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…

Strawberry Banana Bread

My husband was happily munching on this for breakfast this morning! I love using freeze-dried fruit in paleo baked goods because there’s a great concentration of  flavor and sweetness without the potential complication of adding too much moisture to the recipe. You could also try this with some freeze-dried blueberries, pineapple, or mango! Strawberry Banana Bread…

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread with Orange Glaze

  Here’s a fun, festive treat for the weekend. I know it’s not particularly “cool” out here in California, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying as many pumpkin-related treats as possible this season 🙂 Here are some past Clean Plate Pumpkin favorites! Cinnamon Pumpkin Chipotle Soup Pumpkin Butter Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Pumpkin Pie Smoothie…

Paleo Dessert Pizza

I’m certain that many of you are already engaged in your new year’s detox plans. However, I know others are waiting until Monday to start their health-centric plans. So, if you happen to need a perfectly delicious and paleo-friendly treat before you begin the Whole 30 or juice cleanse, make this for the weekend and…

Lemon Goji Cookies

Aren’t they cute?! I’m definitely on a cookie “kick” these days. Which is funny because I’m not a very “cookie” kind of person. I think it’s because they are a simple and inexpensive way to contribute to a party, give as gifts, etc… Not to mention that when I attend a holiday gathering full of…

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of my new products for sale at the local natural foods market is a coconut flour-based paleo cookie. In the past week I’ve introduced two different seasonal flavors, Gingerbread and Peppermint Hot Cocoa. Here’s a little sneak peek at the next flavor. I figure you can never go wrong with a classic. Me thinks…

Cheddar Cheese Biscuits

We are supposed to be neck deep in Autumn, but SoCal has decided to stay summer for a while… It was 95 degrees on Monday! WHHAT?! I know, crazy. Looks like the weather is finally starting to shift this week and we may even see some rain by Friday. Which is good, because if you…

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…

Gingerbread Cookies

It’s never too early to be thinking about the holidays. That’s a lie. It is WAY to early. I’m still enjoying summer and I refuse to fast forward to the holiday season. It’s a season, not an epic. That being said, anytime you use molasses in something, it invariably ends up tasting like gingerbread. So,…

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…
