Cake Batter Cookie Recipe
This year the kids and I are participating in a large cookie exchange. We tested TONS of recipes (no one was complaining) and found the perfect ones! These cookies are so simple. With only four ingredients they really are amazing. I tested these out on my co-workers, friends at Thanksgiving and the neighbors and they were a hit! It’s very simple. Buy a box of cake mix, add ingredients and bake. That’s it. They are guaranteed to turn out soft and chewy every time! We tied SEVERAL combinations and we liked them all. I am really convinced that you can not go wrong with any combination! Cake batter cookie recipe!…

Fudgy sweet potato brownies!
MMM. Brownies. Chewy, fudgy, thick chocolate goodness. We have tried several “paleo” brownies and just could not get into the texture or the taste of them so we decided to try our hand at Sweet Potato Brownies. We had an abundance of purple sweet potatoes lying around so we used those instead of the traditional orange ones. They don’t taste any different, but it does make the brownies LOOK darker instead of the orange tinge the traditional sweet potatoes give. I was a little skeptical of these when I was whipping up this recipe, but the results were awesome. The only regret is not having some raw milk on hand…

Pocket S’mores!
Pocket S’mores These little treats came about because we did not have graham crackers on hand when we started the fire! We really try to stay away from all gluten and grain when we started eating Paleo foods 8 months ago. I saw some gluten-free graham crackers at Natural Grocers and they were just so expensive and it has been my experience that most store-bought gluten-free products don’t taste that great anyway. So we skipped them and came up with our own version of S’mores that we actually love more than the traditional version! You can use chocolate bars in the middle or anything else you can come up with!…

I substituted some ingredients and let me tell you, these cookies…

Paleo Nutella
My son LOVES Nutella, but the ingredients in Nutella are not good for him. I decided to use what I had on hand and try to make my own Nutella! Now, Nutella is made from Hazelnuts, and the only thing I had on hand was Cashews and Pecans. They worked just fine! Since I had never made this before I don’t have an actual recipe… but I can tell you that I used my Omega Juicer and my Ninja Blender to blend, crush and turn the nuts (pecan and cashew) into butter. I then added 1 tablespoon 100% special dark cocoa powder. -Add raw honey to taste. However sweet you…

Chocolate covered Moonshine cherries with vanilla bean cream center! Think that was a mouth full??? Wait until you have tried these AMAZINGLY delicious, easy to make, home made cordial cherries!
