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 on my list of priorities, lol.

But, I’ll be damned if the idea of eggnog doesn’t get me every time.…

Best Paleo Bread Recipe (Perfect As-Is or for Making Into Sandwiches)

March 6, 2015 by Faith 145 Comments

This recipe for the Best Paleo Bread slices well with great texture and flavor. Use it to make sandwiches or toast it for breakfast! I know the title of this bread sounds a bit presumptuous, but I promise I don’t mean it that way. I have to be honest…...

Lemon-Vanilla Almond Cake {Paleo}

May 2, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

Paleo Lemon-Vanilla Almond Cake 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 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.)...

Butternut Butterscotch Latte

December 2, 2013 by Faith 27 Comments

I’m sure this happens to you too. Every once in a while I think of an idea that is so simple, so right in front of my eyes, it astounds me that I didn’t think of it sooner. Like my Stuffed Mushroom Casserole, which I could talk about for an hour nonstop. But I’ll stay focused. This Butternut Butterscotch Latte is also the perfect example. You could think of it as the cousin to the Pumpkin Spice Latte…but the cool cousin. The one who moved away to the big city and does raw juice diets three times a year and practices yoga every day....

Healthy Candy Apple Wedges {Paleo}

October 30, 2013 by Faith 40 Comments

How many of you will admit to sneaking some of your kid’s Halloween candy when no one is looking? I don’t have kids (yet!), but yeah, I’d be guilty as charged. It’s the stuff we won’t buy for ourselves, but if it’s just hanging around, it’s fair game. If you didn’t buy it for yourself, the calories don’t count, right? ;) I like to have healthier treats that will still satisfy a sweet tooth at the ready....

Almost-Instant Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Soft Serve {Frozen Treat Week}

July 24, 2013 by Faith 29 Comments

By now Im 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 Genas 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}

July 22, 2013 by Faith 37 Comments

There are so many things that I make for myself on a near-daily basis that I just dont 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....
