Chocolate Lava Fudge Cakes

Chocolate lava

First off, this is grain free, refined sugar free, fudgy, delicious, and super evil. You can have it three ways: Ultra dark fudge, regular dark fudge, and chocolate lava fudge. I’ve been having this for a snack. After all, it’s grain free and refined sugar free, so what do I have to lose? It isn’t [...]

Fruit Tarts

1

I’m not exactly the pastry queen. If you’re wondering about the truth of this statement, check out the “pies” section. It looks pretty pathetic. So actually, don’t check out the “pies” section. I don’t make pies because they are a lot of work, and because they aren’t my favorite thing ever. Thinking about it now, [...]

Monkey Bread

Monkey bread is a messy, delicious, wonderful thing. I’d actually never had monkey bread before, but when I thought about little balls of dough surrounded by cinnamon and butter and sugar, I realized I’d be insane if I didn’t make it. My little sisters enjoyed it. I told them that if they ate this bread [...]

Chocolate Coconut Bars

These are good. You think I’m joking? Crunchy coconut in a rectangle, wrapped in super dark chocolate. Do you still think I’m joking? Healthy. Sugar free, dairy free, grain free, soy free…etc. How about now? Hey, if you’re still not convinced, I feel bad for you. Coconut might not be for everyone, though it’s definitely [...]

Paleo Banana Muffins

These are: Dairy free, grain free, gluten-free, and soy free. They can be made sugar free fairly easily. The only thing that’s counting them as non-sugar free is a little bit of honey, which can be substituted with another kind of paleo sweetener. You can also go with no sweetener at all, since the banana [...]

Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Yes, I’m a chocolate person. Get used to it. But think about it. Chocolate gooeyness that tastes like fudge, contrasted with whipped cream. I’m thinking about it. Definitely. You should too. SERVES: About twelve people TIME: 20 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook Ingredients: 2 sticks butter 4 cups chocolate chips 3 eggs ¼ cup sugar [...]

Two Layer Cheesecake

    (If you prefer to make just a single layer cheesecake, try Grain-Free Cheesecake). I recently made this for my youngest sister’s birthday. She’s never been one to go halfway on her birthday requests, and this year was certainly no exception. I tried to convince her to do an all-vanilla cheesecake, but she insisted on [...]

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies

I know, I know. This is an unstable dessert. After all, cookie dough (the best thing in the whole wide world) and brownies (the second best thing in the whole wide world) put together? Well, let’s do the math. Best thing in the world + second best thing in the world = the very best [...]

No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Pie

IMG 1 copy

So, yeah, new recipe: Chocolate mousse pie. I’d call it a pie, anyway. And the mousse part? Usually mousse is pretty soft and creamy and such, but this firm. Firm enough to cut. So I don’t know whether or not that qualifies for mousse. But let’s just make things easy. Call it mousse. And here [...]

Cinnamon Vanilla Waffles

IMG1B copy

A few days ago I took out my new cast-iron waffle maker and gave it a shot. The nonstick waffle maker that I had broke down ages ago. It just couldn’t handle the effort of making waffles for tons of hungry little kids. I’m not kidding about the ‘tons’. There may be just a few [...]
