These could be called "hedgehog snacks" just as easily as "hedgehog cookies" because they're only slightly sweet, but so fun to eat and moderately filling (perfect for tiding kids over until the next meal, I think). This recipe is actually a grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free version of a conventional recipe for hedgehog cookies, a batch of which was made to take to[...]
I'm having a great time with the Paleo Pen Pals monthly challenge: in February I created Black Garlic Chocolate Donuts with the gooey, salty, tangy Korean black garlic sent by Brittanie of Three Diets. One Dinner and this month I made taro tartlets with the package sent by Tanya from Feed the Clan! Taro is the common name for a family of tropical tubers. They're small (approximate[...]
Green Kitchen Stories is an utterly gorgeous blog. Its food philosophy is technically vegetarian, which may seem like an odd fit given my (avidly) omnivorous preferences, but the creators David and Luise have crafted a site full of unusual recipes highlighted by beautifully-composed images full of visual drama. Some of my favorites posts include the Green Breakfast Bowl, Warm Autumn[...]
It's notoriously difficult to eat well while traveling. Not traveling as in "on vacation" (although that could also be true in a different way) but as in "on the road". Since I'll be living out of a Salt Lake City hotel room for the rest of the week while I attend the Adobe Digital Marketing Summit, I took some proactive steps to make sure I'm not stranded with nothing to snack on if the quali[...]
No, I don't live on cookies and treats, although my posts of late have mostly featured the sweeter side of the Paleo life. I love to eat vegetables and (especially) meat but something about baking motivates and inspires me to photograph and post like nothing else. I call these Cherry Garcia Cookies in my head, because my favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream was the inspiration for thes[...]
The pairing of chocolate and cinnamon in Mexican chocolate was the inspiration for these cookies. While chocolate with cinnamon may not be an authentically Mexican combination, it still makes for a wonderful cookie. I personally like it spicy, so I added chili powder and cayenne pepper to up the heat and I chose dark chocolate to dip and drizzle over the macaroons because the bitter bite play[...]
Miracle cookies! So spontaneous, these are sweetened with nothing but a gooey banana, and take less than ten minutes to put together. The only unusual ingredient is coconut flour, I think, so you may be able to throw these together without a trip to the grocery store. One additional note: I think there's something about cinnamon that tricks the brain into thinking what you're eating is sw[...]
You know those recipe ideas that grab you and won't let go? Well, if you've never dreamed up an original recipe for something you think would be delicious then maybe not... But anyway, the idea for these crossed my mind when I saw some Double Coconut Muffins on Smitten Kitchen, but why stop at just double coconut? Why not up the ante and make them triple coconut muffins? I call t[...]
