Aaaah, coffee cake! The image conjures up memories from weekends during our childhood, when we’d get something special for breakfast. That moist cake and crumb topping (cue the mouth watering). And in the fall and winter, there’s nothing better than combining coffee cake with THE...
What do you do when you have a bunch of super-ripe bananas sitting on your counter?
Make BANANA BREAD!
But not any old banana bread will do.
Chocolate. It must have chocolate.
This recipe comes together very quickly and is sweetened with just the ripe bananas. Yes, you read...
Figs are now in season, and we are doing our happy dance! It’s time to make our famous Paleo Almond Flour Fig Cake!
If you like or love figs, then read on. If you don’t, then read on, as this recipe can use almost any summer or fall fruit.
While dried figs are available...
We love tacos. Being from Southern California and Arizona, it just kind of makes sense.
But a taco, to us, is kind of like a blank canvas. You can pretty much throw anything together and wrap it in a grain-free tortilla, and it’s going to taste amazing! Our favorite grain-free tortillas are...
Mmmmmm…muffins. Fresh, warm, banana chocolate chunk mini muffins. They’re the perfect one-biter that makes you feel all warm and happy. So much so, that you reach for another. And another.
Can’t stop. Won’t stop. But that’s ok because these are not your...

Smoothies. Cold. Creamy. Delicious. Refreshing.
What comes to mind when you think about smoothies?
Smoothies are great because they whip up so darn quickly and can make a great breakfast on-the-run as well as a nourishing post-workout meal. You can have your clean carbs, lean protein, and healthy...
Smoothies. Those fruity, refreshing, icy-cold beverages that just scream, “summer.” But if you buy the ones at the market or from the local smoothie shoppe, you could be taking in far more calories and sugar than you bargained for. And on top of that, you could be short-changing...
When going grain-free, gluten-free, or low carb, one of the things we hear most from our clients is, “What? No bread?”
After talking them off the ledge (kidding), we explain why gluten and grains can prevent them from achieving their health and wellness goals, especially if they are...
Oh granola! How we love you so! You’re crunchy and sweet. But we have to break up with you because you have too much sugar and far too many carbs. We need a better balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fat. And we need something grain-free (for those of us who don’t tolerate grains)....
An apple a day keeps the doctor away! And now that it’s fall, we are loving all of the organic apples available in the market and farmer’s market (where you will find many more varieties!).
And what pairs better with apples than peanut butter? Naturally, we had to make a nutritious...
When you think of muffins, what’s the first thought that comes to mind?
Yummy? Comfort food? Calorie and sugar bomb?
All of those are right on the money. So how do we come up with a recipe that maintains the yummy taste and comfort food memories without it being a calorie and...
