Pina Colada Smoothie

June 22, 2020 by Faith 33 Comments

This sweet and creamy Pina Colada Smoothie recipe is a delicious, healthy mocktail style smoothie, and it’s easy to make into a cocktail with a little rum!

Who doesn’t love a good Piña Colada, right? It’s a sweet fruity taste of the tropics that will transport you to a virtual paradise.

This drink was invented in San Juan, Puerto Rico in the 1950’s. And the first sip of a Pina Colada takes you to its birthplace! It conjures up images of palm trees, white sand beaches, pristine ocean water, and a blue sky studded with puffy white clouds.…

Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe (Paleo)

May 25, 2020 by Faith 25 Comments

This paleo Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe has rich chocolaty flavor and great texture! It’s saved me when I just want a little something sweet that’s fast without eating junk food. Like I mentioned when I told you about my Chocolate Cupcakes for Two, I’m kind-of particular about my cake. (As Mike likes to tell me, I’m kind-of particular about a lot of food-related stuff, but that remains to be proven and is an entirely different discussion for another day.) Anyway. I don’t think there is anything more disappointing than seeing an absolutely stunning cake and then sinking your teeth into what you think will be […]...

Flourless Pecan Pie Cashew Butter Blondies

November 27, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Flourless Pecan Pie Cashew Butter Blondies are rich and gooey and full of pecan pie flavor; they’re made with a base of homemade cashew butter (made using The NutraMilk), and unless you show someone the recipe, they’d never guess these blondies are flourless! The thing is, I’ve been wanting to try my hand at baking with cashew butter for forever now. (Or, more realistically, for at least the past three years or so.) But if I’m being honest, cashew butter isn’t something that finds its way into my kitchen very often; peanut and almond butters, yes, but cashew butter…not so much. Cashews on the other […]...

Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread and 3 Brie Topping Ideas

July 3, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Date and Walnut Paleo Crispbread is a fantastic base for crafting flavor profiles with Marin French Cheese and unique homemade toppings. There are certain times in our lives when we don’t realize it in the moment, but later we understand how significant it was. We always know when we’re having a first time experience, but if we knew the last time was actually the last time for a lot of things, I wonder how much different would it be....

Low and Slow Strawberry-Balsamic Pulled Chicken {Paleo}

May 17, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Low and Slow Strawberry-Balsamic Pulled Chicken {Paleo} is a unique twist on classic pulled BBQ chicken; it’s the perfect dish to bring to a spring or summer potluck! When I go strawberry picking, I just can’t help it; it’s like some kind of primal instinct takes over and I suddenly want to pick all the berries. It’s like I’m on the hunt for food and the lives of my tribe members depend on it, lol. (Is anyone else the same way?)...

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Recipe for One (Paleo)

March 27, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

This Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Recipe for One features a sweet vanilla-scented shortcake, and an easy-to-make homemade strawberry sauce. It’s perfect for those spring or summer nights when you want a little treat just for you. I’m not going to lie; as a kid I really disliked strawberry shortcake. It was the soggy cake that deterred me! Not to mention the fact that I really didn’t care much for whipped cream either. (I was such an odd child, lol!)...

Paleo Eggnog Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream

December 23, 2016 by Faith 3 Comments

Paleo Eggnog Cupcakes with Maple Buttercream feature fluffy cake and creamy frosting, and are sure to please paleo and non-paleo eaters! Eggnog is one of those things that plays more of a nostalgic role for me than anything else. I love the idea of eggnog (because it always evokes happy holiday memories), but when it comes to actually downing a cup of it (even a small cup), I don’t quite love it so much. Even the best commercially-made brands of eggnog are always a little too rich and a lot too sweet for my taste, and I’ll be honest, making homemade eggnog just isn’t high […]...

30-Minute Thai-Inspired Cashew Chicken Skillet Supper {Paleo}

August 5, 2016 by Faith 6 Comments

This paleo 30-Minute Thai-Inspired Cashew Chicken Skillet Supper has a great balance of flavors and makes a delicious weeknight meal! During his normal workday routine, my hubby isn’t a breakfast eater. (Unlike me…I look forward to breakfast the night before, lol.) That changes for him when we’re on vacation though....

But on the off chance that you’re looking for a new idea, I think this waffle would fit the bill perfectly....
