The last batch of muffins I made literally lasted two days in my household. My husband ate 8+, I had one and one of our neighbors had one. Uneven distribution? Yep, I think so! 😉 It’s crazy how fast those little guys can go…and today, there was only one obvious solution to this problem. I

Paleo Berries ‘n’ Cream Ice-Cream

Let me start by saying that typically, ice-cream is not allowed on the Paleo Diet. As its name suggests, it has “cream”, and cream is dairy. Dairy is not Paleo, therefore bye-bye ice-cream for all of us. Sad day. Luckily, there are some wonderful Paleo approved ingredients out there than can help us in the

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

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, all that you can make with it (sandwiches, french toast, etc.) and how fun it is to eat (think all you can make with toast!). Bread makes me

My last post featured a pumpkin based recipe (Paleo Pumpkin-Spice Bread). Today’s recipe will also call for pumpkin; however, today’s treat will taste 100% different than yesterday’s treat. Lets just say it’ll be nuttier. Instead of using coconut as a base, you’ll use almonds. I love baking with almonds! It makes everything taste richer and
