If you love brownies, you’re in luck, because these are amazingly decadent. When it comes to brownies, mine have to have a chewy and fudgy texture. That’s pretty difficult to achieve without a large quantity of eggs, butter, and sugar, but after numerous attempts, I think I came up with a pretty delicious solution. Almond meal provides plenty of fat and fiber to these chewy grain-free brownies, while coconut sugar offers a low-glycemic alternative to traditional white sugar....

Whenever I make this chicken curry, my 8-year-old daughter runs into the kitchen asking what that “amazing smell” is. Your kitchen can smell like this, too. It took a few attempts to perfect this recipe, but it was worth the effort because you’ll end up with a restaurant-quality sauce using ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. Just don’t skip the additions at the end, which round out the flavor....

When it comes to our Thanksgiving dinner, the bowl of stuffing on the table is more important than the turkey. This year, we’ll be serving this grain-free stuffing. Rather than relying on almond flour to create a mock-bread stuffing, this version relies solely on fresh vegetables and herbs! Dry roasted parsnips act as the bread-like cubes, keeping this recipe lower in carbohydrates and fat than traditional recipes, which often call for a loaf of dry bread and a stick of butter....

I don’t know why I thought I could swap turkey for ground beef in our favorite taco recipe. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t taste the same. (And my kids weren’t happy about it.) That’s why I spent the past few months testing these ground turkey tacos. I wanted them to be as easy to prepare as our usual tacos, without a glaring “turkey” flavor. It took numerous attempts to get the seasoning right, but now I’m thrilled with the taste....

Have you ever tried homemade hazelnut butter? All you need is one simple ingredient (hazelnuts!) and a little bit of patience. This hazelnut butter recipe is the result of having leftover hazelnuts after making homemade nutella and my favorite chocolate hazelnut smoothie .

If you like coconut, you’re in luck. I actually wasn’t much of a coconut fan until recently, but I’m doing my best to make up for lost time… by eating plenty of these coconut-filled truffles. My grandma has always been the coconut enthusiast of our family, so much so that we can’t even share an assorted box of chocolates with her–> she’s famous for sticking her thumb into the bottom of each one, looking for only the coconut-filled pieces....

It may sound hard to believe, but you can make a delicious, perfectly fluffy muffin without using flour, oil, or refined sugar. It’s magical! These muffins originated years ago when I was experimenting with my almond butter blondie recipe . I was trying to make them with a different sweetener, and accidentally added an extra egg to the batter, but the result was amazingly fluffy. I knew they had to be turned into muffins!...

Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes are naturally gluten-free and incredibly easy to prepare. You don’t need any specialty flours to make them, and you can bake the whole batch at once for a fast breakfast. It’s such a game-changer! Yes, you read that right. Baked pancakes. Inspired by my original Paleo pancakes, these flourless pumpkin pancakes are made with pumpkin puree and almond butter. You can cook them in a skillet if you’d like to, but I find them a little more fragile than a traditional pancake, so it’s much more fool-proof if you just bake the whole batch at once....

This homemade version is naturally dairy-free, and can be used in nearly any recipe calling for traditional sweetened condensed milk, adding a hint of rich, coconut flavor to the final result....

When you want a breakfast without eggs, this tofu scramble is a delicious alternative. It’s made with sauteed peppers, onions, and spinach, and it comes together quickly. While I usually think of a scramble for breakfast, we’ve also enjoyed it for a fast dinner! The key to making tofu look like a breakfast scramble is adding turmeric for a yellow hue.

When I walked into my kitchen this afternoon, I had no intention of making cheesy crackers. To be honest, I’ve never really considered myself much of a cracker person. I’m definitely more of a chip person, and this recipe is the result of a failed attempt at “homemade Doritos” for the Superbowl this weekend. With most of our friends still experimenting with a Paleo-style diet, I thought a grain-free, non-processed chip might be appreciated for the big game....

Over the past 15 years, I’ve experimented with different flavors, like chocolate, peanut butter, strawberry, and even cookie dough. Be sure to try all of the variations below!...
