Decadent Dessert

Sometimes special occasions call for a decadent dessert.  What’s a paleo diet follower to do?  Well……I choose to loosen my restrictions on sugar but still remain gluten-free and this dessert proved to be the perfect thing for a special treat.  The recipe calls for a 10″ springform pan which is so easy to use and makes a beautiful presentation.

Recipes from Guest Menu

Our menu for our recent guest visit was a big hit.  A few of the recipes were new so I’ll share them here.  They are all from the new Everyday Paleo book by Sarah Fragoso.  We did not end up making the Warm Sweet Potato Salad or the Walnut Dip on the original menu.  Below are the desserts and appetizers.

Tropical Macaroons

Made these cookies from Everyday Paleo yesterday.  They were delicious.  Shared some with the neighbors and they agreed!  I accidentally left out the coconut milk and used canned pineapple chunks, which I chopped with my food chopper.  They turned out great!

My little one had a great time separating the eggs with her hands!  For step by step pictures, see Sarah’s web site above.

Nutty Cookies

It is possible to have a little treat with the Paleo lifestyle and these soft “cookies” are a great thing to put in the kids’ lunch for a “dessert”.  From everydaypaleo.com, with edits.

Fried Apples

We make these apples once or twice a month and eat them for days.  They can be served with breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack and are a great way to distract the kids while they eat their veggies!  We have even served them as dessert.

Bedtime Blueberries

A great incentive for kids to eat their dinner, try this easy dessert recipe.
