Paleo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

          Are you ready for a GOOD paleo dessert recipe? These chocolate chip cookies are deliciously chewy. They come from (of course) Against All Grain.  My cookies tasted wonderful (especially with a cup of coffee, as seen below), but they turned out a little brown and flat. After making them, I found some pointers that Danielle gives on her blog to perfecting this cookie recipe. Please read through it HERE, if you decide to make them! 

Paleo Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies


Ingredients: 
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/3 cup coconut crystals
  • 3 Tbsps honey
  • 1/2 cup tahini (stirred very well to incorporate the oil) 
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
  • 1.5 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup dairy and soy free chocolate chips (I use the "Enjoy Life" brand)

Directions: 

     Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer or using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg white, coconut crystals, and honey on medium speed until smooth.

   Step 3: Add the tahini, arrowroot powder, vanilla, salt, and baking soda and beat on medium speed for 15 seconds, then on high for 15 seconds, until well incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chunks & chips. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or in the freezer for 15 minutes.

    Step 4: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool before storing them.

Marinated Chicken Thighs

         This is one of my favorite, easiest meals! It's great for company, too. Each time I've made it someone has commented on it. It's even Whole30 friendly, and can be either baked in the oven or grilled. I love this with roasted sweet potatoes-Yum yum! Whole30 Marinated Chicken Thighs from Just Jessie B.

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
