Chocolate Raspberry Cookie Recipe (paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)

Paleo Chocolate Raspberry Cookies | They Call Me Oystergirl

I’m quite new to this whole baking thing. I feel lucky in that I don’t have the standard knowledge of baking to have to unlearn. I wouldn’t know what to do if you dropped white flour, white sugar, and Crisco in front of me, but give me some almond flour, eggs, and coconut palm sugar, […]

Banana Carob Cake Recipe| paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free | They Call Me Oystergirl

Grain-Free Sweets: Get This Book (with Recipe)

I really, really love sweets. But starches and sugars don’t love me. So I’ve had grain- and refined-sugar-free goodies, and I find that not only do they agree with my body and brain better, they are frequently tastier, richer, and more satisfying than their mainstream counterparts. Carol from Ditch the Wheat has created an e-cookbook […]

Traditional Family Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe

Chocolate Bread Pudding | They Call Me Oystergirl

I grew up eating the most amazing chocolate bread pudding the world has ever known, which came from my great-grandmother. I’m not sure if it came from her originally; that’s as far back as I can trace it. My mother remembers that her mother often made it for my grandfather (who would have grown up […]
