Paleo gluten free muffins that aren’t a crumbly mess?
The struggle is real. And so is this recipe. Paleo Orange Date muffins that are moist, tender and sweetened only with dates and freshly squeezed orange juice!! Huge win.
I am obsessed with these muffins and have been making them repetitively. You know, I had to make sure they were *perfect* for the blog. Are you ready to give them a go?
Let’s do this!!

Have you ever had a cookie that tastes like an almond butter and jam sandwich? Because this cookie is just that.
This is a paleo and vegan thumbprint cookie made with almond butter and raspberry chia jam and it is deee-lish-ous.
They are doughy (if you have come for a crunchy cookie move along please) and not too sweet. Filled with a tart raspberry jam and drizzled with just the right amount of chocolate and I cannot stop eating them. *quietly sneaks into the kitchen for another cookie, or six*
And guess what? They are perfect for your holiday cookie swap or as a gift! Let’s give them a go!
Cobblers are officially my new thing.
And savoury cobblers are my newer new thing and basically what I am planning on eating ALL. WINTER. LONG.
Can you blame me with the creamy cooked winter vegetables and doughy biscuits? This is what my comfort food dreams are made of! (even if they are vegan and paleo comfort food dreams!)

Can we talk about breakfast for a moment? I love breakfast (even when I have it for dinner) but I must admit that what my breakfast looks like has changed dramatically over the last few years.
When I was in university the vast majority of my diet was sugar (ummm Lucky Charms for breakfast and Sour Patch Kids for lunch). Obviously not the optimal diet! Moving on after university in my attempt to eat healthier I consumed a lot of toast, fruit, and skim milk- which also ended up not being optimal for me. As I got older and more intentional about what I was putting in my body I started experimenting with loaded bowls of oatmeal- I would cram these bowls full of ground flax/chia, hemp seeds, nut butters, goji berries, fresh fruit, berries and superfoods. These bowls were filled with awesome but honestly never left me feeling great. So, I decided I had to move away from sweet and onto savoury.
Over Christmas we travelled to Lithuania to spend the holidays with Algis’ family. Being my second visit to Lithuania I was well prepared with all of my Labas’ and Acius’. My first time I was in Lithuania was summer, three years ago, so the days were much shorter and the sun significantly lower this time around- but it still had all of its charm.
We visited Vilnius (our home base for the trip), Kaunas, Palanga, Druskininkai (a spa town) and Klaipeda. We only had ten days so tried to optimize our time between family, sightseeing, and total relaxation. I wanted to share some of my highlights from the trip, and a few of my favourite pictures.

It’s time to get in one last cookie recipe in before it’s the new year and you swear off eating cookies for another 3 months! These cookies aren’t the worst thing for you- they are gluten free, grain free and use coconut sugar instead of refined sugar- but they are still a treat, so enjoy them! Are you ready to get baking?
