Paleo Maple Pecan Meringue “Cookies” Recipe
Meringue cookies are one of my favorite desserts to make and eat. The ingredients are simple and inexpensive, they keep well, and they’re pretty darn healthy for a dessert!

Homemade Eggless and Dairy Free Mini Funnel Cakes
Ahhh, aren’t funnel cakes true love? A hot, fresh funnel cake covered in sugar and cinnamon is such an amazing treat, in part because it’s usually such a rare occurrence associated with fun fairs and festivals.
