Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Twice baked? What does that mean? Is it a lot of work? Does it take hours to do? These might be some of the questions that pop into your head a after reading today’s recipe’s name. Totally normal. I’d be thinking the same thing too. Twice baked means just that. These sweet potatoes are first

Cashew Clusters

Cashew Clusters have become one of my husband’s favorite treats. I keep them in the freezer for him, and slowly, but surely, I see them disappear. He’ll eat one or two at a time, so nothing crazy either, but he likes to enjoy them after dinner along with a nice cup of coffee. He’s one

Cacao Protein Shake

2016 is here and it has arrived along with a plethora of resolutions. Everyone seems to have one, and it seems to me like most of these resolutions are either health or fitness oriented. I am not sure when the “New Year’s Resolution” tradition started, but I am sure glad it did; it is a

Plantain Boats with Spicy Beef

Two days ago I was at the produce section of Boise’s Whole Foods, and to my surprise, I came across a sign that advertised Ecuadorian plantains. (I posted a picture of this on my Instagram account — do you have Instagram? If so, follow me!) I was utterly excited, because I had just returned from

Crispy Purple Sweet Potatoes

If you talk to my friends, they’ll tell you that they’ve definitely had these Crispy Purple Sweet Potatoes served to them as a side dish when they come over for dinner in my home. Yup. That’s because these are my go-to side dish in wintertime and I am not shy about serving it over and

I don’t know if you’ve noticed by the types of recipes I share on my blog, but I LOVE baking Paleo breads and waffles. I am obsessed with baked goods. And “why?” you may ask. Well, the answer is simple: they are such a treat to have for breakfast, lunch, as a snack, or for

Best Ever Paleo Banana Bread

This banana bread right here is one of my biggest and latest obsessions. I’ll even go as far as saying that it’s the BEST ever paleo banana bread I have ever made (and tried). It has that perfect bread texture we all crave, it is beautifully moist, it is beyond satisfying, and it is dreamily sweet.

Mini Paleo Fudge Cups

Goodness me, these Mini Paleo Fudge Cups are something special. I have a thing for chocolate and I won’t deny it. 😉 Sometimes, I feel like my desire for chocolate is stronger than me…to the point where there is little to nothing I can do about stopping my mad cravings. When I get that chocolate-driven urge, I

RAW Raspberry Chia Paleo Cheesecake

To honor National Cheesecake Day I am sharing an all Paleo cheesecake recipe today! I think most of us secretly love cheesecake, but are afraid to have a piece. Whether it be for weight gain reasons, for dairy intolerance reasons, or for gluten intolerance reasons, we feel intimidated to enjoy a delicious, creamy, sweet piece all to ourselves. And that’s 100% understandable. The uncomfortable

Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes with Rosemary

My favorite dinners consist of nice juicy steaks and hearty side dishes. Give me that, and I melt. When we go out for dinner and I order this combination, I will not stop saying “this is so good” until the meal is over; my husband knows I tend to do this and knows how passionate

Simple Paleo Bread

My family loves bread, and I think this love started with my great grandma. Every day, my great grandma would eat freshly baked Ecuadorian bread; she had a piece for breakfast and a piece for her “light dinner” (which consisted of just “cafecito con pan” — coffee with bread). It was very cute to watch her eat her meals; she ate them

These No Bake Double Layer Brownies is one of the desserts I took to our Easter family get together this year. I promised I’d post it, and so here it is…in all of its chocolate-y glory. It’s incredibly rich, decadent and satisfying. One for the books for sure! These brownies do not require baking; the ingredients don’t need

These Paleo Zesty Orange Waffles are heavenly. They are nice and fluffy and rich, and unlike many waffles out there, very nutritious. They are made with a few paleo waffle staple ingredients, such as almonds, coconut and honey, but I also added another fun ingredient to the mix this time. Oranges! Adding orange zest and orange
