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…
Healthy Treats
gluten-free cider donuts
Creating a gluten-free cider donuts recipe has been on my to-do list for years now. I didn’t grow up with them, but Andy loved to eat them (the wheat kind) every fall when he was growing up in New York and Pennsylvania. When we moved to Maryland in 2000 he asked his new co-workers where he…
Lemon Cream Jello
I used to be so perplexed by my friends who said they were busy. Days would go by where we didn’t even drive anywhere. We went for walks, sometimes to the coffee shop (which was the only thing in walking distance, not a bad thing!), but otherwise we stayed home cooking, crafting, dancing, project-working. It…
Healthy Coconut Joys
As you can imagine, both store-bought chocolate/coconut/almond candy bars and homemade coconut candy recipes are FULL of refined sugar—anywhere from 1 to 3 cups of it per batch. It doesn’t have to be that way. Treats can be healthy too! I’ve teamed up with Nuts.com to give you these healthy Coconut Joys with a fraction of the sweetener!…
3 Ingredients Easy Dairy-Free Chocolate Pudding
You guys, I don’t mean to be all dramatic, but meal planning seriously changed my life. I remember back in the day, people would say meal planning saved money, and I was like, noooooo. How can that be? But it dooooooes. For reals. I have CUT my weekly grocery budget at LEAST in half. And…
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…
Vanilla Toasted Coconut Bars
Dude… it’s been rough times at my house. While Andy and Zoe were in Colorado for a few days I got glutened and I’m still dealing with it. Then after we picked them up at the airport yesterday Ashley got the stomach flu, poor baby. Ginger is either feeling under the weather now, or just…
Chocolate slice with arrowroot biscuits
My Aussie and Kiwi friends! I am so excited to finally have made one of the recipes you asked for, Spunky Coconut style 🙂 (Technically, I had already made another one, but that recipe will be in my new book, coming out this fall!) For my fellow Americans: this chocolate slice tastes just like an E. L. Fudge Cookie….
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
I released this recipe last month in my Spunky Newsletter, but so many people emailed me, asking if I would post it online (so they can bookmark it, Pin it, etc.) So here it is! These Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are so yummy! Just like the original gluten-free cinnamon rolls recipe they’re based on, these have…
10 Gluten-Free Snacks for Kids
I don’t know about you, but I don’t make dinner every night. That came out wrong 😉 It’s just that when I think of “dinner” I think of something that takes a while to cook, like Lasagna or even Chicken Nuggets. I only make things like that a couple times a week. The other nights we eat…
