I love finding and eating a great donut. Eating paleo has stopped me from getting my hands on a fluffy, fried donut, but tonight I tried a different approach: baked cake donuts. Inspired by coffee cake, these donuts (while not 100% paleo because of the sour cream), are sweet and moist and filled that donut craving I had. Continued…

One of my favorite flavors for ice cream is brown sugar banana with little chocolate chips. As this hot summer continues, this ice cream flavor inspired some muffins that I’m so excited to share! Continued…

With weeks like this one with highs in California hitting the 90s, I was looking for something easy and refreshing to bake. The lemons at the store this week struck me as just that and I decided to whip up these lemon muffins. Easy, light & refreshing! Continued…

I’m about 4 months into my first pregnancy and all I seem to crave are salty snacks. I created this loaf in the hopes of curbing some of those cravings. I hope even those who aren’t pregnant will enjoy this tasty bread. Continued…

This weekend I decided to try something a little different. I’m not a huge fan of carrot cake, but my husband loves it, so I used his The Wild Diet cookbook and modified the carrot cake recipe. I think it worked out well since he cut himself a fair amount of the cake before I even got a photo. Continued…

I’m back! I’m sorry for being MIA. My husband and I have been traveling and eating our way through Japan. We are back and just in time for my favorite season!

I get oh so excited when May roles around and once again it is stone fruit season! Peaches are one of my favorite things to bake with and I have seen the first few fresh peaches popping up in our local fruit market and grabbed a few. So below, I’m sharing a fresh twist on baking with peaches: peach cobbler muffins. Continued…

This weekend I decided to venture out of the house with friends on a strawberry picking adventure. After a fun day of picking strawberries, I made it home with a large container of strawberries. I decided what goes better with strawberries than chocolate. Here is a fun way to incorporate the two flavors in a bite sized punch. Continued…

Although I’m not usually a fan of caramel, my husband is. So, on a recent Saturday night, after many previous failed attempts, I came up with this recipe for him to nibble on. They are great, bite sized bursts of flavor that hopefully you can make for someone you love. Continued…

Tomorrow marks National Pie Day, so I decided to give a new pie recipe a try! I was craving something tangy and decided to mix all the frozen berries in my freezer into one delicious, gooey dessert. It was quick, easy and really hit the spot. Continued…

As a child from the south – well “south-ish” (I’m from Miami); anyway, I love biscuits. I remember when I was a kid catching whiffs of buttermilk biscuits cooking away in the oven and that smell making me feel so happy. After I stopped eating gluten, I found making dough (of any kind) extremely difficult. The flour substitutes I used either made the dough too dry and the dough would break apart, or the dough would be too wet and become more like a batter. Below is a success story where the biscuits formed a golden crust on the outside and crumbled just right when I cut them apart. Continued…
