Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (The Best I Ever Had)

Zucchini is the secret hidden ingredient that you slip into the muffins and then have your kids guess at. Yes, that’s right, you are eating your vegetables. You cannot taste them at all. Not even a little bit. For the times during the summer when zucchini is in abundance, I will definitely be making more…

Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie

To make the smoothie, you simply combine everything together in the blender except the chocolate chips. For the chocolate chips I used a bar of dark chocolate and crumbled it up with a mortar and pestle to make the ‘chips,’ mainly because buying a bar of chocolate is much easier than finding mini dark chocolate…

Paleo Coconut Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

In developing Paleo recipes, I have found that my favorite recipes usually have to do with baking. I think I’ve become a baker at heart, and love to make sweet and healthy combinations to share with others. Coconut flour still baffles me though. Half a cup of flour for all of these cupcakes? Where does…

Coconut Macaroons with Chocolate and Pistachio

Coconut provides a lot of fiber and healthy fats to the macaroons, and they are lightly sweetened with honey. They are crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. The inside almost tastes like the inside of an Almond Joy bar. I wanted to not only dip them in chocolate (my favorite…

Paleo Chocolate Cookies (I Can’t Get Enough of These)

My parents seem to opt for all of the cookie-sharing possibilities. There’s cookie exchanges at work, the cookie walk at church, and then they make some for when the kids come home, of course. That’s a lot of cookies, and baking. But these days, there are a lot of gluten-sensitivities and allergies to worry about…

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cake Cookies

These pumpkin cookies are more of a cake consistency than that of regular dough. In fact, perhaps their light and fluffy texture is a disadvantage of the cookies, because they seem to disappear. My batch did not last long; almost all of the cookies vanished in the first day. It seems that I have not…

How to Make a Paleo Banana Chocolate Shake

This recipe can be ready in 5 minutes. How’s that for a quick pick-me-up? And you can easily double or even triple it to serve more. I highly recommend using frozen bananas (or berries, if you want to use those instead) instead of ice, because ice further dilutes the flavor. When adding water to the…

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (Grain-Free)

This recipe is perfect for those chilly mornings when you can’t seem to drag yourself out from under your blankets. What usually gets me out of bed is the promise of a warm breakfast, and heating one of these up is the perfect way to start your day without much effort. If you bake a…

How to Make Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake

This recipe is perfect for one person, which means that you won’t have an entire chocolate cake begging you to eat it for the rest of the week. Be warned though, this is so simple to make that you may just want to start making it every day. This cake is perfect as-is but leaves…
