There is something about chai that is just so comforting, especially in the morning when you want to ease gently into your day with some rich, warm flavors. But having to pick chai tea over coffee? Nonsense! Hey, this girl’s got priorities! So I decided to try blending those amazing flavors into a paleo breakfast bar. The result? Coffee and chai are happily co-existing in my life! The chai spice blend used to be a bit of a mystery to me – something magical that came inside a teabag, but it really is quite simple to get those flavors with a few spices that are likely sitting in your cupboard. A bit of cardamom, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and ginger and […]
Easy Freezer Recipes: Paleo Lemon Coconut Breakfast Bars
It has been a super busy time at our house since I last posted! Between my husband releasing his album and me launching my company, Eclair Lips (I make natural dessert-inspired lip balm – come check it out!), it feels like we’ve barely had a moment to soak it all in! It’s during times like these that I’m really thankful to have my freezer stocked with tonnes of meals so that we don’t have to spend much time in the kitchen to keep everyone fed. And the Paleo Lemon Coconut Breakfast Bars that I’m sharing with you today are one of my favorite easy freezer recipes not only as a quick grab-n-go in the morning, but a great little treat for […]
Easy Freezer Recipes: Paleo Chocolate Zucchini Breakfast Bars
When you spend your days at home with 2 kids, you need to get your jollies somehow. Want to know what my guilty pleasure is? I hide stuff. Like veggies. Like the zucchini in these Chocolate Zucchini Breakfast Bars. Yup, I fool everyone in my family into eating veggies with their chocolate when I make those – one of my signature easy freezer recipes that I want to share with you today. Ok, so they would probably eat them even if they knew, but I still keep it as my little secret. It’s a lot more exciting for me like that. Years and years ago, a good friend gave me a recipe for chocolate zucchini cake and it was good. […]
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Popovers
Hi. I am Candi from A Day in Candiland and I am excited to be here today with all of Sylvie’s readers. Most of us are really into fall foods right now, and they are some of my favorites. One of my favorite flavors for dessert recipes this time of year is pumpkin desserts. I could eat Pumpkin pie all year long. I made a spin off of it called Pumpkin Cream Cheese Popovers. They are warm and gooey and taste oh so pumpkiny. They are really simple to make and the cream cheese topping adds just enough sweetness to it. These would be great for breakfast or for dessert. They would also be a nice treat for a holiday party. They […]
Paleo Bat Poop Recipe
It’s almost Halloween, and I know what you’re thinking: “Sylvie, you’ve only posted two Halloween poop recipes. Is that really all you’ve got? This holiday still has SO much unexplored potential!”. And I’m here to tell you – I know. I know. But I’ve been busy. I’ve got other things to do than post a poop recipe every day. Busy doing what you’re wondering? Busy bakin’ some Paleo Bat Poop, that’s what! Bazinga! (OMG I have been wanting to use that word for SO LONG!) Of COURSE I have another Halloween poop recipe for you. Really, you think I’d let y’all down like that? (On a side note, I’ve also been busy ushering in a movement of Canadians saying “y’all”. […]
Poop Recipe: Paleo Witch Poop Nuggets
Halloween is pretty awesome. I mean, costumes, wigs, creepy decorations, severed fingers and fake blood. Oh, and the treats! It’s also the one time where people are encouraged to be as creative and often as gross as possible. So in the spirit of Halloween and all the weird stuff that comes with it, I have a very special poop recipe to share with you today – my Paleo Witch Poop Nugget Recipe. For starters, it’s not real poop. Sorry, I know I’ve done a few poop recipes before (like this one and this one, and if you’re still hanging around after those it is waaaaay too late to start turning up your nose now!) but I feel like I need […]
Empanadas with Butternut Squash Recipe
These flaky little pockets of pizza dough filled with creamy ricotta cheese and savory pumpkin or butternut squash puree are an easy fall recipe your family will love. Hi, I’m Sandy. I’m so excited to share this empanada with butternut squash recipe with all of you! Sylvie was nice enough to ask me to guest post today and share one of my favorite easy fall recipes from my own blog, Everyday Southwest. I have “re-vamped” it to make it even faster and easier than the original just in time for the busy months of fall that are coming our way. I mean really… we don’t always have the time to make dough from scratch! So, I know what you are thinking, […]
Paleo Pumpkin Poop Recipe
Now I know that when I shared my Unicorn Poop Recipe with you and told you it was super tasty, you probably didn’t believe me. But for reals, we gobbled them up so fast, the family was craving more in no time flat, so I had to get to work creating another poop recipe. Since it’s October, that means two things: there are lots of pumpkins all over the place, and Halloween is in everyone’s face. So why fight it – it’s the prime season for making Paleo Pumpkin Poop! The creation of another poop recipe So yes, while everyone out there was busy trying to create pumpkin spice heaven, I was busy in my kitchen, trying to picture a […]
Easy Freezer Recipes: French Canadian Baked Beans
My freezer is a magical box. Kinda like those neato food materializer thingees they had on Star Trek that would make any type of food appear on command. Ok, only difference is I had to make the stuff in the freezer myself. But when I wonder what’s for dinner, I open it up, and before me lies a selection of stuff we could eat, ready to go, you know, once you get past the frozen-solid-as-a-rock aspect of it. Nothing a few hours in a slow cooker or an oven can’t fix. There are lots of healthy options, but sometimes, when I’m really lucky, there’s some comfort food for those days when you just need a big hug in your belly. […]
Have I Got a Poop Recipe For You: Paleo Unicorn Poop Chews
Nope, my blog didn’t get hacked. I really do have a Paleo Unicorn Poop Recipe here for you today. Before you either a) click away or b) have me locked up, I need to tell you that these are chewy little treats and not real unicorn turds. Sorry, but if I came across some of those, I’d be heading for the Smithsonian, not the keyboard. What’s more, they are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo goodies. Why? Because that’s how I roll. Well today anyway. So let me back up a little, because I’m sure a lot of you are wondering why on earth I’m writing about this. Ok, I’m sure no one is terribly surprised, but it’s kind […]
