This is a wonderful little sweet treat from Zenbelly that you can eat anytime without fear of over indulgence (I guess that depends on how many of them you eat though). Great ingredients including honey or maple syrup as a sweetener and you’ve got a winner. I’ll take these over a Snicker’s Bar any day, [...]
Creamy Banana Blueberry Milkshakes
from Family Fresh Cooking
While it hasn’t been exactly hot lately (unless you live in the southern hemisphere), a milkshake is a treat that will lift the spirits of any kid or grown-up immediately. Best of all, it doesn’t have to be unhealthy. This version from Marla Meridith of Family Fresh Cooking has to be one of the heartiest looking shakes [...]
Pear Almond Clafoutis (or is it Flognarde?)
from Gourmande in the Kitchen
Here’s a new post from someone that I haven’t featured here before, it’s for a gluten-free and grain-free Pear Almond Clafoutis from Sylvie Shirazi of Gourmande in the Kitchen. As always, when I see posts that are grain-free, I get giddy with excitement and share, share, share. I was lucky enough to live in France [...]
Coconut Bars
from Elana’s Pantry
If you like macaroons, you’re going to love these Coconut Bars from Elana’s Pantry. With a great list of ingredients, they won’t be quite as guilt-inducing as other desserts. If you want to add a little more guilt to the recipe, try Elana’s suggestion of drizzling them with dark chocolate. Either way, if you’re as [...]
“Rice” Pudding Paleo Style
(Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Corn, Grain, Egg, Sugar Free)
from Real Sustenance
This is one of those OMG, I can’t believe this is cauliflower moments. Rice pudding without the rice — who needs the rice when you can make something as healthy as cauliflower taste this good. For me personally, I’d swap out the stevia for some raw honey, but that’s up to you. Everyone has their [...]
Sour Milk: Lessons from Scandinavia
via Nourished Kitchen
I eat yogurt nearly every morning. Along with my tea, it’s been a ritual that I’ve had for nearly 20 years. Back before my diagnosis of celiac disease in 1999 and prior to my interest in real food, I used to stick everything imaginable in it and more times than not, I wasn’t doing myself [...]
Layered Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
(Gluten, Grain, Starch, Egg, Corn, Soy Free)
from Real Sustenance
While I don’t post a lot of sugary desserts anymore and I’m not a huge fan of sugar substitutes, this dessert recipe from Brittany of Real Sustenance looked too good…
Flourless Choc Cinnamon Banana Cake
from Eat. Live. Paleo.
Here’s another great post from Tomoko Minami (formerly the author of food/love/rock&roll and now Eat. Live. Paleo.) As I had mentioned in a previous post, I love anything that relies on fruit for sweetness. Why add refined sugar when you can use something as simple as a banana? Doesn’t that just make sense? Anyhow, five ingredients [...]
Chai Carrot Pear Muffins
(Vegan & Gluten-Free)
from Family Fresh Cooking
I’ve probably mentioned more than a few times that I love anything chai flavored. I drink chai tea on a daily basis, I’ve made just about chai inspired dessert known to man (maybe a little exaggeration there), and I’ll go way out of my way to get the right ingredients to fulfill this need (or [...]
Delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
from Elana’s Pantry
As my kids will attest, I’m a never ending nag when it comes to how much sugar they consume. Needless to say, I’m not always successful at controlling what they eat as they have access to sweets from many different sources (think friends and school). So, when I come across treats like this from Elana’s [...]
Pumpkin Chai Bars with a Raw Pecan Crust
(vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free)
from The Spunky Coconut
Here’s a great Thanksgiving dessert idea for you — Pumpkin Chai Bars with a Raw Pecan Crust from Kelly of The Spunky Coconut. The hardest part of a recipe like this would not be in making it, but more in not eating all of it before it made its way to the table. I love the [...]
Hayley’s “Paleo” Birthday Cake
from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate
Gluten-free birthday cakes are everywhere these days and they range in quality as well as taste. Whether you’re buying a mix at the supermarket, getting one from one of the many gluten-free bakeries that are popping up, or making your own from a recipe you found online, the list of ingredients that is used is [...]
