I know Christmas was almost a month ago but bear with me for one more Christmas recipe. It’s easy to find delicious red food but green? Not so much. Unless you want to sneak spinach, kale, or peppers into a dessert, it’s hard to get the red and green theme naturally. This bark looks like…

Loaded Coconut Cake Squares
As I’ve been eating my way through yogurt that Chobani sent me, I’ve been trying to get creative on new ways to cook with it. Everyone knows yogurt is a great low-fat alternative for baking so I took that as my starting point and took off from there. While a good base recipe is essential,…
Coconut Almond Granola
I’m not sure how I’d live if I were allergic to nuts. Peanuts, coconuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios—all of them; they’ve become a staple in my diet without gluten or meat. And don’t even get me started on all of the amazing things you can bake with almond flour… Thankfully, I’m not, so I can go…
Cherry Coconut Pavlova
I’ve never heard the word “pavlova” more than in the past month. It’s not a dessert that gets a lot of attention, but for some reason I’ve been seeing it everywhere: At parties we’ve gone to, on the Food Network, and even on one of my favorite blogs. Since it’s a naturally gluten-free dessert, I…
Almond Joy Fudge
There are few things better than fudge or candy, except maybe fudge that tastes like candy. Coconut tends to be one of those touchy flavors; people either love it or hate it. Alone I think it’s pretty good—nothing special. Combine it with chocolate and sugar, though, and you’ve got a clear winner. This fudge has…
Lime In The Coconut Cupcakes
I apologize this recipe is coming on nueve de Mayo and not last week when it might have been more fitting. If it’s any consolation, I made these on cinco de Mayo and ate a few on seis de Mayo and they were still delicious, so I’m sure whenever you make these they’d be a…
Honey Almond Macaroons
Cookie recipes can be hard sometimes. You need to preheat the oven, mix the ingredients in a certain order, chill and slice the dough sometimes—it’s usually more work than I want to do for a quick sweet fix. I love macaroons since they’re about as easy a cookie as you can make and still have…
Tropical Greek Yogurt Parfait
It’s been a long time since I posted a dairy-heavy recipe. A long time. I stopped eating dairy for a while after watching foodie documentaries and getting all the info; I don’t think that was a bad choice, but recently my snacking choices have been less-than-healthy, and the idea of something tasty, high in protein,…
Paleo Vanilla Cupcakes
Last week was my parents’ anniversary. To celebrate I got them a cheesy present and made dessert; it’s what I do. I figured a cake would be a bit much for 3 people so I went with cupcakes using a secret ingredient I picked up last month at the store. I’ve had coconut flour before…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Macaroons
Have I made it obvious that I love peanut butter and chocolate yet? I love it in cakes, I love it in cupcakes, I love it from the jar and off a spoon, and now I love it in macaroon form. Sometimes I miss walking in to a bakery and picking out the most absurd,…
