Pumpkin Spice Muffin Mounds (gluten-free + paleo)
I tested this recipe a bunch of different ways to make sure it was absolutely perfect for you. Originally, I wanted to make coconut flour scones but no matter what I did, the flour just wouldn’t cooperate. The consistency was off. I’m sure it would have all come together had I used almond flour, but…
Caramel Apple Cupcakes (gluten-free + paleo)
Congratulations, Liz! You’re the winner of the Natural Vitality $60 gift card! Thank you all for participating :) I remember hearing this for the first time (while studying holistic nutrition at CSNN) and being pretty upset about it… It is impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs from the food you eat. No…
Grain-free Christmas: Butter Tarts and Cinnamon Stars
< I love hearing Kevin talk about his childhood in Germany, especially the memories he has of Christmas. The traditions his family created during the holidays are so different from my own. The Christmas markets that one could visit for hours, visits from Christkind, children being kept from seeing the Christmas tree until the very…
Vanilla Pear Muffins
I’m pretty sure I’ve become obsessed with muffins. It feels like I’ve been posting a gluten-free muffin recipe each and every week. Hmm… I supposed I have been. But wait, these muffins are just as good as the last and they’re grain-free too which is a bonus, right? Perhaps I’ve been drawn to create muffins…
Grain-free Lemonade Doughnuts
It’s Kevin’s (30th!) birthday tomorrow and while store-bought presents are nice, I wanted to come up with a special treat for him instead. To help inspire me in the kitchen and keep me on track; because I usually get distracted when I’m creating a recipe and end up with something completely different than what I’d…
Oil-free Carrot Cake Protein Bars
Kevin and I had such a great time camping this weekend. It’s exactly what we needed. There were many good eats to be had (including these high protein, gluten-free, homemade protein bars) naps, and long, long roads to venture down. We had planned to stay at the campsite until this morning, but decided to head…
Raspberry Linzer Cookies
I hope you enjoyed your weekend! The highlight of mine was meeting my sister at our parent’s house early yesterday morning to treat our Dad to a Father’s Day feast. I brought along a basket filled with ingredients for pancakes and sausage scramble, and Christina, my sister, brought her mad chopping skills. Boy can that…
Grain-free Banana Bread
The banana adventures continue, this time with classic banana bread… with a little twist. It’s grain-free, massively sugar-reduced and, if you ask me, better than the real thing. I still haven’t figured out how to make coconut flour recipes vegan. Every time I remove the eggs from the recipe, I’m left with a gooey mess…
Chunky Monkey Muffins
Kevin comes home tonight and as of this morning, I have three nanaimo bars saved in the freezer with his name on them. Now, the trick is going to be to keep it that way for the remainder of the day. Given my track record, I thought it would be in my best interest to…
Chai Spice Doughnuts with Almond Frosting
I’ve turned into a chai monster. Cold almond milk, chocolate protein cakes, hot rice, pancakes, porridge, muffins, doughnuts… all perfect opportunities to liven things up with a bit of chai spice, wouldn’t you say? It doesn’t end there. Since returning from India, I’ve gotten in the habit of adding generous amounts of chaat masala, cumin,…
