Crunchy Pumpkin B’Nice CreamSo…I have missed ice cream cones. Store bought gluten-free cones still contain too much sugar for my liking…so, I had resigned myself to be content in my “cone-less” state. One day, however, I was looking in my pantry, and I spied some thin organic rice cakes. These got me thinking. What would it be like to pile banana ice cream on top of one of the squares?? (if you have no idea what banana ice cream or…

Paleo “Pup” DogsPlaying around with @paleoglutenfreeats’s awesome 5 minute fluffy flourless paleo hamburger buns…this time wrapping dough around grilled vegan sausages! Choose any vegan sausage, grill it up, then roll it out to be big enough to wrap sausage. Wrap and bake as directed in original recipe. Using cassava flour (like from @anthonysgoods), makes these buns gluten free and paleo friendly. Recipe is definitely hubby and kid approved! Enjoy! And, thanks again @paleoglutenfreeats!Original recipe found here: https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/5-minute-fluffy-flourless-paleo-hamburger-buns/ …for more recipes…

GF Vegan Pumpkin SconesAfter a few recent visits to local coffee houses, I found the scones and pastries behind the glass calling to me. I resisted…however, I immediately took my cravings to my kitchen in the pursuit of a clean-eats pumpkin scone. Not only did I want it GF and vegan, but I also wanted to use readily available products and uncomplicated prep. After meeting these conditions…tinkering in the kitchen…and testing a batch…I now have to honestly say…my scone cravings…

Matcha Cacao BallsThis is a slight twist of my “Choco-Chews" from awhile back…this time using cacao nibs. Nibs offer fiber and iron and the bitterness pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the dates. Added plant based protein to support muscles and rolled in matcha for an antioxidant and metabolism boost. Combine these superfoods, and you’d be hard pressed to find a trick in this treat! Ingredients5 pitted dates1/4 cup cacao nibs1 scoop vanilla pea based protein powder (like @Nuzest_usa Smooth…

Peanut Butter Coconut Milk YogurtSo, this was my second trial of yogurt this week. For this one, I followed @minimalistbaker’s two ingredient coconut milk yogurt recipe.

After chilling in the refrigerator, I then put yogurt it in my greek yogurt strainer, but you could use cheesecloth to…

Grape ReductionA few weeks ago, a friend and I visited a local Farmer’s Market where we were introduced to a wonderful all natural sweetener made from grapes. As a clean eater who avoids refined sugars, I was intrigued and bought a bottle. I have found it’s flavor to be a delightful addition to many of my yummy eats. As often as I can, I try to eat organic for the produce in the “dirty dozen”…and grapes happen to be in…
