My husband sent me roses yesterday, sweet man. It was a very late Valentines (we were on vacation in New Zealand) but it was lovely anyway. So I got in the spirit of things and made these really easy and decadent chocolate strawberry treats. Definitely not Whole 30-friendly or recommended for every day eating but […]

Paleo Tapioca Crepes (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
If you are doing Whole30, on a low-carb diet or have issues with classifying Tapioca/cassava as Paleo or “Paleofying junk food” in general – you can stop reading. This particular recipe will not be aligned to your current diet. Tapioca is a “clean” starch to use for Paleo/Primal. It doesn’t have much in terms of […]

Crunchy Mama’s Hot Chocolate (Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Happy National Hot Chocolate Day! I’m sitting here defending my mug of rich, creamy Paleo-friendly hot chocolate from my toddler, it’s a tough life. This tastes like liquid chocolate goodness. I think my version of heaven would have this stuff running in streams and fountains. Start with some full cream coconut milk brought to […]

Crunchy Mama’s Coconut Bread Bites (Paleo, Gluten Free)
I rarely jump for joy these days. Mostly, this is due to me being 27 weeks pregnant so I am carrying a lot of weight up front. Today this little baking experiment did make me do a little jump (and without triggering an earthquake alert at the USGS either). It may be my favorite […]

3 Ingredient Yummy Tropical Shake (Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Since going Paleo, my Starbucks card has been collecting dust in my wallet. I don’t really drink coffee but I used to drink the Coconut Creme and Strawberry Creme. I don’t even want to think about all the sugar and chemicals that probably went into those but here is my own tropical shake recipe – […]

Crunchy Mama’s Coconut Flour Honey Biscuits (Paleo, Gluten Free)
I have been researching a lot of recipes for Paleo biscuits and didn’t really LOVE any of them – too much almond flour, too many egg whites or no butter. I feel like biscuits need to have butter. In saying that, if you’re dairy-free, this recipe will work just fine if you substitute coconut oil […]

Just Two Vanilla Cupcakes (Paleo, Gluten-Free)
That’s right, this recipe makes exactly two Vanilla cupcakes that are gluten-free and processed-sugar-free. I did use dairy in this one and will start working on a dairy-free version but I am really excited that this worked for me the first time. I have baked with many different kinds of Paleo sweeteners. My favorite so […]

Paleo Cornbread
Corn has been one of the hardest things for me to give up since going Paleo. I could sit and eat half a dozen corn cobs. And I LOVED cornbread. Does such a thing as Paleo cornbread exist? On a whim, I decided to run a Google search for Paleo-friendly cornbread recipes and found this […]
