I love when I can combine a sponsored post with a recipe that you’ve been asking me for! 😀 Since I confessed that I’m not currently tolerating eggs or almond flour, I’ve had a flood of requests for recipes that are free of those two ingredients. It seems I’m not the only one out there…

Dairy-free Smoothie Bowls with CoYo Coconut Yogurt
I am beyond excited to be partnering with my favorite dairy-free yogurt company, COYO! I first tried COYO coconut yogurt at ExpoWest a little over a year ago, and I was in love. COYO is made of coconut cream WITHOUT added sugar. It comes in plain and fruit sweetened only. Do you know how rare that is in the dairy-free yogurt scene?! It’s…
Homemade Cashew Butter
Have you ever made your own nut butter? It’s so easy!!! Cashew butter is my faaaaavorite, because cashews aren’t as expensive as say macadamia nuts, and because they have a mild enough flavor that cashew butter goes great with everything. What exactly IS everything, you say? Well, I have a post coming up next which…
instant ice cream
I’ve been admiring some really gorgeous smoothie bowls lately on Instagram. They make me hungry! And I have one of my own coming up soon, but in the mean time I have this super easy instant ice cream for you! It’s dairy-free of course, and full of nutrition. I use fresh young coconut and very…
Dairy-Free Chocolate Coconut Butter
My kids eat butter-bowls (as I call them) like this ALL the time. 🙂 In the Feeding Kids / Kids’ Favorites section of my book, Easy Paleo Meals I explain how mixing almond butter or sunbutter with water, cocoa or carob (whichever they prefer), a pinch of salt, and a tiny bit of honey is…
Dairy-Free Smoothie Bowl
I know smoothie bowls are super in right now, but I’ve been drinking my smoothies with a (stainless steel) straw for so long now that I don’t think I ever would have tried a smoothie bowl if it hadn’t been for Spunky Ginger. No, my 5 year old isn’t hip to trends, she thought of…
Fried Quinoa Cakes
Quinoa. I remember the first time I asked where it was in Whole Foods (in 2005) and I pronounced it the way that it looks. “You mean, ‘keen-wah’?” the store worker asked me. Oops. Yes, that. We were not instant fans of quinoa. I think without LOTS of seasoning it doesn’t taste very good. But…
3 Ingredient Coconut Chia Pudding
We’ve been having snow envy so we took the kids up near Big Bear to play 🙂 I want to go again soon. Crazy that we can drive to snow in one direction and the beach in the other. Driving back down the mountain we saw the most stunning sunset I’ve EVER seen in my…
Chestnut Flour Biscuits
I was recently given a few samples of this Italian chestnut flour. It will be available in Whole Foods beginning November! I’m really excited because I’ve become a big chestnut fan. The main question is, “What does it taste like?!” That’s a really hard question, since I’ve never tasted anything like it before. I guess it tastes nutty,…
Shortbread Gluten-Free Cereal
You may remember the scones I packed last year, on our road-trip to California. I quickly realized that they were great crumbled with almond milk, and that the kids preferred them that way. Just as Zoe loves “mac-n-cheese,” despite the fact that she’s never actually had “the real thing,” my kids are drawn to…
