Grain Free & Corn free - Paleo "Cornbread" Muffins

When you hear "corn-free Cornbread" it sounds kind of crazy. I knew that it was possible for something to "taste" like cornbread even though it does not have corn in it. Before I realized foods were bothering me, I was trying to find a good vanilla cake recipe. One I tried had a huge cornbread taste. Everyone was like "why did you put cornmeal in this" well I hadn't. For whatever reason, somethings just taste like cornbread even though they don't have anything corn in them. That was my hope when I was trying to create "corn free" cornbread muffins.

These actually do have a "cornbread" taste. Which is good news for people who like cornbread but can't eat corn.

We have this meal that is the best with cornbread. It just wouldn't be the same without it. These are a PERFECT replacement for the "real" cornbread. They have a similar texture too! I am sure that you could put these among "real cornbread" and no one would think twice about it.

Paleo & Grain Free Sugar cookies

I have always enjoyed making roll-out sugar cookies. I created this recipe for a valentine's day treat. These have such a similar texture and taste, to the ones that I used to make. They have the perfect amount of softness/chewiness for me. I like my cookies to be on the soft side. You can bake them for longer if you like them crunchier.

Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie

I love this light simple key lime pie! It is so creamy and smooth and tastes so fresh, and doesn't make you feel heavy after eating it. You may worry that it will taste like avocados... I can honestly tell you that it does not. When you put avocados with something, like lime juice, all you can taste is the lime. But you get the creamy and smooth texture of the avocado that makes it so good! Paleo & Vegan Avocado Key Lime Pie Ingredients Crust Layer 1/2 C. Almonds(any other nut will work) 1/2 C.

How to Soak Cashews 3 different ways!

I have three ways that I have soaked cashews. They all have the same results. When I have the time, or I remember, I use the overnight method. But when you forget...it is nice to have other options! I found that raw or steam pasteurized cashews are the best for soaking. However any type of cashews will work. I have used roasted before, they just take a little longer to soak. So keep that in mind depending on what is available to you. Soaking Cashews Ingredients: cashews Water to cover Option 1) OVER NIGHT Place cashews in a glass jar or container and cover with water. Let soak in water for about 10-12 hours. They are fully soaked when they fall apart when you lightly squeeze them. Option 2) 3 HOURS Place cashews in a glass jar or container and cover with hot water. Let soak in water for about 3 hours, making sure to replace with new hot water every 30-45 minutes. They are full...
