Blueberry Pancake Scones
I'm not going to lie to you - I do love a good pastry. Nice, warm, and right out of the oven - it doesn't get much better than that. Especially first thing in the morning.
I thought my pastry days were long over until I got comfortable with Paleo-style baking. Honestly, it can be a bit expensive to buy all of the ingredients - and time consuming - but when you want a treat, I think it's totally worth it.
If you’re looking to replace your coffee shop scone with a healthier version, look no further. These are healthy, but more importantly, delicious.
This recipe utilizes almond and coconut flour as well as maple syrup and ...

Our Favorite Green Smoothie Recipes
This Sunday is Saint Patrick's Day. I don't know about you, but holidays give a great excuse to celebrate. And I love to celebrate anything and everything.
The holiday originates from Ireland and celebrates Saint Patrick - the patron saint of the country.
Nowadays, the holiday is celebrated across the country by Irish and non-Irish alike with parades and feasts. People don their green, eat their green foods, and drink their green drinks.
While many of my friend may choose green beer as their drink of choice - I'll be opting for something a little healthier instead.
There's seriously not a more perfect day of the year to whip ...

Lemon Cucumber Mint Spritzer
Let's be honest - we could all use a little more H2O in our lives.
I am a total fan of plain water. As a kid, my parents really didn't keep have soda in the house. Our staples were milk (my dad had deep roots in dairy farming, so we always had gallons of milk in the fridge) and water.
Because of this, I've never had trouble getting in enough water. I've never found it boring. I never had to struggle giving up sugary drinks. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
But I realize that this probably isn't the norm. When first making the transition to paleo, many people have told me just how hard it is to give up those sugar-filled beverages.
Therefore, we have ...

Crispy Paleo Battered Cod
Do you ever get a craving for crispy, crunchy fish sticks? This is going to become your go-to recipe when that craving hits.
Your traditional battered fish recipe usually utilizes gluten-filled flours, beer, and junky oils. Our recipe knocks that stuff off the list and sticks to all Paleo ingredients - tapioca starch, coconut flour, olive oil, and our secret ingredient - sparkling water!
My favorite way to eat this meal is with a ton of veggies on the side. I love roasting broccoli in the oven or sautéing green beans in a skillet with some bacon. Add in some roasted sweet potatoes and sliced avocado and you have a full-blown meal ...

Slow Cooker Strawberry Jam
Jam is one of those foods that takes me back to my childhood. It makes me think of the packed lunches that I would take to school - peanut butter and Smuckers strawberry jam on white bread cut diagonally.
Ah, nostalgia.
Sometimes I still crave that combination - which was the inspiration for this strawberry jam. This one's a more grown-up version than Smuckers though :)
With fresh strawberries, dates, and chia seeds, this jam is nutrient-packed. And here's the best part - no added sugar!
If you ever get a craving for those old-school pb&j's, this is the perfect upgrade. Add in some almond butter and Paleo friendly bread, and ...
