Everything Christmas: Last Minute Crafts + Recipes
I couldn’t go without sharing some of the festive crafts and recipes that I’ve been collecting over the past few months. That, and we got to the airport way too early this morning which has left me with plenty of time to dream of Christmas feasts and crafting parties. Is there such a thing as…
Crock-Pot Apple Crumble Breakfast Pudding
Shortly after I started food journaling, I learned that my body does much better on fats and proteins than carbohydrates like grains and legumes. After making this realization, I was introduced; err more like fell, into a primal/paleo eating style. 4 days into it, I began missing big warm bowls of oatmeal. 8 days into…
Coconut Almond Bark (no sugar added)
I wish I would have come up with this recipe sooner. Like 3 years sooner. If you like coconut, you’re going to LOVE this bark. If you don’t like coconut, I suggest you make a batch of chai spice roasted almonds and forget this post ever existed. Sure, you could make these for people as…
Chai Spice Roasted Almonds with Homemade Chai Spice Mix
I can’t seem to eat enough almonds lately. Crushed, roasted, raw, butter, it doesn’t matter. I’ll take it all. Maybe it’s the manganese, vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, iron, or plant based protein that my body is so attracted to. Whatever the case, I’ve been trying to get my paws on as much of it as…
Eggnog Smoothie with 1 Minute Vanilla Whip
Oh my nog. It doesn’t get better than this. Creamy deliciousness topped with a high protein sweet whip… zomg take me away. I did two things with my leftover homemade eggnog – pancakes and a smoothie. And when all was said and done, I wish I had just made two smoothies and been done with…
Dairy-free Eggnog
I spent the weekend singing along to Christmas music as I flitted around my kitchen creating Christmas treats for…. myself. Ya, I dance in my kitchen and I’m proud of it. I’d like to think that it sufficiently revved up my appetite for a nice full cup of homemade eggnog… or two. But who’s counting,…
Paleo Picadillo Casserole + How to Peel and Roast Butternut Squash
No food is more amazing than roasted butternut squash. And no chocolate cake will change my mind on this. If roasted correctly, the chunks get these amazing caramelized bottoms. I can’t promise I didn’t peel off some of them before mashing the squash for the recipe I’m about to share with you. There are worse…
Grain-free Vanilla Berry Protein Cake
We’ve feasted on microwave cakes, pancakes, and coconut sugar this week. So I just figured we’d keep the sweet going with one of my favorite go-to recipes that I’ve been enjoying as of late… Number one reason why I love it? They’re sugar-free! And that’s always a bonus, right? Since preparing my first protein cake…
Maple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes with Glazed Apples
Kevin and I love Christmas. Each year around this time, we begin our gingerbread house building plans, decorate the tree, and we even go as far as planning exactly what we’ll make together for breakfast on Christmas morning. When you read together, instead read – Kevin playing with the dogs while I make breakfast. Team…
Paleo Chocolate Fudge + Vanilla Bean Mug Cakes
Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I think my life has become more creative as a result of spending at least 20 minutes a day on the site. I have my eye on fork magnets, flower eggs, and perhaps a bit too many wedding ideas for a girl who’s not even engaged… yet. But…
