“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, […]

Coconut Stuffed Chocolate Crepes with Chocolate Sauce (Gluten free, Paleo, AIP, Vegan)

  As kids we were always taught at home that if you have nothing good to say then don’t say anything at all.  And that’s what I have always practiced. Why is it so hard then for some others to do the same? OK you might be thinking that someone actually might have said something […]

   With everyone being in holiday baking mood, distractions are everywhere.

Pumpkin Donut holes (Paleo, AIP)

Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies || Coconut flour Brownies (Paleo)

    I wonder who discovered brownies and whether it was an accidental discovery? Was it a cake batter not rising adequately or a cookie batter becoming a bit runny? Well, we will never know for sure. But when I googled this question, it seems that in 1906, a cookbook author, Fanny Farmer adapted her chocolate […]
