My Story

Hi!  Welcome to my blog! 

I started this blog because I love to bake and cook! I have been baking ever since I can remember. I was a cake decorator, and made my first wedding cake at 12, and a second one at age 13.


 At 16 I found out I had multiple food allergies and and extreme sensitivities. I am allergic to potato, fish, and hazelnuts. And am very sensitive to gluten, dairy, corn, sugar, soy and all grains.

Even with all of those I have figured out how to match what my family eats. Because of my passion for making food, I could not put baking and cooking aside because of diet changes. I have done a lot of research on how to use different flours and ingredients to make things I grew up eating.

Another reason I started this blog is because I hope to encourage people who are having reactions to food, that although it is not easy, it is well worth it to change your diet to feel better. Food is still amazing even though it does not contain gluten! 

Although most of my recipes are Paleo, I am not . It is a diet close to what I eat because of food allergies and sensitivities, but I don't follow the guidelines for a Paleo diet. So that is why you will see a few recipes that are not paleo friendly. :)



Sincerely, 

Koryn Miles

Grain & Dairy free Peanut Butter Bars

These are dairy, gluten, grain, and refined sugar free! Enjoy!  These are the real deal! I love chocolate and peanut butter, so these are  a must have for me! They are so similar to peanut butter cups you buy at the store! These are my go-to treats, they are so fast and easy to make. I will just whip a batch up whenever I want a treat! They are a great on the go dessert, just press the layers in a plastic container and stick the lid on, let set in the freezer, and bring where you need to go!    I like these best at room temperature, they are creamier and richer. But don't leave them out for very long, the coconut oil in the chocolate layer will melt :) I made these the other day with crunchy peanut butter, they were so good!  Peanut Butter Bars Makes 16 squares       Peanut Butter Layer  Heaping 3/4 C.
