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 hand, are a very different story.…

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?)...

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake for One

March 27, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake for One is 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. (Such an odd child, lol!) Since then I’ve seen the error of my ways, at least in terms of whipped cream bliss....

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 […]...

Secretly Healthy Fudgy Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies {Paleo}

September 30, 2016 by Faith 14 Comments

These Secretly Healthy Fudgy Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies will have chocolate lovers swooning over their flavor and texture. And they also happen to be nut-free! If you’re looking for insanely fudgy and deep, dark chocolately brownies, then look no further. I have you covered 100% and then some with these beauties. But before we talk about brownies, let’s talk sweet potatoes for a quick minute. I have always viewed them as more dessert than anything else, which no doubt stems from the fact that growing up my mom always served them with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. There’s nothing at all wrong with that (I […]...

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....

May 2, 2016 by Faith 45 Comments

This paleo Healthy Birthday Cake Flavored Waffle for One uses all-natural, real-food ingredients to get that fun, whimsical birthday cake flavor; it’s perfect for any special occasion morning! With Mother’s Day less than a week away, you might already have your morning plans all set. Maybe you made brunch reservations at a great place that mom has been wanting to try, or maybe you make the same special breakfast for her every year. But on the off chance that you’re looking for a new idea, I think this waffle would fit the bill perfectly....

2-Minute Homemade Teriyaki Sauce {Paleo}

September 16, 2015 by Faith 6 Comments

Make your favorite Japanese dishes at home with this versatile 2-Minute Homemade Teriyaki Sauce! Plus it’s paleo and you probably have everything to make it on hand right now. When Mike gets to choose our restaurant for date night, he inevitably goes with Lebanese or Pakistani. I was on a serious Indian food kick for a while when it was my turn to pick a place, but I had it so much even I got sick of it (which is unheard of for me), so now I’ve taken to exploring smaller, locally-owned restaurants of all kinds in our area (they are usually full of charm […]...

Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles {Paleo}

July 13, 2015 by Faith 17 Comments

These paleo Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles are a great way to satisfy your summer cravings for a sweet treat to cool down with. I’m not even joking when I say I could live off cherries and nothing else during their teasingly short season. (Even despite all those warnings about the collywobbles my mom gave me growing up.) Collywobbles or not, a five pound bag of cherries never lasts long in my fridge....
