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 […]

Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream (Paleo & Keto)

Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream (Paleo & Keto)

I have been working at a vanilla ice cream for quite some time, but not as long as my mother has.  She can produce keto ice creams that fool my children AND my husband… and that my friends, is a challenging task!  I have adapted […]

Black Tahini Butterscotch Cookies (Keto)

Black Tahini Butterscotch Cookies (Keto)

I have been driving all over town lately looking for the new Lily’s Pumpkin Spice Baking Chips.  Several stores listed them as in stock but upon arrival, alas they were not.  Oh well.  My dream of black pumpkin spice cookies for the moment is not […]

Dark Chocolate Keto Brownies

Dark Chocolate Keto Brownies

This recipe is basically my dark chocolate espresso cookies, but poured into a brownie pan.  People kept asking though so I thought I’d best get it up here as it’s own thing.  The espresso is optional, the seed butter can be swapped out with any […]

Dark Chocolate Espresso Cookies

Dark Chocolate Espresso Cookies

This recipe has been a long, long, long time coming.  My favorite cookie growing up was one my mom made… it was double dark chocolate and about did my head in.  I stopped being able to cope with sugar when I was in my late […]

Coconut Kefir Yogurt

Coconut Kefir Yogurt

This is an everyday staple for me.  It is gloriously delicious (if you like coconut) and smooth and thick as greek yogurt.  I use milk kefir grains to culture coconut milk (always BPA free, either Aroy-D or Whole Foods 365 as they work best).  It […]

Keto Chocolate Stout Cake (Flourless & Gluten-Free)

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day!  What could be better than a Guinness?  Well, when you’re keto, maybe a slice of keto chocolate stout cake. This cake was first introduced to me in Scotland and served up by a lanky Swedish man. I’m fairly […]

Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies (keto, paleo, vegan)

Alright my friends.  This is a recipe that I have posted before but it has undergone a subtle but very important change.  If I’m honest I was literally terrified to post it at first because I have imagined in my loopy introverted world that someone […]
