Paleo Pumpkin French Toast Bake
All I want for Christmas is a Paleo French Toast Bake that practically bakes itself. Too much to ask? Well I must have been good this year, because this recipe passed the test with flying colors. The last thing anyone needs over the holidays is more work. But there’s always the pressure to prove to guests you’re a super host. This will be your genie in a bottle because it’s a few simple ingredients thrown together and ready to bake in the morning – plus I provide some healthier Paleo swaps that will take just as good as the OG. Read on for the dEATs that will save you Christmas morning.

Healthyish Carrot Cake Cream Cheese
October in sight means everything orange black and white – including this carrot cake cashew cream cheese for a little Halloween tease. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays for the ridiculous amounts of candy, even more ridiculous costumes and scary movie marathons galore. And one thing that’s particularly scary – how a little hocus pocus can turn cashews into a creamy base that’s oh so much better for you than the tubs in the store. It’s also a sly way to sneak in some carrots and can be slathered on your morning bagel or used as a healthy-ish frosting for Halloween treats. Read on to get the dEATs for how magically easy it is to create this crafty concoction.

Whole30 Reflections
Okay, okay so I said my last post was the “Final Frontier” for Whole30, but I couldn’t help but bask in the glow for one last post on Day 28. Because on Day 28 I’m feeling…pretty great. Sure, it was one helluva rollercoaster (even the second time around), but I’m feeling high as a kite with the end in sight. Also….I’ve apparently turned into Dr. Seuss. I’ll spare you any more rhymes, but I do have a few more recipes up my sleeve, including green (deviled) eggs! Read on for a flurry of new recipes and some final reflections on Whole30.
