Hi Michele,
I love your Pumpkin Chocolate chip cookie recipe but wonder if I can use cassava flour instead of almond flour. Please let me know,. Thanks
Roseann
I’m not sure the amount would work the same but it’s worth a shot, let me know how it turns out if you try it 🙂
Ok, I will let you know if I try it. Thanks
I haven’t tried it but I think it would be fine – you might need a bit more though? I’m not sure of the exact amount.
Hi. I have quite a few favorite recipes on your blog! I was wanting to ask you about an easier way to search on your blog. At least in the mobile version, I don’t see a search bar. For instance, today I wanted to compare the stuffed baked potatoes. It would have been nice to just search “potatoes.” Thanks for your yummy recipes!
As of right now on the mobile site, you have to navigate through the menu options under “recipes” where I have my recipes categorized in a drop-down menu if you tap the “+” next to recipes. To compare the potatoes you can click lunch/dinner or whole30 and see them, although not side by side. For the search bar you have to be on a laptop to desktop. Hope this helps a bit!
Hello, you put a note about the Paleo-whole 30-vegan spinach artichoke stuffed twice baked potatoes being dairy free. Did you not use the ghee? Ghee is made from butter and butter is a dairy product. Not sure if you were aware of that? I’m sure they could be made without the ghee and probably taste fine. Since you are Paleo, you probably use butter so it would be fine for that but would have to be modified to fit a plant bases way of eating.
I do believe I noted that you can use ghee to be Whole30 compliant (ghee is allowed on Whole30 while butter is not) but butter flavored coconut oil to be completely vegan.
Hi Michele,
Just wondering if I could swap another flour for the coconut flour as I too follow a low FODMAP diet and coconut flour is considered high for sorbitol. For example could I used almond flour in your pumpkin pancake recipe?
Thanks
Hi Michele!
I just wanted to thank you for creating such a wonderful blog. I can relate to your story almost exactly and I have really struggled making the transition to completely grain free, mainly because I have felt deprived and like I can’t eat like a “normal person” and still enjoy treats and yummy foods without paying the price. I love that you have kid friendly, easy recipes that mimic “normal” and taste amazing!! I am excited to use your site on a regular basis for my cooking inspiration and to finally make the complete switch to unprocessed, grain free. I was wondering if you have ever thought of posing weekly meal plans? Possibly what you use to plan your meals for your family? I would LOVE to see that as I have 3 children as well and it is always a challenge to plan meals for us all to enjoy.
Thanks again!
Megan
Thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipes! Meal plans are a great idea, I’m not sure if I’ll get to the point of doing them soon since it’s a lot of planning and work (I’m terrible at planning my own meals and often wing it!) but it’s something I’ll consider for the future/next year 🙂 I do have a Whole30 meal plan in conjunction with 2 other bloggers combining our recipes to get through the month, here it is: https://www.paleorunningmomma.com/30-days-whole30-recipes/
Also, I did many “WIAW” posts early in blogging where you see everything I ate in a day. So many of these in the archives! You can search “WIAW” or go to archives from 2015 to get tons of these posts. Hope this is helpful! Thanks for visiting and so glad you’re enjoying the site!
I found your blog reading a review on Pro-Nourish (a low FODMAP drink) as I too have been surfing the web trying to figure out a solution to my pains and experiences with IBS. Your story let me know that there is hope and I’m not alone. I have been a physically active person my whole life and have recently joined a bicycling group in an attempt to find a way to stay fit as I age (LOL, I’m 45). My question for you is with the Paleo diet, when you began using it did you have to have to still avoid the foods that you know gave you serer gas or upset stomach? what is the best approach to starting the Paleo diet?
Hi Tia! I’m glad you found some comfort in my story, I will say that paleo has helped quite a bit, however it’s not a complete “cure all” if that makes sense – I still have issues if I stray even a little bit into the foods that bother me. Back when I started paleo, I decided to just do it 100% – even eating foods I thought would no doubt bother me, just to see what would happen. Trust me, at that point I had nothing to lose, I was feeling pretty terrible. I started with a Whole30 right off the bat which meant no added sugar, which in hindsight I’m sure helped me a lot.
That first month I noticed a big improvement, BUT once I tried low FODMAP + paleo, my digestion really became “normal” which is something I never experienced. The thing is, even one meal out and a little bit of sliding is “noticeable”, but overall, a big improvement over the past 4 years. One thing to note is that the longer I ate paleo, the more normal things seemed to become. I’m honestly not sure if this was because of “gut healing” or what, but the time committed to paleo seemed to pay off.
I will note a couple of other findings. I used to think all fat irritated my digestion, I now know that most really doesn’t, BUT the oils used in restaurants 100% make me feel badly. Another point, it seems that too much of ANY type of sugar will give me symptoms, even if it’s low FODMAP, paleo, etc.
I hope you give paleo a shot and find it works for you, if you do, I highly recommend giving it the full 30 days, and making sure you eat enough fat and carbs to keep you full, nourished, and not experiencing too many cravings. Feel free to reach out with questions, good luck!
I just wanted to say thank you! I found out that I have Celiac Disease and I’ve always had a dairy allergy. Finding your website has meant the world to me! I love your recipes and share similar tastes in food. It’s nice to see there are so many recipes to choose from! You have made my life a whole lot easier. 🙂
I’m beyond thrilled to hear that! So happy you’re loving the recipes, easier is always a good thing and I’m happy to help!
I made the triple chocolate paleo sweet potato brownies saturday night. I didn’t have the coconut sugar but subbed in a little truvia and they turned out great. actually my husband was wondering what i was doing with the sweet potatoes so after i added them to the melted chocolate and almond butter(before adding the eggs) he and i tasted. he was amazed and we probably could have just eaten that without finishing the recipe, lol.
I’m trying Paleo for health and because i have a friend at work who cant enjoy when we have parties, etc because everyone forgets she’s gluten free…I’m a nurse and i brought some to work today. Everyone, including my residents and my attending want your recipe. They are a hit.
That’s incredible! I’m so happy you all liked them, yay! Good to know that sub works out too 🙂
I’m new to the Paleo/Whole30 game and I LOVE your site! The hardest part for me was that I really like sweets and breakfast breads/muffins. I was elated to find all your yummy recipes! Thank you for sharing!
So happy you’ve been enjoying the recipes, yay!
Hi Michele,
I recently came across your blog…so happy I did, but wished I had sooner. I will be running my second marathon next month and I would say I eat relatively healthy. I’ve decided to clean up my diet of unnecessary sugars and processed /packaged foods and try Paleo for the first time for last month of my training and hopefully continue the healthy habits moving forward. My concern is the amount of carbs and protein I should be eating at this point. I was wondering if you had any input or even a sample menu that you would recommend? Thank so much!!
