Paleo Walnut BrowniesI don't know anyone who doesn't LOVE brownies. But go Paleo ... and Gluten Free ... and you feel they COULD be out of reach. Along with pizza, pasta, pie and ... y'know ... all those comfort foods you've learned to love. But here's a brownie recipe to die for ... and Paleo to boot!
Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes with PecansYou can make these crunchy (due to the surprise of the cacao nibs), moist Paleo gems with the pecans on top as written. Or frost them with your favorite Paleo frosting. Either way, you'll have a hard time keeping them in the house!
Paleo Chocolate No-Bake “Cheesecake”This recipe is almost verbatim from Kelsey Ale's cookbook, Paleo Sweets, and is dairy- and gluten-free. I took it to my Qigong teacher's farewell practice (Boo Hoo ... she's moving to Portland) in the park near the Rose Bowl (yes, I live near there!). It was devoured! Can you guess what the filling is (besides the tons of chocolate)? Bet you can't ...
Rice Pudding with Agave SyrupMy father LOVED rice pudding so I've probably been loving it too since I could eat solid food. A brief online search revealed this simple recipe which I'm sharing with you today.
I'm sensitive to cane sugar. So I've been using alternatives like agave and coconut nectars and stevia for ages!
<span class="ILfuVd">But agave syrup is even much higher in fructose than plain sugar. So it has a higher potential for causing adverse health effects, such as increased belly fat and fatty liver disease</span>
So I'd recommend using coconut nectar or maple syrup ... or even Lakanto ... a BRAND-NEW monkfruit sweetener I found (actually ... it's not that new ... I recently spotted it on my regular supermarket shelf).
Any way you sweeten it, this recipe is not only simple ... it's scrumptious, especially when you steam up a bunch of different kinds of rice together. My fave ... brown jasmine and red rices.
You could also vary the dried fruit ... try currants or diced apricots instead of the raisins. Any way you make it ... Eat it up!
