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.

Grain free and Paleo Crepes

Crepes are something that we make for breakfast on every birthday. I couldn't go without crepes, because they are a family tradition.  I created this recipe to be similar to the crepes I used to eat. They taste SO good! They are so easy to make, just blend all the ingredients together and your done!  Grain free and Paleo Crepes   Makes 12-14 crepes Ingredients 6 Eggs  1 C. Dairy Free Milk (I use either coconut or almond)  2 Tablespoons melted Coconut Oil 3 1/2 Tablespoons Coconut  Flour  1/2 + 1 Tablespoon Almond Flour  2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Starch  3/4 teaspoon Salt Instructions Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.  Preheat grill, or pan on medium-low heat. Grease your grill or pan with coconut oil.  Pour 1/4 to 1/3 C. of batter on your grill or pan. You will know when they are ready to flip when the top is no longer shiny. Once flipped they don't take very long to cook. I use a pancake spatula to flip these.      Serve

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.
