Cake anyone?

It is no secret - WE LOVE CAKE. As ridiculous as it sounds, one of my biggest concerns about removing sugar and grains from our diet was that we would no longer be able to enjoy such indulgence. Certainly in the beginning I was at a loss as to how I could bake anything near as tasty as we were used to, but now that Petite Kitchen is on the scene all my worries are over.  This Almond, Raspberry and Coconut Cake is simply divine.  Just the right amount of sweetness from the nutritional goodness of honey and a lovely crunchy coconutty topping.

Muffins and things

So I have been experimenting with muffins over the weekend.  The first batch were not that impressive. So many ingredients and some of them questionable as to whether or not they were even Primal let alone Paleo - baking powder, xanthum gum? What do you think?

Anyhoo, I made another batch following a much simpler recipe, made a few changes (again with the baking powder) and ended up with a pretty good muffin.  I topped it with olives, sun-dried tomatoes and feta, which I had actually intended on mixing in with the batter.  Oh well.  These were coconut flour based and even have a pretty good taste on day two.  Might be a winner!

And just like that

A chance conversation, followed by another and another and all of a sudden it looks like we're in business.  I'll share the details soon, but it looks like exciting times ahead!
