I must preface this with the statement that while these cookies are technically paleo deliciousness… one must try not to eat the entire batch. You will want too. Consider yourself warned. Having a wheat intolerance, I pretty much avoid anything with wheat in it… or else I’ll feel pretty sick. Thank you GMOs. One of the hardest things…

PALEO Pumpkin Cake with Maple Vanilla Frosting (grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free)
This is the one. A cake and a frosting recipe that I am beyond satisfied with. Here’s the deal, it’s challenging and time-consuming to sort through the multitude of ‘paleo’ cakes and frosting recipes on the internet. They either have tons of butter in them, or the pictures look great but the actual cake tastes…
Paleo Granola!
My friend gave me this recipe from paleotable.com over the summer, because a bunch of us were trying to eat ‘paleo’ and I was getting so sick of eggs and meat for breakfast. Most other breakfast options are wheat and dairy, but not this granola. It beats almost every other I’ve tried, and it’s perfect…
Chocolate Vegan Ice Cream
Paleo, vegan, healthy ice cream? Yup, it’s possible- Thanks to this delicious recipe that my friend, Cindi Mitchell, shared with me! This ‘ice cream’ is loaded with potassium, protein and vitamins, doesn’t have any sugar or dairy, and it tastes just like chocolate ice cream. On those days when you just want a sweet dessert… this will surely satisfy your craving. Before…
Sunflower Coconut Balls
Yup. Paleo protein balls of coconut and sunflower goodness. That’s all I have to say. Now, go make some: Ingredients: 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/3 cup sunflower butter 1/2 cup shredded coconut (and some extra to roll the balls in) 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate (I used dark choc. chips) 2 tbsp honey (maple syrup…
BAM! (Paleo Gluten Free Banana Apple Muffins)
Gluten free, sugar-free, fake sugar-free, grain free… muffins that taste GOOD. Sidebar: I was at Panera the other day and saw that my favorite the ‘pumpkin muffin’ is 590 calories. That’s A LOT of gym time. This is what happens when there is 2.5 feet of blizzard snow outside waiting to be shoveled, I put…
Eating to Starve Cancer?
Did you know you can essentially starve cancer cells? True story. Watch this amazing talk from TED (below). If you don’t have time, I’ll give you the cliff note version. Our body can regulate capillary growth by growing capillaries to heal injures or pruning them back when they are not needed. Abnormal angiogenesis is at the…
Gluten Free BB Brownies
Sounds disgusting, but I promise you these brownies actually taste like chocolate. You cannot even detect the slightest hint of black bean AND the best part is that it’s practically all healthy for you. When I tell people about these brownies, they ask “what’s the point? Why not just have a brownie if you want…

What’s Up Choc?! (Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies)
What’s Up Choc?! Special thanks to Heidi Johnson for this delicious recipe packed with vitamin A! Heidi’s idea of adding carrots instead of oil is ingenious. Typically, applesauce replaces the oil to make “healthier” recipes, however carrots contain many more nutrients, and their taste is undetectable in these cookies which will make it a favorite with kids!…
