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 […]...
Paleo Cranberry Bread Recipe
This Paleo Cranberry Bread Recipe yields a moist, flavorful loaf with the perfect amount of sweetness to balance fresh cranberries, plus toasted pecans for a nutty crunch! Cranberry is one of my favorite winter fruits. Yes, it’s tart, and yes, you can’t just sit down and enjoy a bowlful of cranberries the way you would cherries or blueberries. (Or maybe you could, but I’ve never heard of anyone doing that!)...
Maple Walnut Cheesecake Truffles {Dairy-Free; Gluten-Free; Naturally-Sweetened}
With that evil temptation of a holiday coming at us this Friday, I had to take preemptive measures. Otherwise, I knew I’d be doomed....
Soft and Chewy Tahini, Honey, and Almond Cookies {Paleo}
I keep a huge jar of tahini in my fridge at all times. (Because a normal-sized jar would just not due, lol.)...
Lemon Almond Cake Recipe (Paleo)
This paleo Lemon Almond Cake Recipe has a dense, but moist and tender crumb, and is sweetly aromatic with vanilla and lemon. When I was younger, I hated any and all lemon-flavored desserts with a passion. Lemon bars, lemon meltaway cookies, and even lemon meringue pie were all on my “avoid at all costs list”. (But oddly enough, I was a big fan of super sour lemon-flavored WarHeads candy – does anyone else remember those? Incidentally, I consider this proof positive that there is no rhyme or reason to kids’ tastes.)...
Cranberry Scones {Paleo}
When I was developing this recipe, I almost didn’t expect to like these scones....
Almost-Instant Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Soft Serve {Frozen Treat Week}
By now I’m sure most of you have heard of banana soft serve. (If not, you will absolutely die when you try it.) Also called “yonanas”, banana soft serve is frozen banana blended with whatever flavorings (like vanilla extract, cocoa powder, espresso powder, etc.) or add-ins (like toasted almonds, coconut, chocolate chips, etc.) you like. The best part is that it has the same creamy texture as soft serve ice cream. (The first time I ever saw banana soft serve was on Gena’s brilliant blog, Choosing Raw.) As you can imagine, this delicious treat is incredibly versatile and completely perfect for when you want ice […]...
3-Minute Easy Cherry-Chocolate Sorbet {Frozen Treat Week}
There are so many things that I make for myself on a near-daily basis that I just don’t think about sharing the recipe for. Silly things. Like this caramelized onion + goat cheese omelet, this cabbage hash + fried eggs, or this pretty little breakfast number. Or an almost-instant, healthy treat (that I promise tastes more indulgent than healthy), like this cherry-chocolate sorbet that can be easily whipped up when a sweet craving strikes....
Paleo Maple-Cinnamon Granola {Grain-Free; Gluten-Free; Nut-Free; Naturally-Sweetened}
So, granola. I won’t even try to sell you on it because I know you’re probably already a fan. And if you are, you will probably be interested in my Pumpkin Spice Granola, which is one of my all-time favs. And if you’re not, I’d say avert your eyes or X out of this window…but I’m not going to say that because this granola is so unlike a traditional granola that you might just like it....
Blueberry, Buckwheat + Chia Seed Muffins {Gluten-Free; Naturally-Sweetened}
I get a lot of emails from people telling me they want to start their day off with a healthy breakfast, but they don’t have time for the usual healthy go-to breakfast-y things like eggs or hot cereal. Or even smoothies. (As a side note, I am a firm believer that making a smoothie shouldn’t take longer than five minutes! That is less time than it takes to sit down and eat a bowl of cold cereal; not that cold cereal can’t be healthy, unless it’s the sugar-laden junk, but eating a bowl of cereal still takes longer than a smoothie, since a smoothie can […]...
