These gluten free mini dutch babies are cooked in a muffin pan to perfect serving-sized puffiness. Coated with fruit sauce, they are a beautiful and delicious breakfast or coffee accompaniment. And did I mention that they only take like 30 minutes to make? You need these. Now. See those plates? I am so excited about those plates. Yes, I know what your thinking: "Here it is at last. Confirmation that Linnaea is 100% insane. I think it's time I unsubscribed from this blog." Insane ...

Peanut Butter Chocolate Covered Dates
Every now and then, you need survival food. This is why my Dad always brings chocolate chips when we go hiking. Often, the youngest of my little siblings will start dragging her feet and moaning quite a bit. The second to youngest (aka my slightly dramatic and should-be-an-actress sister) tends to collapse in the middle of the trail and start giving us her last will and testament while other hikers pass by giving us strange looks. If they weren't already giving us strange looks because the ...
Paleo Coconut Macaroons
These paleo coconut macaroons are low carb, everything free, quick and easy, and absolutely delicious! Crunchy on the outside, chewy and soft inside! My sister and I have started a new tradition here at the ranch. Every Monday, the entire crew works together to pack our beef into boxes to ship nationwide. Every Monday, one of my younger sisters, a tragic coffee addict, starts a pot of coffee. Every Monday, many people drink this pot of rather bitter and dishwatery coffee, and every Monday ...
Gluten Free & Paleo Carrot Cake
This paleo carrot cake is soft, moist, and one of the best I've ever had! Spread with cream cheese frosting or creamy paleo date frosting! Folks, I'm on the last one, so it's time to celebrate. The laaaaaaast one. I won't say it's been fun, easy, or exactly something I'd want to repeat. My Mom officially announced that "Linnaea, your time management skills are not what I thought they were." I have to agree with her. My time management skills are not what I thought they were. Every ...
Gluten Free Crepes with Caramelized Peach Spread
A delightful breakfast or a pretty dessert, these gluten free crepes with caramelized peach spread are simply divine. Refined sugar free, too! Jump to the Recipe. This morning I wandered downstairs in a daze and collapsed backwards onto the couch, legs swinging up into the air and head hanging off the edge (this is the proper way to sit/lounge/flop on a couch). The blood rushed all the way down from my feet to my brain, and I stared at the opposite upside down wall and faced that old ...
Chocolate Fudge Brownie Gluten Free Cookies
These gluten free cookies taste like a cross between a fudgy brownie and those chewy chocolate cookies you remember! Believe me, you won't be disappointed in these gluten free cookies! I dare you to only eat one! I’m currently living by myself, tragically cast away by my cruel family, left adrift in this world. Actually, it was I who left them. Not that I had any choice. They practically booted me out, saying, “See ya. Don’t let the door hit you on the butt on the way out.” Okay, fine, it ...
Paleo Cupcakes (Chocolate, Moist, and Not Eggy!)
Super rich, fudgy, chocolatey, and not at all eggy paleo cupcakes with a secret ingredient. No one would know these divine cupcakes are secretly paleo! JUMP TO THE RECIPE. I first made this recipe as a cake with zucchini for my sister’s birthday, but we all agreed later that the zucchini flavor was a bit too strong and didn’t pair well with the peanut butter. In the end we switched in carrots instead of zucchini. None of us could taste them at all and no one would guess that these paleo ...
Apple Pizza
One lovely morning I got out of bed thinking all was right with the world. Until I went downstairs and found my sisters. Hungry sisters. “Linnaea,” they said, “We are hungry.” (Actually they said it in Pig Latin. I’m translating here). Merciful sister that I am: “Don’t worry, angels, I shall feed you.” (It didn’t sound quite so good in Pig Latin). “Oh, thank you, Linnaea, and in return, we will serve you forevermore.” “That’s not necessary, my darling sisters.” Okay, fine. ...
Gluten Free Apple Cobbler
You've gotta have gluten free apple cobbler. It's just one of those necessities of life. Like chocolate or books. Books. I've been on a book marathon lately. Except not really a marathon. It's just that sometimes I'm hungry for food and other times I have a voracious appetite for books. Sometimes both. I think I read three books yesterday. And after that I read a bunch of short children's stories. Yes, I still read children's books. No, I'm not ashamed. And anyway, ...
