A Clean Bake

Salmon Nicoise Salad (Gluten Free and Paleo)

It wasn't so much a moment, or even a day, but a gradual creep. Things - every day things, that I never used to think twice about - have gotten harder and more taxing little by little until one day I realized "oh shit. This is what everyone's been talking about." I still don't feel pregnant - at least not in any of the ways that I expected to, or that friends told me I would. I don't feel an enormous dead weight hanging off the front of my body, I don't have a ravenous appetite, and I'm not ... Read More about Salmon Nicoise Salad (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Edible Cookie Dough (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Vegan)

I don't mean to brag, but I have THE BEST neighbors. Aside from the fact that they're all, miraculously (because it's a condo, not a co-op, so existing owners have no sign off  on who buys in to the building) friendly, nice, awesome people, they are all so supportive of A Clean Bake. Whether through the luck of proximity or simply baking fate, they are all hungry and receptive taste testers, recipe makers, and idea-comer-upers-with. Or, at least they would be that last thing, if it weren't a ... Read More about Edible Cookie Dough (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Vegan)

Grain Free Flatbread (Gluten Free and Paleo)

I know what you're thinking: "haven't I seen these before?" Well, yes and no. It's true; these flatbreads do look like the grain free tortillas I posted here a while back, and they should, because that's where I adapted the recipe from. But don't be fooled. I wouldn't use these flatbreads for a taco and a gyro sandwich - or whatever you put in your flatbreads - would be way too much for a tortilla to handle.  ...

Zucchini Apple Banana Muffins (Gluten Free and Paleo)

I'm desperately searching for inspiration about how to tell you about these muffins and  I'm having the toughest time. They're so simple, yet so incredible. They're so (seemingly) nondescript, but so moist, flavorful, and bursting with fresh, vibrant fruit and veggie flavors. They're the perfect back to school snack. And they're the perfect snack to celebrate my last year of not having to worry about back to school (or having to worry about worrying about back to ...

Homemade Fudgesicles with Only 4 Ingredients! (Gluten Free and Paleo)

These dairy free and naturally sweetened fudgesicles only require 4 ingredients and put the store bought ones to shame! Give them a try today. There is just one (late) post this week because my husband and I spent the weekend gettin' 'er done. What is 'er, you ask? Um, everything. Seriously, we worked our  butts off cleaning and organizing the house, unpacking boxes from the renovation, sorting through stuff to either put back or donate, hanging and re-hanging art on the walls, and ...

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp (Gluten Free and Paleo)

This strawberry rhubarb fruit crisp is a low carb, paleo-friendly, vegan and completely irresistible dessert for your summer nights! In case it isn't abundantly clear at this point, I'm a little bit excited about  summer produce. Does this happen to you? In the winter, I can't get enough  chocolate, but in the summer you can find me stuffing my face with zucchini and peaches  and strawberries while shrugging off chocolate like someone is offering me a lovely plate of ...

Fish Tacos with Beet-Nectarine Salsa (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Now that I have your attention with delicious, juicy and flavorful tacos (can tacos be juicy you ask? Oh, just wait until you try this salsa...), I have some bad news. Not bad, exactly, just... different. This recipe is ONLY available to my social media followers, so if you'd like to get your hands on these tacos, head over and follow me on Instagram or Facebook (or, you know, both?) and grab the recipe! ...

Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free and Paleo)

I'm not sure at what point I shifted from cooking for myself and sharing with you to cooking for you, like a virtual dinner (dessert) party,  but I certainly don't mind. I'd love to have you over for a real-world dinner party, but since my house currently lacks a dining room table, and it would be a little awkward of us to eat standing at the kitchen counter or sitting on the couch, a virtual one is the next best thing. Anyway, this is one of those recipes that fell into the category of ... Read More about Chocolate Chunk Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Gluten Free and Paleo Peach Galette

A galette is like a pie without all of the fussing with the crust! Just roll, fill, fold and bake. Some people call it the lazy man's pie! No sooner had I planned an entire itinerary of emergency no-bake desserts to cope with the crippling heatwave sweeping the country (or most of it, I guess. I dunno. I'm no meteorologist, but anytime anyone stops ranting about the election on Facebook,  all that they talk about is the punishingly hot weather, so I'm just assuming...), it was over. ...
