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 […]

Dark Chocolate Chaga Cookies (Keto & Paleo Friendly)

Dark Chocolate Chaga Cookies (Keto & Paleo Friendly)

I have a new favorite… I don’t know if it will stand the test of time against my Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies but the trend of this basic recipe made from collagen and cacao has been a chewy chocolate hero.  These are not super sweet… so […]

CBD Love Gummies!

CBD Love Gummies!

Alright my lovelies… this is my first ever GUEST POST!  This recipe is from my lovely friend Tatiana, whose skills in the kitchen are supreme.  We met in a kitchen!  We connect over many things but I found myself making breakfast with this amazing woman […]

Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies (Keto, Paleo)

Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies (Keto, Paleo)

I have to say… when I was a kid I really liked my mom’s cookies.  They were blue ribbon award winning oatmeal cookies and they were gorgeous.  But my favorite cookies were Double Chocolate Mint Chip ones she make on a whim once and then […]

Nootroopic Keto Hot Cocoa (Brain Mushrooms!)

Nootroopic Keto Hot Cocoa (Brain Mushrooms!)

People keep asking me for my keto hot cocoa “go to”… so here it is.  I probably make this several times per week because it is nutritious, has the ability to zap brain fog or the afternoon lull and it is super tasty!  I love […]

Cassava Almond Anise Biscotti

Cassava Almond Anise Biscotti

These are a long time favorite in our little family.  The original recipe is from a few renditions back and was given to me by the owners of a local Italian bistro that has since closed up shop.  I could never eat them myself… but […]

Dark Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream (Keto & Paleo)

Dark Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream (Keto & Paleo)

This is another adaptation of my mother’s keto ice cream genius.  She went to work to create a keto version of Chocolate Moose Tracks and after quite a few tries she nailed it!  I cannot do dairy so I adapted it for me and used […]

Apple Pie with Cassava Crust (Paleo options, No Sugar)

Apple Pie with Cassava Crust (Paleo options, No Sugar)

I was really pleased with the results of this pie.  It was tricky to be sure to make the cassava flour behave but in the end with my usual tricks it did just fine. It is an offshoot of my Einkorn Apple Pie, but it […]

Einkorn Apple Pie (No Sugar)

Einkorn Apple Pie (No Sugar)

Our beloved apple pie for the holiday season… without the sugar.  I have served this up at two holidays pitted against full sugar pies and no one can tell it’s sugar free… and often it is preferred. Feel free to sub the Purecane with Swerve, sucanut, […]

Sour Cream Einkorn Pie Crust

Sour Cream Einkorn Pie Crust

This recipe has evolved over the years from my mom’s pie crust recipe…. It is influenced by the Irish love of cream and the Scottish love of whiskey. The credit for that actually goes to one Cindy McGregor who once told me she put vodka […]
