Sweet Potato Chips
I created these chips because I wanted a salty, crunchy snack for my husband and kids. These seemed like a reasonable goal. However, as I began to experiment with versions of …
Nut-Free Sesame Hamburger Buns

Chocolate-Date Squares
I am finding myself playing with raw fruit and nut bars a lot these days. Partly because dried fruit is a very healthy way to sweeten a treat (you get to keep all the fiber and …
Paleo Hot Cross Buns
I associate hot cross buns with Easter even more than I do candy and chocolate (even creme eggs!). We used to buy these amazing traditional buns full of raisins and candied citrus …
Yeast-Based Paleo Bread
This is by far and away the absolute best Paleo bread I have had. The use of active dry yeast (see Is Yeast Paleo?) as a leavening agent completely changes the texture and the …
Graham Crackers
Sometimes my kids really, really miss their old staples. And while I have been known to say “I know you want a graham cracker, but how about a carrot instead?!”, it is somehow …
Spinach “Sore Leg” Brownies
We call these “Sore Leg Brownies” in my house because I developed them for my oldest daughter when she has having growing pains. She’s not a good eater (update: see this more …
Paleo Granola

These simple, slightly chewy chocolate-coconut squares are definitely for the coconut lovers out there. I find the sweetness from the mini chocolate chips is sufficient to …

Paleo Mayo and Ranch Dip
Once you master homemade Paleo mayonnaise (often called Paleonnaise), a whole new world of salad dressings and dips opens up to you. That’s why this recipe post is a two-for-one. …
Chocolate Cut-Out Cookies (Nut-Free)
Cut-out cookies are so much fun to make with the kids! I developed this recipe because we needed something “nut free” for all those places we go where we’re not allowed to bring …
Broccoli Banana Muffins (with chocolate chips)
Don’t be afraid. You can’t taste the broccoli very strongly. But it’s there, adding wonderful nutrition to these delicious broccoli banana muffins. Both my girls adore these …
Zucchini Muffins
I love cooking muffins full of vegetables (both when I can sneak vegetables in and when that vegetable is the star of the muffin). This recipe is based on my mother’s zucchini …
Guacamole

There are lots of recipes for kale chips out there. I got my initial recipe from a wonderful twitter follower @Paleoeater (who has a great blog full of delicious recipes). I have …
Paleo Club Crackers
My oldest daughter’s favorite food is cheddar cheese on club crackers. The cheese part doesn’t bother me, but the cracker part does! So, I’m on the hunt for a Paleo version of …
Paleo Chewy Granola Bars
I have played with homemade chewy granola bar recipes for about a year. I never did master my oat-based recipe, so I didn’t have the best of starting points for a Paleo version. …
Carrot-Parsnip Muffins
This recipe starts with the carrot cake recipe that my mom found in the archives while doing a paper on traditional French Canadian cuisine for a college paper. The original …
