nutty {paleo} pumpkin muffins.

March 25, 2012 by Hillary 10 Comments

Hi friends :)

Have a good weekend? I hope so. I’ve enjoyed having a little time to spend with the ol’ blog. I even got around to creating a WORKOUT page – about time, no!? I hope you find it useful; I’m looking forward to expanding the workout repertoire and sharing my discoveries in the realm of all things exercise.

This afternoon, I decided to utilize the final daylight hours of my Spring Break freedom to bake. I whipped up a batch of pumpkin muffins inspired by a Carrots ‘N’ Cake recipe*. The recipe is gluten-free and Paleolithic diet friendly — but seeing as though I do not follow either of those diets — I made them because the recipe appeared easy, delicious, and nutrient-dense.

*I omitted the walnuts because I felt like they already contained enough (healthy) fat. I might add a handful of plump raisins the next time around.

I like me a muffin with staying power. Despite their higher fat content, these muffins are very light in consistency, and have wonderful flavor from the roasted almond butter and honey.

A perfect breakfast or school snack if you ask me.

 

 

I’m feeling something spring green for dinner…

Take it easy!

    These look fabulous! And I think the addition of raisins sounds even tastier [I can’t get enough of the little things lately]!

    Just popped these in the oven with the addition of chocolate chips. How can that be wrong!? :)

    Actually, I did not have paper liners, so I put in chocolate to substitute…

    I’ve been looking for something to do with my almond flour. This looks like a great option.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
