Carrot Cake (Keto & Paleo)

Carrot Cake (Keto & Paleo)

I recently had my 40th Birthday.  I don’t feel particularly old… but I have been very contemplative this month.  Holding my life before God and thinking about family, prayer, habits, values & work amongst other things.  As some dear friends are also reaching 40 this

Nootropic Chai Ice Cream (Keto & Paleo)

Nootropic Chai Ice Cream (Keto & Paleo)

I will sometimes have a cup of chai in the afternoon as a no-coffee pick me up but also enjoy it in my hemp heart porridge, ice cream, cookies, smoothies and coconut yogurt. This Four Sigmatic Blend has immune boosting and cancer fighting mushrooms and is great for washing away brain fog.  So… why not boost everything?  Nootropics can get spendy but you get what you pay for.  These are potent and extremely high quality.

I have been dreaming about enhancing my Paleo Vanilla Ice Cream with it of late so I gave it a go.

This is best when made with an ice cream maker like this one or like my Kitchen Aid Bowl Attachment but you can just remove the dish from the freezer every twenty minutes to give it a stir, or pour it into silicone popsicle molds.

I hope you enjoy it!

Paleo Cream of Mushroom Soup

Paleo Cream of Mushroom Soup

This is a great soup for recipes or as a standalone.  I like it as is… but it is more attractive with a garnish or a sauce.  One day I’ll update this with a prettier photo but for now, the basics.  I love mushrooms, personally,
