These cookies are everything. I mean they actually represent everything that is good about a cookie: chewy, crispy, not too sweet, a little tart surprise and a delicious texture. If you don’t like these cookies then there’s something wrong with you because they have something for everyone. Chocolate, twice. Coffee, twice. Cherries. Coconut. …
Chai Spice Cookies
The second instalment in the Christmas cookie extravaganza are these oh-so-cute domes of Chai spice goodness. I’ve been making these cookies for years and I have adapted them to be gluten free, once again using cassava flour.
My favourite thing about these cookies is that they’re small and dainty which makes them the perfect little snack for a holiday tea or coffee break. The spices really shine here and they are truly reminiscent of masala chai. I like the pumpkin seeds as well which add a hint of green and make them more festive. …
Currant Gingersnaps
Happy December dear friends! For the rest of this fine festive month, we will be showcasing Christmas cookie recipes. They will all be gluten free and absolutely delicious.
I am totally one of those people who loves Christmas–I get all sappy when I hear Christmas carols, I love the way the decorated tree sparkles and twinkles and I love the excuse Christmas gives me to be with family and friends while sipping on hot chocolate. …
Meatless Monday: Chipotle Spiced Sweet Potato Noodles
It’s no secret that paleo eating involves a pretty hefty amount of meat. Due to the nutrient density of animal products, meat is the main protein source in the paleo diet and is featured in almost every meal.
But over the last few months, I was feeling like I was eating a lot of meat and not getting in as much of the rainbow-tastic, vitamin rich vegetable family. …
Sausage and Kale Soup
Winter has descended. Yesterday it felt like -10 degrees outside. The radio was spewing all manner of weather swear words “wind chill”, “frost”, “flurries”. I walked out in my down filled coat, a hat, mittens and a scarf. It was a difficult day for me. It’s not that I don’t like the cold…it’s that I hate it.
But a deep disdain for something can certainly breed brilliance. …
The Best Grain Free Thanksgiving Stuffing
Can we just please take a minute to talk about stuffing? Basically, the best part of the Thanksgiving table is that delicious combination of herbs, vegetables and bread that just exudes fall with every steamy bite. Those crispy edges of bread combined with the warming taste of sage and rosemary. The bread just soaks up all the delicious flavour and delivers it to your mouth in a perfect little morsel.
Ummmmm wait….this is a paleo blog….we don’t do bread around here….
Caldo Verde: Portuguese Collard Soup
Caldo verde, literally meaning “green broth” is a timeless Portuguese recipe. Caldo verde represents the essence of Portuguese cuisine: simple, rustic, satisfying. Using only five ingredients, most of which are always on hand, it is a humble soup that packs a lot of flavour. I grew up eating caldo verde on a regular ol’ weekday after school because it’s that easy to whip together but it’s so delicious that it has a place at weddings and other celebrations too.
Caldo verde makes me proud to be Portuguese and I get so glad when I hear that my non Portuguese friends or coworkers have tried making it at home themselves. This usually goes something like this:…
Country Style Pork Rib Stew
We’re currently in the midst of traveling around Colombia. While we’re soaking up the sun as much as we can and enjoying tropical fruits every step of the way, we know what awaits us when we return home. When we left Canada, frost had descended upon us. It was perfect stew weather. Before I left I made this pork stew and threw it in the freezer so we had something to warm us up to the fact that 6 months of winter was definately coming whether we like it or not….
Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And an extremely flattering imitation is what I have for you today. Whether you want to call it Fall or Autumn, we all know the real name of this season is “Pumpkin Spice”. A couple of weeks ago, I popped into my favourite tea shop and they had a pumpkin pie matcha powder. They whipped me up a latte and I was in pumpkin heaven…until I read the ingredient list. …
Spiced Apple Porridge
When I first started eating paleo, there were some foods that were harder to give up than others. Oatmeal was definitely one thing that took me a long time to let go of. For me, creamy, warm oatmeal was a staple breakfast through the cool Fall and Winter. Sure eggs and bacon are a great stick to your ribs breakfast but sometimes there’s a breakfast void that only porridge can fill….
