Paleo Buckeyes (Vegan & Gluten Free)

This recipe was inspired by The Big Mans World website. To all of my Ohioans, this tastes like Buckeyes! I’ve prepared this with both almond butter and peanut butter. Both are delicious, but I do prefer the taste of the peanut butter a little more. Let me know what you think!   Dough Ingredients: 1 cup almond or peanut butter ¼ cup maple syrup 2 Tbsp pumpkin puree ½ Tbsp pumpkin spice 2 tsp vanilla 1 tsp sea salt 2…

Paleo Pumpkin Bread (Gluten Free)

If you’ve ever dined at Bob’s Evans, then you probably know how amazing their pumpkin bread is. I used to be a server there, and would eat this on the daily.

Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree 3 eggs 1/3 cup melted coconut oil ½ cup…

Green Juice

Ingredients: 2 Green Apples 4-5 Kale Leaves 3-4 Celery Stalks Small slice of ginger ½ lemon   Directions: Juice all together. Discard the pulp.

Blueberry Nice Cream- Vegan & Paleo

If you’re a fan of blueberries, then you’re going to love this “nice cream.” It’s so creamy and delicious! My recipe was inspired from Wife Mama Foodie’s website.

Himalayan Sea Salt

Are you one of those people who experience salt cravings? Before I started adding Himalayan Sea Salt to my water, I used to crave anything with salt. My worst offenders were pretzels and chips. Neither of which are appropriate to consume with my autoimmune issues. I’ve been amazed with how my cravings subsided, after adding sea salt to 1-2 glasses of my water each day.   What is Himalayan Sea Salt? Himalayan salt comes from salt mines below the Himalayan…

This is a guilt free treat to enjoy! Check it out and let me know what you think. Ingredients: 1…

Golden Turmeric Milk

I promise this taste better than the look my cat is giving it. LOL. I am not a fan of the taste of Turmeric, but I’ve found drinking it as a “Golden” milk, makes it very enjoyable.
