Coconut pancakes....

 {paleo/ gluten-free/ dairy-free}

Yummy weekend treat! 

I'm not 100% gluten-free, but I'm still experimenting with cooking gluten-free. My body just feels better without the gluten. I seem to have more energy and less allergy issues, and who doesn't want that. 

The original recipe is from She Wears Many Hats but I substituted gluten free flour for all purpose flour and instead of buttermilk I upped the amount of coconut milk.

Think they would also be delicious with coconut flour!

Kale Pesto Pasta

A perfect winter recipe packed with nutrients thanks to our superfood friend kale! I loosely used the pesto recipe from the book Practical Paleo but also modified and improvised. 

Ingredients:

2 big handfuls of kale

1/2 cup of cashews

1/2 cup oil olive

1 clove of garlic

juice from half a lemon

salt & pepper to taste

corn pasta {I use Trader Joe's pasta}--gluten-free

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. While pasta is cooking, put all other ingredients in a food processor and grind until finely chopped. Mix pesto with warm pasta and serve. 

It's that simple. 

Another quick recipe. Only took 10-15 minutes!

Also, for those who are non-Paleo, you could add parmesan to the pesto and/or use pasta of choice.
