Paleo Baking For Christmas….Sort Of!

  As a former Christmas Bake-A-Holic, I feel the pain of those of you who no longer want to inflict butter, grains, dairy and sugar upon friends and family as 'gifts'.   Before spending a stretch of time in my kitchen, I thought I'd see what I could come up with via a Google search […]

Craving Cookies?

OK- let's get off on the right foot; I'm NOT doing this post to tell you to eat cookies all the time.   If you are someone, like me, who follows at the 100% commitment level, and, on occasion you'd like a safe (as in, not containing toxins such those found in grains or soy!) […]

Rethinking Holiday Bake-A-Thons

Whether you've traditionally done an all day bake off in order to produce homemade goodies for friends, or as part of a fund-raiser of sorts (and I used to do a LOT of the former, during the holidays), now that you're following The Paleo Diet, you may be at a loss as to what to […]
