Chocolate Chip Cookies. I must admit, I've experimented lots with grain free cookies, but they've always fallen short of expectations..

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I blame coconut flour. As much as I love the coconut flavour it gives food, I absolutely hate the way it tends to dry out recipes and leaves food a little grey.. These cookies are really nice, they're crunchy & a little chewy at the same time... You do need a little bit of time on your hands though since you'll need to chill the dough for a few hours to allow them to firm up. Paleo Chocolate Haupia Pie Squares.

A little while ago I posted my recipe for Paleo Caramel Sauce that I told you I would be serving along with ice cream to some friends. The texture of the caramel sauce is smooth and creamy like we are used to and there are only four ingredients needed: water, raw coconut palm sugar, coconut milk and vanilla extract. Butter Pecan Ice Cream is one of my all time favorite flavors and a caramel swirl made this ice cream even more delicious! My opinion is that this homemade ice cream beats any store bought, sugar loaded ice cream.

Trail Mix Cookies

These cookies cook down very thin, almost like lace cookies. Make sure you really mix all of the ingredients well; otherwise you’ll have pockets of honey bubbling out the sides of the cookies during the baking phase.

I’m a chef, not a baker.

Flourless Chocolate Torte

While I have never served a sub-par dessert at an dinner party, the events leading up to the perfectly plated final course are often less graceful that the finished product.

» Grain-Free Sugar Cookies (Paleo and SCD) Against All Grain. My birthday falls just 3 days apart from Valentine’s Day, so I’ve told Ryan over the last 11 years to not stress about V-day and just focus on my birthday. It’s also so close to Christmastime so I’ve always wanted to give him a break. However, as these last two years have shifted to being about us to 100% about our rambunctious little Asher, I think it’s time we start celebrating again and taking a day to commemorate our marriage and friendship.
