Paleo Buckeye Bars

I have a lot of healthy recipes coming your way, especially since we are starting a Whole 30 next week... 
But first before that, I have to share these delicious bars I made for Christmas! Oh what a treat they were. You can also make these into actual round balls, but I chose the easy route and made them in a pan. The recipe once again come from Real Food with Jessica. 

Paleo Buckeye Bars

Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup cashew butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp ghee room temperature
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt (if nut butter isn't salted)
  • 1-1.5 cups dairy free chocolate chips
Bar Directions:
  
     Step 1: If making bars, line a 8x8 pan with wax paper.

    Step 2: Melt the chocolate and pour half into the pan and let chill for 10 minutes or until hard. Press cashew butter mixture on top of hardened chocolate, spreading as evenly as possible and pour the remaining chocolate on top making sure to completely cover it.

    Step 3: Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Cut into squares and store in the fridge. 


Ball Directions:
    
    Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine cashew butter, honey, ghee, almond flour, and salt. Stir well and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

    Step 2: Prepare a sheet tray by lining it with wax paper\

    Step 3: Once the mixture has chilled, scoop them into heaping 1 Tablespoon balls and roll between palms to make smooth. Chill again for 10-20 minutes if needed.

    Step 4: Melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 10 seconds until smooth. 

    Step 5: Dip each balls in the melted chocolate, covering all but the top. A fork is best to use so the chocolate drips off.

    Step 6: Place on the wax paper and once all are dipped, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

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
