  • Paleo Butter Biscuits (that melt in your mouth)

    Paleo Butter Biscuits (that melt in your mouth)

    (Note: This post may contain affiliate links. Read more about them here.) Soft, fluffy, flaky, with just a hint of crunch on the edges. That, my friends, is a perfect biscuit. And making a grain-free biscuit that meet all of those criteria is a ridiculous attempt and only those who are crazy should try. I…

  • Paleo Flaxseed Flat Bread

    Paleo Flaxseed Flat Bread

    I have a serious problem, and I’m not quite sure how to cure myself. You see, I’m rather good at making messes. Especially kitchen messes. I will bake up a storm and use every pot, pan, bowl, and fork in the house in less than 24 hours. Believe me. I’m a pro. But that’s not…

    (Note: This post may contain affiliate or product links. Read more about them here.) About a year ago I discovered this cupcake recipe, and I haven’t been the same since.

    Paleo Ginger Snaps

    Can you keep a secret? I made cookies for breakfast this morning! I really couldn’t help myself. I mean, cookies for breakfast! Who could? Especially when these cookies are healthier than any breakfast cereal out there. Guaranteed. They are vegan, paleo, and sugar-free! I found these delicious paleo ginger snap cookies on The Iron You a…

  • Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I cannot remember the first time I made a chocolate chip cookie. I know that before I made them, we rarely ever had homemade cookies. There is no engraved memory of me picking up a bag of chocolate chips and saying, Mom! Can I bake some cookies? There is no memory of me carefully following…
