When I first went Paleo, I searched high and low for healthy, wholesome snacks to keep on hand and to keep me on track. One of my favorite finds was LARABARs. There were so many fun flavors to choose, which initially drew me to LARABAR! Four years later, LARABAR continues to be on of my…

Double Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Power Balls
Omg another pumpkin recipe! Well kind of but not really! It does have pumpkin seeds aka pepitas but no pumpkin puree! These double chocolate pumpkin seed power balls are packed with flavor! These no-bake balls combine pumpkin seeds, dates, cacao powder, mini chocolate chips and cinnamon. Simple ingredients, amazing flavor. These double chocolate pumpkin seed…
Vegan Peppermint Fudge
This vegan peppermint fudge is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Decadent fudge makes for the perfect holiday treat. The peppermint is not only a delicious accent flavor but peppermint has its own health benefits. Peppermint has said to help with headaches and boost concentration. So I will just tell myself…
Mocha Almond Kind Bars
So Kind Bars have been getting a bad rap lately. I understand the FDA’s concerns but seriously there are 10x worst things out there. I pretty much take what the FDA says with a grain of salt. I do indulge in Kind Bars every once in a while, and my favorite is the Dark Chocolate…
Chocolate Cashew Clusters
We are in the Christmas countdown. My small-ish family of 5 has grown over the years to 12! Yes 12. Twelve is a lot of people to buy presents for. I went the DIY route this year and made lash lengthening serum, headache salve and eye cream for the ladies of my family. I’m not…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Confession time. My sister made this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. She has the patience to remake recipes multiple times if it doesn’t work the first time. I accredit this to the fact she has three children and also an extreme sweet tooth. I on the other hand am not blessed with said patience. Give me…
Spooky Banana Pops
I got this fabulous idea from Skinny Taste and really wanted to make it paleo. Last year I made almond joy bites, but I wanted to make a simple treat this year. These spooky little banana pops are so cute! I created a paleo “white chocolate” to make a hard shell around frozen bananas. My…
German Chocolate No-Bakes
I’m back in Oklahoma but it doesn’t feel real. My last few stops back in my home state could be categorized as temporary layovers to my next destination. This time I will be home for awhile. It is weird but good to be home. Although the travel bug hasn’t completely be quenched, my next adventure…
Mint Chocolate Chip Popsicles
My first year in college I had a meal plan like the rest of the freshman to our campus cafeteria. I was blessed with living near the nice cafeteria of the three. The first semester I loved the food and couldn’t get enough of the soft serve ice cream. By second semester, I wouldn’t step…
Mint Chocolate Frappe
In Europe drinking instant coffee isn’t as crime against humanity. From Paris through Italy and Greece, you couldn’t find a cafe that didn’t offer a frappe. At first I thought it was simply a frappacino until I finally came across a description. I was shocked to find out it was a blended instant coffee drink….
Paleo Pancake Poppers
I’m already ready for the weekend. Yesterday I went in for my bi-annual haircut. I only get my haircut twice a year, and sometimes resort to cutting it myself. Gasp. You would think I am just trying to save money, but in reality I have a deep fear of getting my haircut! I know it…
Paleo Matcha Green Tea Thumbprint Cookies
Bonus recipe for St. Paddy’s Week on Plaid and Paleo. If you couldn’t tell, I’m very excited about this celebration. While St. Paddy’s Day isn’t nearly as crazy as Mardi Gras in New Orleans, I’ve been promised plenty of parades and celebration! I’m always up for a good holiday that involves a little daytime party….
