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.…

Deluxe Cake Batter Fudge

April 14, 2014 by Faith 10 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m a little hard-pressed to find a dessert that’s suitable for Easter outside of carrot cake, lemon bars, or orange chiffon cake. And of course all the cutesy little bunny and egg-topped cupcakes and cookies. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things (in fact, I die over a good slice of carrot cake!), but I don’t know…I like to mix things up a little. If you’re the same way, this fudge will definitely keep things interesting....

5-Minute Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake {Paleo}

March 17, 2014 by Faith 25 Comments

Like I mentioned here, 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 pure bliss, and realizing that it tastes like rubbery-textured cardboard. Such a bummer....

Toasted Coconut Cream Pudding

Here in the Middle East, hospitality reigns supreme. This means that at any time a guest could pop by unannounced and you have to be ready to be hospitable. Which basically means you have to be willing to drop whatever it is you were doing before they arrived and entertain them, and of course you need to have a well-stocked fridge so you can offer them refreshments....

Vanilla-Cardamom Pear Hand Pies

November 15, 2013 by Faith 22 Comments

I’m one of those people. You know, the people who get an idea stuck in their head and can’t sit still until it’s not just an idea anymore. I need something tangible to come from it. Like the time I woke up with the idea of snack cake stuck in my head. It didn’t take long before my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snack Cake came into fruition. Unlike that cake, these little hand-held treats took a bit more thought. All I knew was that “hand pie” was stuck in my head like glue and the idea wasn’t going anywhere until they were made....
