Hey there, how are you? Hanging in? Doing okay? Doing horribly? It’s all welcome here. I feel like the days of COVID are, among other things, one giant emotional experiment. One day I’m up, positive, even motivated. Other’s I feel like like a slug of inactivity and despair. No offense to slugs of course. They’re…

Chocolate Orange Scones
If flavors could get married, I would stand up as a witness to the Chocolate and Orange nuptials. They’re such a classy pair, don’t you think!? One of my favorite resources for flavor pairing is The Flavor Thesaurus. It would make an amazing addition to any kitchen or a gift for the serious cooks in…
Maple Orange Almond Cake
Your weekly dose of yummy, healthy treats is here! When I tasted this cake, the first words out of my mouth were “Oh My God.” It’s delicious and decadent and also incredible user-friendly. I have this thing for simple baking recipes. I don’t like having to be super exact or go out and buy a…
Olive Oil Lemon Muffins
I don’t bake with Olive Oil too often, but this recipe was just begging for it! Despite the use of coconut flour which can make baked goods pretty dense and oftentimes dry, these muffins come out luscious and moist due to the addition of the olive oil. They are also incredibly nourishing due to their…
Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Bars
This is the result of complete recipe improvisation. I was scanning an old bread recipe and didn’t have the necessary ingredients on hand, so I swapped here, added there. The result was pretty incredible. I’m so glad that it was for a client because my husband and I were ready to consume the entire pan….
Parmesan Sweet Potato Stacks

Seriously, this goes great with chicken, fish, beef, lamb, pork… even eggs at breakfast! It’s not strict paleo, but you can always omit the cheese if you aren’t “primal” (paleo plus dairy). Recipe…
Links I Love 6.0
Been a little uninspired lately when it comes to new recipes… so I thought I’d share some inspiring links! First up. Almond flour… the good vs. the bad. You decide. “I don’t think almond flour is a terrible flour. And I don’t think coconut is a better choice (not that I think you should avoid…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins remind me of a friend. This friend is probably one of the funniest, most creative, and longest lasting friends I have ever had. She’s fantastic. And it just so happens that the flavor marriage of pumpkin and chocolate is her favorite thing… (well, one of her favorite things.) This friend is Kiki. You should…
Miniature Apple Bread Puddings
Why have I called it “Miniature” instead of “mini”? I don’t know. Just felt like I wanted to use the entire word today. It really rolls off the tongue. Another experiment out of the Practical Paleo book by Diane Sanfilippo. These little beauties are my contribution to a weekend birthday brunch. They are not very…
