Recipe for Gluten-Free Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

This recipe for gluten-free chocolate peppermint cupcakes is easy to make, perfect for holiday parties and insanely delicious! Last weekend my girlfriend was throwing a holiday party and I offered to make some Christmas-y cupcakes. I’m not really sure why I volunteered to do this because honestly, I’m a horrible baker. An appetizer, a cocktail, a cheese plate – these are much more up my alley. But for some reason, unbeknownst to even myself – I volunteered to bake. At least, I figured, my kids would have some gluten-free dessert options at the party. Because we both know a three-year-old surrounded by Christmas desserts is going to try to eat ALL of them. No? Just mine? Why you will love this recipe for gluten-free cupcakes: These gluten-free Christmas chocolate cupcakes are made with a delicious blend of almond flour and coconut flour. They turn out minty, tender, perfectly moist and…

Gluten-Free Frosted Sugar Cookies

Try my recipe for these Frosted Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies, they’re dairy-free and sweetened with honey and taste absolutely delicious! These Gluten-free Sugar Cookies are the perfect addition to your Christmas Cookie Platter! When the holidays hit, I’m overcome with the compulsion to bake. And you guys – I’ll be honest, baking is NOT my strong suit. Although these festive gluten-free sugar cookies may change that. Because these suckers are REALLY good. As soon as that Friday after Thanksgiving hits, I’m obsessed with making frosted sugar cookies. They scream Christmas to me (although I used natural/non-toxic food coloring for these so they look a little more Easter-y). My husband said they actually kind of looked like the pies in the movie Hook, when Robin Williams and all the kids sit down to have a feast. You know, when he schools Rufio? No need for baking skills – this Gluten-free Sugar Cookies…

Soft, Chewy & Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband is a chocolate chip cookie monster. It’s his favorite cookie. On Wednesday I made a big batch of these cookies (which I’ve been perfecting for a while) for our friend’s birthday today. The recipe below makes about 14 cookies. When I woke up this morning, there were two left. HE’S EATEN TWELVE COOKIES SINCE WEDNESDAY. IT’S FRIDAY MORNING. So while it’s a bummer I won’t be gifting these to my friend for his b-day, at least I know that they’re good. Sometimes I’m not sure if I like something I’ve made because I’m so used to eating grain and sugar free, or if they actually taste good. Scott is a chocolate chip cookie expert and said these were really good – but very soft. He’s one of those people that prefers a crunchier chocolate chip cookie. I am not. These are super soft and chewy, just don’t over-bake…

Paleo Biscuits

Truth be told, I’ve never been a huge fan of biscuits. I kinda feel like there are two people: people from the South who grew up eating sausage gravy over biscuits, and people from the North who grew up eating cream chipped ham over toast. I fall into the latter category. Except when I went to my best friend’s family’s vacation to Myrtle Beach every year when I was a kid. Then I was all over some sausage gravy and biscuits. Truth be told again, these aren’t those large, fluffy, white biscuits you find in the south. These are crumbly, buttery and delicious. They go great with soup, which is what we’ve been eating them with. I also discovered that they’re PERFECT for breakfast sandwiches. Throw a fried egg, some bacon or sausage, maybe even some grass-fed and raw cheese (if you eat dairy) on these suckers and you’ve got an…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownies (Paleo & Primal)

I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of sweets. I prefer bacon or my favorite potato chips, and I’ll actually take vanilla over chocolate any day. But sometimes, chocolate really hits the spot.

Best Paleo Snickerdoodles Recipe

The best Paleo Snickerdoodles recipe. Soft and chewy gluten-free and grain-free cinnamon sugar cookies that are easy to make and perfect for the holidays! Much to my surprise, I recently found out that Scott had no idea what a snickerdoodle is. He thought it was something involving a Snickers bar, which he was pretty stoked about due his love of Snickers. But I hate Snickers, and it was time to teach that man about the amazing holiday cookie that is the snickerdoodle. What is a snickerdoodle cookie? Snickerdoodles are probably German or Dutch in origin. They are bit like a sugar cookie, but with cinnamon. A snickerdoodle cookie has to be soft and a bit chewy. It has to be rolled twice in cinnamon-sugar until it is completely coated Why this is the best Paleo Snickerdoodles Cookie recipe ever: These Paleo Cinnamon Sugar Cookies are soft, buttery, thick, chewy and…
