RAW Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

If you follow me on Facebook, you must’ve anticipated this post. I promised to create an awesome Paleo cheesecake to honor National Cheesecake Day. So…tadaaaa! I am super pumped for this one. I love, love, love cheesecake. Cheesecake is one of the things I miss the most while on the Paleo Diet. It’s creaminess, richness… Continue reading RAW Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

It has been FOREVER since my last blog post. I’ve missed you all so much. I’ve been so busy, but it’s still no excuse to not share my recipes with all of you. Bad Mariel.

I’ll be sharing a wonderfully rich chocolate treat today. Not only are these RAW Chocolate & Raspberry Bars sweet and chewy…they also keep fresh a long time (you’ll keep them in your freezer the entire time, only taking them out a minute or two before having a bar). If you’re not too crazy about raspberries, you can easily substitute… Continue reading RAW Chocolate & Raspberry Bars

Strawberry Coconut Blondies

I just made these lovely little treats. Aren’t they super cute?

They are fun to eat, cute looking, sweet, nutty and very… Continue reading Strawberry Coconut Blondies

Chicken Curry Salad

My mother has a recipe for a killer non-Paleo carrot cake. She’ll bake it for most social gatherings she goes to, taking it as a gift (she is so sweet and generous – love you, mom). That carrot cake is her signature dessert. Everyone always raves about it.  People will have second servings every time,… Continue reading Chicken Curry Salad

It takes no time to make, which makes it perfect for those nights when time is limited and the family is hungry. The maple and… Continue reading Orange-Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Paleo Granola Bars

Aren’t snacks on-the-go ideal? I love having a quick nutritious treat ready to go for when I find myself in a hurry. It is so great to have something already prepared that won’t spill, wont smell, wont be weird to pull out while in meetings, and that will just hit the spot perfectly. I highly… Continue reading Paleo Granola Bars
