I'm currently a student and I travel between my parents' home and my boyfriend's home multiple times per week. Their eating-habits aren't exactly bad, but they're not that great either. At my bf's it's usually me who cooks. I'm also reliant on homemade lunch because we don't have a cafeteria or restaurant near the school and even the supermarket is ridiculously small for the number of people frequenting it. We're lucky we have one microwave for a student-body of probably more than 500. Problem #1: Breakfast It takes me a long time to get going in the mornings, so I don't have

This is definitely my favorite paleo-friendly brownie recipe yet, and I've made about half a dozen variations so far. This could easily be made vegan with a substitution of bananas for the eggs and agave syrup for the honey! 1c Almond Butter (if no salt added, be sure to add 1/2 tsp salt to the recipe) 1 1/2c shredded zucchini 1/3c raw cacao powder 1/2c raw honey 2 eggs (medium) 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp baking soda Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste 1c dark chocolate chips (split in half) Pre-heat oven to 350 deg F In a food processor, combine all but half the chocolate chips until smooth Fold in

Scoop out small mounts and place on a cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours before serving.

Hey guys, I'm having a BBQ get together with a group of friends for the 4th of July. I'd like to make some type of Paleo dessert. What are some easy dessert ideas that would be good for a BBQ and that are Paleo? And what Paleo dishes are you making for your 4th of July celebration?

So I'm trying to eat PaleoISH for my first challenge, but I REALLY like sweets. Do you guys have any good recipes for those sweet cravings? I've tried some that are pretty bland. I know bananas have a ton of sugar in them, but a banana alone just doesn't scream dessert to me. Also, on a different note but still Paleo related, are white potatoes Paleo? I know sweet potatoes are, but I'm not a fan of those. . .

So, I come from a family that has always made desserts part of our weekly meal plan. I thought there's no harm in having a small piece, if I've saved up calories for it and had a smaller portion size and wasn't going over my sugar intake for the day, right? So I'd set one day a week when I could have something sweet and processed, while eating clean the rest of the week. But now I find that even just a couple bites in my stomach gets really upset and I can't finish it. I'm not sure why this is happening! Will I never be able to enjoy a brownie again?

So, after I've tried numerous times to find a good paleo pancake recipe and they usually ended up being a crumbly burned mess, I've finally found a recipe that made an amazing pancake! I wanted to a) write it down so I won't forget it and share it with you. Ingedients: 2 eggs 1 tablespoon of grass fed butter (you can probably substitute with coconut oil) 1 small, ripe banana, cut in small pieces. Some whole milk...about 1/4 of a cup (similarly, you can probably take almond milk for that) 4 tblspoons of coconut flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon stevia powder (you can probably do

Hey gang- I figured if anybody had a Paleo recipe for raspberry pie, the fine folk at Nerd Fitness would. I'm already planning on baking a Paleo apple pie next week from a recipe I found online, but my boyfriend is asking for raspberry pie and I can't seem to find anything. Does anyone have a recipe I could borrow for this? Or, barring an actual Paleo recipe, has anyone had any success substituting Paleo ingredients in a normal recipe? I'm specifically wondering about subbing in almond flour for regular flour. Thanks gang! ~Mighty_Mouse
