Shamrock Ice Cream — No Sugar Added, but better than the real thing (at least, in my opinion)!

I used to be a die hard Shamrock Shake fan. Now, the thought of buying something from McDonald’s doesn’t appeal to me, and neither does the ingredient list for the shake (I heard McDonald’s milkshakes are dairy free—is that true?). Today, I thought I’d try making my own version of a Shamrock Shake, even though …

Why Is Coconut Flour a Good Choice? {and more about gluten free flatbread grilled cheese sandwiches}

How many times can I post about the coconut flour flatbread before you get bored? A few people have tried it already:   Thanks for the feedback! I hope others try it too—I’ve made three batches so far, and with the third one, I added grated parmesan to the batter (probably a tablespoon). It was …

Chocolate Coconut Cream Mousse (grain/gluten free and dairy free)

I’ve tried twice to convert my vanilla coconut cream and cherry berry coconut cream recipes into a chocolate version. The first attempt…was awful. Not sweet enough. Too much cocoa. But it had a great texture, so I knew there was hope! The second time… it was amazing (and then I replicated that version just to …

Cherry Berry Coconut Cream Pudding {and the benefits of tart cherry juice}

This morning, I thought I’d make coconut cream pudding but sub in strawberry protein powder for the vanilla I have been using. Once I got started, I realized the pudding was going to be white (the protein powder is white), and I wanted it to be pink… Full disclosure: My first thought was that maybe …

Happy Valentine’s Day—What do you love?

In my house, we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day…well, we did sort of—by going out to lunch on Saturday (but we would have done that anyway). We joke that every day is Valentine’s Day in our house…and we’re just not really into the gift/commercial aspect of holidays. I am planning on buying a valentine gift …

Grain Free Hemp Seed Breakfast Cookies (with chia and coconut)

Today I really wanted a cookie. First, I made vanilla kale chips, and they turned out ok—the original version was way better (I subbed in hemp seeds for cashews and erythritol for maple syrup…this made them just ok instead of amazing like the original recipe. Once I’m eating nuts again, I’ll re-post about the amazing …

Vanilla Coconut Cream Pudding (aka Fruit Dip) – Only 3 Ingredients!

Yesterday, I feasted on kale chips (yes, the entire batch), and today I ate a truckload of coconut cream pudding. I should call it fruit dip, but I didn’t dip anything — I just ate it with a spoon, half at lunch and half at dinner. It was not a couple days of great variety …

Pizza Flavored Kale Chips, 2nd edition (with hemp seeds)

I meant to make kale chips last Monday, so I could take some to a client on Tuesday morning (she’s doing an elimination diet—which she affectionately calls the No Diet… Can you eat this? No.). However, I ran out of time, and the kale stayed in my fridge until today. The great thing about kale …
