I just made these lovely little treats. Aren’t they super cute? They remind me of an egg (must be because Easter's in the air)…only they're a lot prettier than an egg. ;) These are truly a fantastic Easter dessert to make for the family. They are fun to eat, cute looking, sweet, nutty and very nutritious! The perfect combination if you ask me. They're also super easy to make. Go on. Give 'em a try!   Tools You’ll Need:        Baking sheet        Parchment paper        Read more [...]

Aren’t snacks on-the-go ideal? I love having a quick nutritious treat ready to go for when I find myself in a hurry. It is so great to have something already prepared that won’t spill, wont smell, wont be weird to pull out while in meetings, and that will just hit the spot perfectly. I highly dislike being hungry; it actually makes me very grumpy, which I dislike even more! You don’t ever want to be around me when my blood sugar levels go down…I might unleash the beast! ;) Am I exaggerating? Read more [...]

Do Paleo people feel the need to have bread once in a while? YES. Goodness, yes! At least I do for sure. I love bread. Love its texture, love all that you can make with it (sandwiches, french toast, etc.) and I especially love how fun it is to eat it (its ok, you can call me weird). Bread makes me feel all sorts of happy. Can you tell I have a thing for it? Because of this strong love I have for bread, I am dedicating the next two blog posts solely to it. These recipes wont be the savory kind, Read more [...]

Hi lovely Paleo people! It’s been a while and I have missed you. ;) I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I am sorry I didn’t post this recipe a bit sooner (as it would’ve been a perfect way to finish a romantic date), but hey, better late than never right? You can still prepare this for someone special (just because you love them), for a birthday party, a dinner party or any special occasion. So let me tell you about our Valentine’s Day… We (hubby and me) enjoyed our Read more [...]

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold." Psalm 46:1-3,7   “God I trust You.” These are words I kept repeating to myself over and over again last Friday night. These brought strength and peace Read more [...]

Before I show you how to make Chocolate Chip n' Macadamia Nut Cookies, I have exciting news! My husband and I are getting a new apartment in the heart of downtown Boise! And let me tell you, it is SO COOL! We just rented our house (rent started yesterday) and are now we are temporarily living at my in-laws' guest house (so kind of them!) until our new apartment is ready to be moved in. We are thrilled and cannot wait to get all settled in. This means, Amazing Paleo will now have a new kitchen! Read more [...]

* Guest Blogger: Bonnie Lewis, from Bonnie the Baker :) At what point in our lives do we go from having opinions to have convictions?  An old pastor of mine once said that as he got older, his list of convictions got shorter and his list of opinions got longer.  I guess this means that as he learned more and more he allowed his mind to be changed, and things that he once felt very rigid about became a part of a category in which he held his thoughts loosely.  On the other hand, his list of convictions Read more [...]

  I love Christmas time. I think a big reason is because people are happier and kinder than ever during this time, and to me that is a wonderful thing. But it doesn’t stop there…it’s also a time where warm and fuzzy Christmas songs are being played on the radio non-stop, where beautiful Christmas lights shine bright all around the city, where people go all out decorating the inside and outside of their homes, and where having treats at any given time of the day is totally acceptable ;). Since Read more [...]

Here it is. The Thanksgiving dinner signature dessert. Pumpkin pie. A little piece of heaven everyone looks forward to during this time of year. I am very excited and proud of this treat; I am confident you all will enjoy it as much as my husband, friends and I have. We've eaten it slowly and carefully to fully savor every single bite. I've even served it with our tiny little espresso spoons, that way puny bites are guaranteed ;). Crazy much?! Nah...just crazy about this pie. Thanksgiving Read more [...]

I adore all things pumpkin and all things sweet during the fall. When I combine the two, it feels like my mouth is having a party. I find so much comfort in knowing cold and gloomy weather can be dealt with a simple treat. That’s all it takes for me, a yummy food item to take my mind off of a cruel Mother Nature move. They call comfort foods “comfort” for a reason, right? And you know what else I find great? To be able to prepare these treats on my own, on the spot, without having the Read more [...]
