No-Corn Paleo Cornbread

Paleo Cornbread? But corn is not allowed on the Paleo Diet, so how does that work? Well, ma friends, that’s why I absolutely love baking substitutes and why I think there is a ton of power in learning how to be tricky in the kitchen (wink wink)! Let me introduce you to my No-Corn Paleo

No-Bean Spicy Chicken Paleo Chili

It’s fall, and that means chili season has arrived. Yipee. Is there anything better than a hot, hearty bowl of savory goodness? Nope. Don’t think there is. Lucky for me, my husband really loves soups, so he doesn’t complain when I serve chili bowl after chili bowl after chili bowl for dinner. And my mother-in-law

Sweet Raspberry Paleo Muffins

We’ve had raspberries galore in our home these last few weeks, because Whole Foods has had raspberries on sale for a long time now, so naturally, I’ve been adding them to my shopping cart every single time I step foot over there (which is like every other day, #foodbloggerprobs). I’ve had to get creative with how I

Paleo Plantain Waffles

One of my favorite ingredients to use when baking breads, muffins, pancakes, waffles and cakes is one that doesn’t come to mind right away when thinking about baking, but is one that I personally love because I think it plays a big role in the outcome of baked goods. Do you guys have an idea of

Oven Roasted Butternut Squash with Brussels Sprouts

I’ve a been a fan of brussels sprouts for about ten years now. We didn’t eat them in Ecuador growing up, so I tried them for the very first time on my first year of college during Thanksgiving in 2005. I didn’t know what to expect when I took my first bite, but I was

Dirty Chai Paleo Muffins with Cinnamon Sugar Whipped Cream

I have a dirty chai latte lover at home. And I love it. This man is a total sucker for crafted coffee beverages, those that are a bit sweet and a bit spicy (which, coincidentally, is his wife’s personality description). This guy I am talking about is, of course, my hubby and he’ll drink these dirty

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen pictures that showcase Nikki’s Coconut Butters products. I am seriously obsessed with her coconut butters. Truly, I am. I eat those butters by the spoonful, eat them along with fruit (mostly bananas and berries), or use them as a key ingredient on some of my Paleo dessert recipes. A few

Let’s talk about these Deconstructed Cheesecake Bites for a second. I am in love with them. They are so darn cute. They’re the perfect size for those days when all we want is one little bite. Not the whole piece. Not even a half of a piece. Just one perfectly satisfying, little bite. What I love about

I’m going to let you in on a little health secret of mine…my morning routine. When I tell you what I do, you may think it’s interesting (and you may want to do it too)…or you may think it’s totally weird and borderline whacky. Could go either way. But regardless of opinions, I’m going to

Carrot Cake Cheesecake

This is no regular carrot cake recipe. This is a super special carrot cake recipe for two reasons: one, it has CHEESECAKE layers (whaaaaa?), and two, it was developed for a friend’s 30th birthday celebration (his very favorite dessert is carrot cake and his wifey wanted me to surprise him with a Paleo version of it

What we eat and the timing of when we eat is huge for these type of things; our muscles need constant fuel to grow and recover, and they are

Paleo Turkey Meatloaf

I haven’t made meatloaf in a loooong time — in fact, I don’t think I’ve had a bite of meatloaf in at least a 2 years. It’s one of those things where you know its traditional recipe has gluten, so you just don’t think about it as a choice for dinner. However, for some strange reason both my husband and
