Dairy Free, Sugar Free and Guilt Free! Try this refreshing ice cream today in less than 10 minutes.
This clean paleo ice cream is diviiiine. It’s fruity, it’s creamy and oh so sweet without all the sugar so win-win! My kids love it and really think it is legitimate ice cream and have no idea it is pretty much fruit. I love sneaking extra little nutrients into my families diet anytime I can and this definitely is a great way to do it.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I finally made some cauliflower crust pizzas and now I feel like a true Paleoite!  It’s so simple and I found the trick is to get as much moisture out of the cauliflower as possible to get a more crispy crust.

RECIPE: Finely chop up 1 head of cauliflower in food processor. Microwave for 5-7 minutes until softened, place in clean dish towel or cheese cloth and squeeze as much moisture as you can out that cauliflower once it has cooled. Mix with 1 egg, 1-2 tsp coconut flour and seasonings of choice, like oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Bake at 425* for 15 minutes or until it looks cooked. Add toppings of choice. For my kids I did marinara, mozzarella and ham, for my paleo pizza I did pesto, red onion, sweet bell peppers and tomatoes.
