Nut Free Paleo / Keto Cinnamon Loaf

Nut Free Paleo / Keto Cinnamon Loaf
If you checked out my Nut Free Paleo Sandwich Bread recipe, you know that almonds are a no-go for me right now.

However, that is not the only reason I am playing around with nut free recipes. I know many schools don't allow nuts, so it is great to have some healthy baking alternatives for yourself and the kids...

Hormone Friendly Biscotti....And A 24 Hour Easter Special

Hormone Friendly Biscotti....And A 24 Hour Easter Special
Now, when it comes to the biscotti, I found this difficult as I was new to low-carb. I didn't really understand how to swap almond or coconut flour for conventional flour, what ratio of stevia and erythritol would be appropriate to use instead of sugar, etc.

But, this is where my amazing friend and mentor, Vanessa Romero saved the day!

Low-Carb Paleo Apple Crumble

Low-Carb Paleo Apple Crumble
For as long as I can remember, I have not been a cake fan. It just wasn't my thing. I often chose to have pie instead. Lemon meringue or apple were my favourite. Also, my mom's apple crisp was something I could devour in no time! Seriously, it was so delicious! I would often sneak into the pan to steal another bite - or three - when nobody was looking lol...

Paleo Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies

Paleo Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies
Brownies.  Delicious, chewy, fudgey, rich, brownies. These are my absolute favorite dessert! I blame this on my oldest brother, who from the moment I was allowed to bake, has asked for brownies. Since he moved out for college (he is 10 years older than I am), each visit has included a batch of brownies. He doesn’t even have to ask anymore lol! I dare say this tradition has been happening for over 20 years...

Lemon Curd

Lemon Curd
When I was a child, I never wanted a birthday cake - I wanted a birthday pie! I thought cake was too dry, the frosting too sweet and it just wasn't my thing. Truth be told, it still isn't. Most of the time, my parents got me a pie, and several times it was a lemon meringue pie. While I thought it was delicious, I would always scrape off the meringue. I thought it was gross -- again, I still do...

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I chose to use almond butter in this recipe instead of peanut butter as I know many people are allergic to peanuts. You can, however, use peanut butter if you prefer. The cookies are delicious either way...

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love to bake. I have for as long as I can remember. From time to time I like to use fruit to sweeten desserts. Not because I think stevia, erythritol or xylitol are unhealthy - simply to change it up and try something different.  

I also like to experiment with coconut flour only recipes as I know many people don't tolerant or need to avoid nuts.

Coconut also has a ton of health benefits. It is one of the most fibre rich foods available. Fibre is important for bowel motions, yes, but it has another really important function...
