Snacks
Skillet Sweet Potatoes
These Skillet Sweet Potatoes are a favorite side dish, we like to make a large batch to keep them on hand for quick side dishes throughout the week.

Homemade Larabars Paleo (Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough)
These homemade larabars require very few ingredients. Don’t pay a buck for a bar when you can make it fresh at home in any flavor combination you want.
Applesauce Fruit Leather {no added sweeteners}
I’ve been on a dehydrating kick lately. When we had an overflow of peaches so I made fruit leather with them, as well as dehydrating slices (so good, by the way). The fruit leather was a hit with the kids, but I ran out of peaches, and wanted to use what I already had on […]
Vanilla Peach Fruit Leather {honey-sweetened; real fruit}
For Labor Day weekend, our family took our last camping trip of the season. Just before we left, I realized I still had over 2 dozen peaches that would go bad if we left them at home for the 4 days we would be gone. So with 2 days to spare, I made as much […]

Blueberries & Cream Gummies
My kids love these real-fruit, no-sugar gummies and I love that they’re getting the benefits from gelatin and real fruit and not the nasty side-effects of corn syrup and artificial colors and flavors.
Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter
Homemade almond butter is fresher, healthier, and tastier than store-bought. Maple sugar (which is just dehydrated maple syrup) is used as the sweetener which makes sure that the almond butter consistency isn’t messed up by adding the liquid version of the sweetener. We love this Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter on apple slices and celery sticks.
Creamy Paleo Pudding, 4 Flavors {dairy-free}
This traditional family favorite has been remade to exclude the dairy, refined sugar, and cornstarch, so everyone in the family can enjoy it.
Instant Strawberry “Yogurt” {dairy-free}
Dairy-free yogurt options at the store have all sorts of strange and potentially dangerous ingredients (carrageenan, anybody?), and make a true dairy-free yogurt at home is expensive and time-consuming. This instant “yogurt” uses only 7 basic ingredients and is ready in under 5 minutes.
Slowcooker Sweet Potatoes
Slowcooked sweet potatoes are the easiest way to prepare a lot of “baked” potatoes at one time without heating up your entire kitchen. This is a great way to have an easy source of carbs on hand right after a workout or for surprise dinner guests.

Sometimes you just need a little crunch in your life and these crackers fill that void. With just a handful ingredients and a half hour, you can have homemade grain-free crackers. Use them to scoop up your favorite dip or salsa, or eat them plain.
White Chocolate Almond Butter
Why buy almond butter in the store when you can make it at home? It tastes better and you control the ingredients. I mean, this is white chocolate almond butter! Way better than anything you’ll find in the store, trust me.
