One Bowl Grain-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

Many, many years ago I baked some peanut butter cookies for my dad.  My mom would always make chocolate chip cookies; but, I somehow thought peanut butter was more fitting.  Upon eating them he mentions to my mom how peanut butter cookies were his favorite.  Much to my mother’s chagrin, as she was always toldContinue reading “One Bowl Grain-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars”

Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy

This post will be short.  I made this zucchini brownie bread while I was in Arizona this summer.  It’s gluten-free, actually it’s grain-free.  In fact, it doesn’t rely on nut flours to bake.  I made this and decided the rest should go to my older brother Willy as he couldn’t have gluten.   I haveContinue reading “Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy”

Grain & Dairy Free Peach-Blueberry Cobbler

It’s still officially summer here, which means the girls have not returned to school, and we are still enjoying the peak of seasonal bounty in the form of blueberries and peaches.  I have to say when I see others IG accounts boasting of peaches in early July my heart sings a sad song.  That isContinue reading “Grain & Dairy Free Peach-Blueberry Cobbler”

Paleo Pumpkin Bread

Friends, I have tried desperately to like pumpkin pie.  I have heaped mounds of whipped cream a top it; but, maybe it’s due to the many bad ones I’ve been given growing up.  For starters, the crusts were always overcooked.  No, they were burnt.  And then there’s the whole pumpkin itself.   Could it beContinue reading “Paleo Pumpkin Bread”

Apple Crumb Tart (Grain & Dairy Free)

In college I lived in a house with nine other women.  Sometimes I wonder if this was God preparing this sister to brothers only for a daughter only household.  One thing I did find was what it is like to have sisters in a very communal living environment.  We would all put money into groceriesContinue reading “Apple Crumb Tart (Grain & Dairy Free)”

Grain-Free & Peanut Butter-Free Monster Cookies

I read this honest, vulnerable piece on overeating today and it struck a chord with me.  I was hit by how often I hear from someone, be it a close friend or acquaintance or reader, “Well Kamille, you eat really healthy!,” or, “Oh, Kamille has a blog where she talks about food and hospitality, andContinue reading “Grain-Free & Peanut Butter-Free Monster Cookies”

How a Sourdough Cashew Bread & I Met

I’ve been salivating over The Urban Poser’s sourdough cashew bread for a while, but I haven’t had time to make it.  That is until now.  And all I can wonder is, “why haven’t I done this long before?”   Yesterday I processed the raw, organic cashews with filtered water.  Then, added the probiotic (mine wasContinue reading “How a Sourdough Cashew Bread & I Met”

Kumquat Olive Oil Celebration Cake (Practices of Eating)

I do believe the beginnings of Spring are meant to be deeply breathed in.  While Fall calls us to make roots and hunker down, pulling out the warm quilts and hearty pot for stews…it is in the melting of frost, the saplings bursting and hidden tarragon you knew not was there.   Lent is preparingContinue reading “Kumquat Olive Oil Celebration Cake (Practices of Eating)”

Chocolate Beet Cupcakes (Grain-free)

Standing around the large table in Home Economics, we all listened to Mrs. Haile speak on the glories of cake.  She told us how one cake recipe had a secret ingredient in it we wouldn’t likely see in a recipe.  Leaving us all guessing what could possibly it?  When it came time to form groups,Continue reading “Chocolate Beet Cupcakes (Grain-free)”

Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache

Although it is Ash Wednesday by the time most of you will read this (which I apologize for posting a chocolate cupcake recipe); but, I remade these little wonders from an earlier recipe I have here and wanted to update it.  What I found was this original post was my reflections on Lent three yearsContinue reading “Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache”
