Paleo Cranberry Chia Cups

The weekend has once again come and gone. No surprise there. It happens every single week, and every single week I am surprised how quickly the weekend flies by. The snow from last week still hasn’t melted leaving me feeling trapped indoors.

Paleo Chocolate Raspberry Jellies

I have to say it. I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I have too many “favorite” holidays, and Valentines simply doesn’t make the cut. For me there is too much hype. Too much pressure for it to be an amazing day.

Paleo Dark Chocolate Cherry Bites

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Mine was full of family, food and festivities. Okay I just threw in that last one to keep with the trend. It really should be family, food and naps. I don’t know why but whenever my family gets together 2PM becomes nap time.

Paleo Apple Butter Pecan Pie

So I posted this photo on my Instagram before Thanksgiving promising the share the recipe, and then I completely forgot to actually share it. I really wanted to make a pecan pie for Thanksgiving even though I have never really been a fan.

Paleo Double Chocolate Pumpkin Mug Cake

I wish I never learned to make a mug cake. Since I stumbled upon PaleOMG’s mug cake recipe a couple weeks ago, I’ve had to exhibit extreme self-control not to make one every day.

No Bake Paleo Pumpkin Cookies

Yeah more pumpkin! This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my friend in Orange County. I haven’t been to a pumpkin patch in years, and it was so much fun! Pumpkins as far as the eye can see! After an hour of walking around, we both settled on a couple of pumpkins.

Raw Red Currant Jam

Ok so I got the pumpkin out of my system. Well kind of. I have more recipes to come. Those can wait until later, or I might have to change my blog’s name to pumpkin and paleo. Just kidding.

Paleo Apple Pie Cheesecake Tartlets

This past weekend, I had a crazy movie binge. I went to my local Redbox and seriously stocked up. I watched Now You See Me, 42, Mud and rewatched Thor. I love Chris Hemsworth. Those eyes. Do you ever have weekends where you feel like doing nothing?

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

Two desserts in three days! Well my sweet tooth has struck again, and I am struggling to put it back in its box. I completely forgot to mention I went to Danielle from Against All Grain’s cooking demo and book signing this past weekend.

Paleo Watermelon Granita

Summer is not over yet! It isn’t officially fall until September 22. While fall is probably my favorite season, I am savoring the last of summer and trying to stretch it as far as it will go. Fall recipes are popping up everywhere, but I’m still in the summer mindset.

Paleo Mocha Chip Pancakes with Espresso Syrup

I go in waves of being a morning person. Sometimes I will pop out of bed at 7-7:30 bright eyed and ready for the day. Then there are days when I can barely crawl out of bed by 9AM. To get by I rely on coffee. I’m a coffee addict. Maybe coffee isn’t the best solution, but I usually keep it to one cup a day.

Paleo Rainer Cherry and Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

One of my favorite former treats was ice cream. I used to justify eating a whole pint because it was “low fat.” I would eat a pint for dinner without a second thought. It was bad. After making my blackberry rosewater ice cream, I couldn’t wait to make another variety!

Mini Paleo Key Lime Tarts

I have mentioned I am a recovering sugar addict, and I am not kidding. I crave sweets pretty much 24/7. As I have slowly added treats back into my diet, I was excited to try inventive recipes. Growing up my mom made a fantastic key lime pie.

Paleo Dark Chocolate Salted Almond Bites

So this week I had an intense chocolate craving and needed a fix asap. Normally I have an apple on hand to help with my sugar addiction. Unfortunately I had just ran out. There is a bakery a block from my apartment, and it was very tempting to go pick up a delicious brownie.

Paleo Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream

I miss the ice cream maker. While I don’t need gallons upon gallons of Paleo ice cream for myself, I loved coming up with and trying new flavor combinations! This combo was inspired by my sister’s love of the flavor rosewater, and the fact blackberries are currently in season.
