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 […]
AIP Ginger Sandwich Cookies with Lemon Cream (Paleo)
Oh these made me one happy little gal. My recipe development method is a little obscure, but usually an idea pops in my head so late at night that it wouldn’t be logically sound to begin testing it at 10 pm. So then I bound out of bed and get busy in the kitchen as […]
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. […]
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 […]
Frosted Carrot Cupcakes (Paleo, AIP, Vegan, 21DSD)
Oh tonight was fun. I was in the middle of working on a recipe for an upcoming E-book (not my own, just helping out), and my pup started acting funny – not wanting to use his back legs to walk and he has been constantly shaking his head for the past 2 days. I […]
AIP Rustic Apple Cinnamon Rolls (Paleo, Vegan, Sugar-Free)
I made this recipe awhile back for a guest post, and then I ended up doing another recipe and totally forgot about my cinnamon rolls! Hello!? That is an egregious mistake to make in the AIP community. This recipe does have a few steps, but it takes me less than 30 minutes to throw […]
