Coconut Flour Apple Cinnamon Muffins Recipe (Grain Free)

October 17, 2018 by Katie Wells

I discovered this grain-free apple cinnamon muffin recipe out of desperation, really. (Isn’t it so true that necessity is the mother of invention?) On this particular morning I realized I only had five eggs in the fridge — not even close to enough to feed us all, especially when each kid could easily eat three each! I …

Coconut Mango Popsicles (With Probiotics)

July 24, 2018 by Katie Wells

Making popsicles from scratch is always on our summer bucket list and now that the kids are older, one they handle on their own.

Fudgy Paleo Avocado Brownies

July 4, 2018 by Katie Wells

There’s nothing like a rich and delicious dessert that you also know is good for you! Since avocado is filled with healthy fats, it’s the perfect sneaky substitute for butter in these fudgy brownies. If you are skeptical about making brownies with avocado, don’t be. I promise, you won’t even be able to tell it’s in there! …

Coconut Chocolate No-Bake Cookies Recipe

April 26, 2018 by Katie Wells

I don’t make desserts often, but when I do, we usually stick to low or no-sugar options like chia seed pudding. Still, my kids had been asking to help create some new blog recipes (since I try to let them help out in the kitchen as much as possible) and I remembered the no-bake cookies I used to …

Healthy Homemade Chocolate Recipe

March 27, 2018 by Katie Wells

If there’s one guilty pleasure all moms enjoy, it’s wine chocolate! Thankfully there’s a way to justify indulging a little because chocolate (like wine) has some fantastic health benefits. The key is to choose quality chocolate from the right sources … or make your own homemade chocolate. It’s easy and you have total control over …

Dairy-Free Panna Cotta Recipe

February 12, 2018 by Katie Wells

Panna cotta (Italian for “cooked cream”) is a delicious dessert that originated in northern Italy. It is made from simmering a mixture of cream, milk, and sugar (and don’t forget the fresh vanilla bean!) and then adding gelatin and chilling until set. I’ve also dressed up this dessert for special occasions (like a date night in) …

Candy and sugary desserts are not a food eaten very often by my family. My husband doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, and we attempt to avoid sugar as much as possible. But occasionally when the kids are craving sweets, or if we’re out somewhere where candy and other junk food is around, I …

Family Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipe (Dairy & Gluten Free)

November 17, 2016 by Katie Wells

What would Thanksgiving (or fall!) be without something pumpkin? Whether it is a spiced pumpkin latte or pumpkin pie, the taste and scent of pumpkin is a perfect companion to cool fall weather.

How to Make Chia Seed Pudding

The Best Chia Seed Pudding Recipe (+ 5 Delicious Variations)

August 30, 2016 by Katie Wells

I love chia seeds and use them all the time. Chia seeds are mini powerhouses packing more calcium than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries, and more omega-3 than salmon. Their texture can take a little getting used to, but they are very versatile and are a great protein-packed addition to many recipes because of their …

Gingerbread Cookies Recipe with Dates & Molasses

December 22, 2015 by Katie Wells

I’ve never been much of a cookie-maker, but one year the kids requested gingerbread cookies. They’d been visiting friends and making gingerbread houses. Since I was trying to find a way to incorporate molasses and dates (for a shorter labor) into my daily diet, the idea of gingerbread cookies sounded pretty good. So I started …

October 9, 2015 by Katie Wells

You know that whole “don’t judge a book by its cover” thing? I’ve always been pretty decent about that when it actually comes to books, but pretty terrible when it comes to food (especially when I was younger). One bad experience with a certain food could turn me off of that food for months or …

Strawberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe

July 23, 2015 by Katie Wells

My kids have been begging for ice cream lately, and since many of our family summer activities involve getting outside in the heat and humidity, I decided an inside project of learning to make coconut milk ice cream would be a fun break.

Vanilla Gluten-Free Cake Recipe

July 17, 2015 by Katie Wells

I normally don’t share many dessert recipes, but that is because I don’t often make dessert.

We love all things coconut at our house. We have 101 ways to use coconut oil including homemade toothpaste, coffee, homemade lotion bars, and more.

Grain-Free Pecan Pie Recipe

January 8, 2014 by Katie Wells

Over the holidays, I experimented a lot with recipes for pecan pie. Pecan pie is one of my dad’s favorites and since he went grain free, he has missed this on holidays. I also was obviously not going to use the high fructose corn syrup and regular corn syrup that are in most pecan pie …

Ten Minute Peach Cobbler- healthy recipe and so good

10 Minute Peach Cobbler

June 28, 2012 by Katie Wells

I love peach season! Peaches are one of those fruits that aren’t nearly as good when they aren’t in season, so we typically just eat them (a lot of them!) when they are. (If peaches aren’t in season, this recipe can be made with berries or other soft fruit, or you can try this berry …
