Strawberry Rhubarb Cream Tart

Today I was craving raw strawberries for mental clarity. These babies caught my eye, gorgeous and full of flavor! Then I saw the fresh rhubarb. That clinched it. Be sure to use organic strawberries, as they tend to absorb atrocious amounts of pesticides. Strawberries are one of the “Dirty Dozen” foods to always buy organic. I’m surprised many so-called healthy groceries still sell strawberries raised with pesticides. ...

Flourless Almond Blender Bread

A super-easy bread with unbelievable flavor, this high-protein loaf is Paleo, grain-free, and gluten-free. Even better, it's FLOURLESS, so it cleans your intestines as it nourishes your body. Yep, all flours are perishable (even almond and coconut flour) becoming stale or rancid a few weeks after grinding. Flours tend to get stuck in the intestinal wall as mucoid plaque, a gluey substance that creates bulges and belly flab. We don't want that! ...

Paleo Chocolate Apple Gingerbread Muffins

Today I just couldn't help it! I NEEDED healthy dark gingerbread with REAL blackstrap molasses. Sadly, molasses is 100% sugar (toxic), not Paleo.
