Key Lime Pie

So my wife asked me a while back what my favorite dessert was that I missed from years past when we did not eat a Paleo diet. I responded with my all-time childhood favorite: key lime pie. Fast forward to this past weekend, and a prior attempt later, we have have a full Paleo key lime pie that will rival even the toughest pie critics. And thanks to my wife’s hard work and dedication, she nailed the flavor, texture, and scent of fresh homemade key lime pie.

Orange Creamsicle Ice Cream

One of my favorite childhood memories was running after the neighborhood ice cream truck and buying a creamsicle ice cream on a stick in the hot summer sun. So naturally, I wanted to recreate this great familiar flavor in a Paleo friendly recipe that I could share with the rest of the world.

The texture and more importantly the flavor will hit on smooth, rich, and just enough orange flavor to not overpower the experience but instead allow you to savor, close your eyes, and think back to yesteryear when you last had an orange creamsicle ice cream.

Banana Tapioca Pudding

Or as I call it at home “Paleo rice pudding” because the texture is identical to rice pudding.

The tapioca will soften its granules and the sweet smooth milk surrounding them will thicken into a pudding texture when cooled. The added bananas and cinnamon round out the taste in a savory deep sweet flavor that will leave the dessert dish empty and the family asking for seconds.

A cold rich sweet buttery taste that will bring back warm summer childhood memories with a mouthful of butter pecan ice cream. That’s the best way I can describe my latest Paleo ice cream recipe.

Mixed berry pound cake

I love cake! Well, I love pie too but I used to eat cake about 6 times a week, on average, before I changed over to the Paleo lifestyle. So naturally I miss that cake-like texture in my diet and wanted to incorporate them back into my food supply, just using natural real food ingredients.

With a little experimenting in the kitchen, the Paleo pound cake was produced successfully. The density and the texture will remind you of the normal pound cakes you have eaten in the past while the taste will rival any you could buy in the store.

Raspberry & Lemon Pancakes
