nuts/seeds in it, so I was bent on developing an AIP version […]

AIP Sticky Sweet Potato Mug Cake (Paleo)

  Ugh this mug cake is a game changer. I don’t think any diet/lifestyle could take me away from my occasional sweet. They just make me happy, and I think they can belong on your health continuum. For some people, that may mean just at Christmas or Thanksgiving. For others, that may mean a once […]

Pumpkin Roll | Cinnamon Molasses Spread [AIP/Vegan]

I can only think of one thing that American women like more than pumpkin – Channing Tatum’s bum. It’s sort of shaped like a pumpkin, so I guess this makes sense. This was a fun recipe to make, and it may look intimidating because of the siwrly bits and roll-y part, but if I can […]
