Maple Bacon Donuts (Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Paleo)

  You guys, I bought a donut pan! I found it at T.J. Maxx for like five bucks, so it basically jumped in my cart and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Now we can have donuts together every day! I want to know who came up with the maple bacon combo first. I would […]

Pumpkin Streusel Muffins (Paleo, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free)

  It’s been a rainy morning here in GA today. Even the clouds know it’s a Monday. Though it’s pretty sad-looking outside, the rain has not deterred us from having a lovely morning so far. I am still on my happy-husband-high from a weekend away (at Chateau Elan, ooh la la!) and I will ride […]

Quick Chocolate Avocado Pudding with Coconut Topping

  Raise your hand if you ate pudding cups when you were a kid. (Hand raised.) Raise your hand if you ate pudding cups when you were in college. (Hand raised- no shame.) Raise your hand if you still eat pudding cups as an adult? (I wish. Where do I find refined-sugar free, corn syrup-free, […]

Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites

Let me take you back for a second- imagine it’s Halloween in the early 90s. I’m probably dressed as a black cat (it was my thing). I come home with a pillowcase full of candy and start my sorting ritual with my mom. I would hoard the peanut butter cups and Hershey bars, and I […]

Chocolate Bacon Truffles (with a Dairy-Free option)

My darlings, I am so glad to bring this post to you. All of that broken computer nonsense is over and done- how lucky and thankful I am to have a husband who can fix anything (thank you for all your help, too, YouTube- couldn’t have done it without you). And what better way to greet […]

Pumpkin and Gingersnap Yogurt Parfait (gluten-free)

It’s Thanksgiving week- I couldn’t leave you hanging without something yummy to look at! Forget pies and turkeys and sides and all of that nonsense- you probably already have your big day game plan in place. I wanted to give you something to eat in the days before (or after) Turkey Day. Chances are, you […]

Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins [with no refined sugar]

I don’t eat much store-bought candy these days, but when Halloween rolls around, I find myself eyeballing those Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins. I know it’s basically the same as a peanut butter cup, but for some reason, the pumpkin always tasted better to me. Maybe a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio? Maybe the eye-catching […]

Sweet Cannoli Fruit Dip

 Looking for something to do with that homemade ricotta? Who am I kidding? None of you have made any ricotta since Monday. (If you have, I salute you and we are destined to be BFFs.) I must be the only crazy person with a fridge full of raw milk and an interest in cheese making. […]

Almost Paleo Pumpkin Squares with Maple Walnut Frosting [Grain/Refined Sugar Free]

I know Paleo is definitely a thing, but is ‘Almost Paleo’ a thing? Well, I’m making it a thing. These little squares are going to make your paleo-loving tummies very happy, with or without the frosting. ‘Cause let’s face it, the frosting is the problem here. Apparently those old cave people didn’t do cream cheese […]

Honey Nut Butter Cookies

What’s up!? The toddlers have amazed me by sleeping for TWO HOURS so here I am- bringing you some cookies. I wish I could bring them to you personally, but the inmates are running the asylum around here and they just won’t let me out! I’m surprised at how much I’ve been in the kitchen […]
