Gutsy By Nature
There are few foods I love more than fresh sweet cherries, so when I heard that the trees at Hollin Farms, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, were ripe and ready for picking this past weekend, I dropped all other plans I had for Saturday morning and took the hour drive with Lily […]
Overripe bananas usually mean banana bread but this recipe instead twists them into fudgy banana flavored brownies that are vegan, AIP, grain-free, and have no added sweeteners. Yes, it’s the holy grail of dessert yumminess! Whether you just need something that is gluten-free and all natural, or have multiple allergies or intolerances, this IS the […]
Whether you call it it a crumble or a crisp or “lazy person’s version of apple pie,” you are sure to love this allergy friendly AIP apple crumble and be proud to serve it to anyone, regardless of their dietary restrictions… or lack of! It started out as an experiment that I didn’t really intend […]
Paleo banana coconut cream pie. YES! I have created a dairy free, gluten free, grain free, nut free, and naturally sweetened version that is both comforting enough to satisfy your nostalgic sweet tooth and elegant enough to serve at a fancy dinner party. In fact, it is ideal for that fancy dinner party because you can […]
My favorite cookies for wintertime have always been molasses spice cookies but it’s taken me a while to come up with a paleo version that is also nut free and has the same texture and taste I remember. I had been playing around with this recipe for some time when my friend Stacy (Paleo Gone Sassy) […]

This version is for everyone, including those who are following the paleo autoimmune protocol because it doesn’t use nuts or eggs. You could also modify it to be vegan, […]
I will happily eat strawberries plain, but my second favorite way to enjoy these seasonal beauties is in a strawberry shortcake. But what if you are following the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP)? This year I was determined to create a gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free, and egg-free version of this summer treat that still had a tender […]
Gingersnaps made with cassava flour? What’s that, you ask? It’s sweeping the world of gluten-free and paleo-friendly baking! You can use it as a one-to-one substitute for wheat flour in most conventional recipes without the need to add any extra ingredients and it has a completely neutral flavor, so it works well in both savory and sweet […]
Before I tell you how much I love Real Life Paleo, the new book from Stacy Toth and Matthew McCary (also known as the Paleo Parents), I have to gush about these egg free macaroons. They are every thing you want in a paleo treat: easy to make, rich and creamy, just sweet enough, and […]
