I recently had a request for a grain free version of the no bake haystack cookies that are usually made with oats. My first thought was that coconut would be a great substitute for the oats. I decided to use a combination of the shredded coconut and the flakes to give it more of the…
Toasted Coconut Muddy Buddies
One of my all time favorite desserts around the holidays is Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow. If you’re not familiar with Muddy Buddies/Puppy Chow it’s a recipe that covers Chex Cereal with cocolate and peanut butter and then coats it in powdered sugar. Of course I needed to lower the carbs on this holiday treat. …
Almond Butter Balls
One of my favorite recipes is No Bake Almond Butter Bars. This time I wanted to go closer to the original recipe that uses graham cracker crumbs and use some of my Homemade Grain-Free Graham Cracker Crumbs. If you make up the graham cracker crumbs ahead of time you can easily whip the Almond Butter…
Asian Style “Noodles” (Low Carb and Paleo)
It’s always good to have a variety of ways to prepare vegetables so that you do not get stuck in a rut. I have really enjoyed spaghetti squash this winter, but I usually end up just making spaghetti with it. I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and make an Asian style noodle…
Chocolate Almond Butter Pie (Low Carb and Dairy Free)
Now that my Whole30 is over, I decided to indulge a little and make some treats for Valentine’s Day. Today I’m sharing my Chocolate Almond Butter Pie recipe. The creamy almond butter filling goes perfectly with the chocolate crust. The pie can be made with your favorite nut butter and can be made either…
Chocolate Almond Butter Truffles (Low Carb and Dairy Free)

I’ve really been in the mood to make holiday treats lately. Maybe next week I’ll do some savory dishes. There are just so many parties and gatherings…
No Bake Almond Butter Bars (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
No Bake Almond Butter Bars One of the desserts I used to make all the time was Peanut Butter Bars. Last year I created a low carb version that was delicious, but still required baking to make the “graham cracker” crumbs. This year I wanted to create a no bake version and I also wanted…
Chocolate Dipped Almond Butter Cookies (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
I’ve seen variations of these cookies all over Pinterest that are normally made with Peanut Butter and sugar (or Splenda). Making these cookies reminded me of the first time I saw the recipe. I had just graduated from college and my diet consisted of basically the following: fried chicken, pizza, chicken tenders, fries, and lots…
Moose Tracks Ice Cream (Low Carb, Gluten Free, and Dairy Free)
My birthday was right around the time I started the Whole30, so I wasn’t able to try out the awesome ice cream maker my fiance bought me. I didn’t jump right back into eating sweets after the Whole30, but after a long week of traveling and being away from my kitchen I just had to…
Almond Butter Cups (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
I used the following ingredients for Low Carb Almond Butter (or any nut butter) Cups: 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/2 cup powdered sweetener (I used Swerve Confectioners’ Style) 1/2 cup almond butter, divided Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners and poor enough chocolate into each liner to cover…
