Happy Friday, Friends!🎉
My very first birthday cake, or I should say the very first cake I have memory of, was a beautiful and traditional chocolate frosted 2 layer yellow cake. More than likely, of the Duncan Hines variety. It was so delicious looking, that I smashed my 4 year old hand right though it! …

We’ve got a real holiday treat for you today!🍒
So I know everyone says this– but this truly is the best cake I have ever had. And believe me, I’ve had A LOT of cake. What we have here are four rich cherry chocolate layers covered in a tart cranberry glaze and topped with a dreamy “buttercream” frosting. It’s moist, refined, decadent, and that kind of delicious that has you savoring each + every bite. …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake
Grain-Free + Naturally Sweetened, Dairy-Free Option
Three cheers for Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake! 🎉🎉🎉
This recipe has me back in love with Cheesecake. Believe it or not, long ago, it was one of my least favorite desserts. That and crème brûlée. (I know, what kind of person doesn’t like crème brûlée??!) Anyway, I think it was the idea of cheesecake that initially turned me off. When I was first presented with…

Grain-Free Churros
Grain-Free Churros (vegan, naturally sweetened)💕
As a rule, I generally try to steer clear of fried foods. It’s the whole, I love my heart and need it to work, kind of thing. But the churro, my friends, is a definite exception to this rule. It’s a once in a while treat that when made, receives my complete and utter devotion. It’s just too delicious– and absolutely worth the splurge. And as they say, everything in moderation, right??😊…

Paleo Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies
Paleo Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies 💕
Our Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are now Naturally Sweetened! 🎉
I must admit, I was initially a little hesitant to leave the brown sugar out of the recipe—I love the color and rich flavor it imparts to cookies and blondies. But then it occurred to me that molasses is the key to brown sugar and it would certainly go together well with honey the way it does with sugar—problem solved!…
Chocolate Grand Marnier Cupcakes
*Naturally sweetened, grain-free + dairy-free.
Grand Marnier does wonderful things to chocolate. Or maybe it’s the chocolate that does great things to Grand Marnier. Either way, it’s a brilliant pairing!🍊 Orange and chocolate in general are so lovely together— do you remember Terry’s Milk Chocolate Oranges? They would come beautifully wrapped in bright orange foil and were cleverly cut into segments so you could get the full orange eating experience? (Except far more caloric, of course).😋 Well, these cupcakes embody that same rich flavor but with a little bite from the alcohol….

Paleo Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Hooray for Sweet Potato Flour!😍
And does it ever make for delicious cookies, I can’t even tell you about the rich, sweet flavor it imparts, you absolutely have to try it for yourself!
These are my husband’s favorite cookies and are a staple in our home. It takes just a few minutes to get the dough together and another 10-15 minutes in the oven–super duper simple. And I think we both like the idea of enjoying a cookie with such healthy ingredients like almond flour, sweet potato flour and honey. …

Paleo Hostess-Style Cupcakes
Paleo Hostess-Style Cupcakes
Happy February, everyone!
I’m so excited about these cupcakes! They truly taste like a gourmet version of the original Hostess variety. My main goal here, (aside from flavor + texture of course), was to create a recipe that was as close to 100% Paleo as possible–the filling, ganache and the cupcake itself. The greatest challenge in this was coming up with a filling that was both Paleo and delicious. (No small feat!!) 😉 Ultimately, I found that the trick was to add a bit of egg white powder into the mix– this simple addition transformed it into a deliciously light and fluffy frosting. (I want to mention that for the shortening, we used Spectrum Organic All Vegetable Shortening (palm oil), which is sustainably made. Also, for those strictly adhering to the Paleo diet or have an allergy to soy, the unsweetened Baker’s Chocolate does contain a very small amount of soy lecithin. I normally love to use Enjoy Life Chocolate as theirs does not contain soy, however, it does contain cane sugar and this recipe is sweetened only with honey).
