So what makes these weeks seem so much longer than the others? Amount of work? Slow week or … Continue reading Mini Paleo Pancake Bites -GF, DF
Donuts have been on my baking bucket list for quite some time... I have attempted on more than one occasion, as early as fall of 2018, and Every. Single. Time. was a fail. They tasted good, always, right? But the texture flopped and they exploded all over the donut pan and more. Literally the only … Continue reading Paleo Donuts 4 Ways- GF, DF

We live in a world that tells us, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I'm gonna call bullshit on that one and state the obvious facts: 1- whoever said that hasn't tasted this cake and 2- we need indulgence once in awhile. Life is too short to worry about trivial things... Don't spend the … Continue reading Melty Chocolate Lava Cake for 2
Call me crazy, call me cliche, but there is something that is honest-to-god decadently comforting about chocolate.
