Tis the season for candy, candy canes, candy corn and maple syrup(bonus points if you know what movie that is from)! And if you’re like me, you squeeze cookies onto that list as well.
Like orange cardamom cookies.
Dipped in chocolate.
That are also paleo AND vegan.
If you need me i’ll be over here eating cookies.

Sometimes on Mondays all you really need is a little cake. Like this Chai Banana Snack Cake. Paleo, grain free, dairy free and absolutely delicious.
Don’t you love how it’s called a “snack” cake. It makes eating cake as a snack any time of the day legitimate. Now I’m just waiting for the lunch cake and dinner cake trend to take off and I’m all set.
Semantics aside, this cake is moist, tender, flavourful and only has 2 tbsp of maple syrup in the whole thing! (what?!). It’s also full of chai spices like cardamom and cinnamon which smell amazing while it’s baking. I feel like I could even call this recipe a “breakfast cake” because it definitely seems like a nice breakfast treat.
Are you ready to give it a go?
So, this is my last peach recipe for the year and I am going out with a bang! It’s cobbler time!! Juicy peaches, sweet blueberries, fresh basil, all baked together with grain free, vegan biscuits on top. Top with ice cream and you have a darn good dessert! Are you ready to give it a go?

Nobody likes flaky friends. Unless of course these friends are in galette form. Then give me ALL the flakiness.
Who knew you could have flaky crust while being paleo as well?
And guess what inter web friends? Making a galette, although it seems intimidating, is actually really easy. Promise.
A galette is kind of like a pie’s younger, hippie friend that is totally rustic and fuss free. It can be messy and yet it still looks incredibly cool and beautiful. This galette in particular is sweet, tart and bursting with strawberry and lemon flavour packed in a ghee almond flour crust.
Are you ready to give it a go?

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I am celebrating with cake. Paleo birthday cake to be exact. Who else makes their own cake? I’m not mad about it. I just like my cake, my way. So, here we have a delicious, moist, fluffy cake with a dense, fudgy and thick icing. Are you digging it? Read on.
Strawberry season is officially upon us in Ontario (try this Strawberry Avocado Salad and this Strawberry Hibiscus Honey Shrub) and I can’t get through the season without making a strawberry rhubarb crisp at least once. I mean, CAN YOU BLAME ME? It just screams summer and warm weather, and happy feelings and mornings on the porch in the sunshine. Basically, strawberry rhubarb crisp makes me love my life.
And while I know I can be a little extra when it comes to food, sometimes it is totally worth it. Like when you add coconut cream to strawberry rhubarb crisp (apparently I have this thing about adding coconut milk to recipes to make them delicious). But trust me ok, the one more step is totally worth it. You can be in the extra club as well. We have more fun. And we have cake (paleo, gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free of course.)
Let’s do this!
