Green is a color I like Green is a color I like in a bike To move and to circle and wheel and freestand To lip and to squeal and gurgle and remand We say, hey man let those green eyelids go Let them go til they flow into rivers of roe And green becomes…
Superfood Turmeric Marshmallows (paleo, AIP)
A story about bunnies AND beauty and the beast?? Alright, sold. I’m on it. Remember that angry rabbit from Belle and the Blueberry Muffins that led Belle into the open maw of the Beast? Well, it turns out he actually suffered from a mood disorder due to a lack of B vitamins and low immune…
Deep Fried Beef Tendon (paleo, AIP)
After fourteen days trekking through snow-covered mountain passes, the rebels and the Princess emerged on the eastern path leading down to the seaward fishing villages. As they descended towards the ocean, the snow began to melt, replaced by fragrant springs and budding wildflowers. The Princess breathed in deeply, rejuvenated by the balmy, salt air after the…
Golden Milk Chai (paleo, AIP, vegan)
Golden milk on a yellow gold day Of snow white daffodils and rosy blooms gay Out on the roots of a beautiful bay That shone in the darkness with reverb for miles And wept with the sunlight which started and piled On top of a snow-lit canopied hill Beyond which the trees stood finitely still…
Coconut Candy (paleo, AIP, vegan)
Jake watched as Aunt Nell grated the fresh coconuts he and Jenny had fetched from the beach. Using a serrated tool that Uncle Lonnie had hammered into a piece of driftwood, she went through four coconuts, then reached out for the fresh coconut sap they had gathered earlier. It went into the baking pit, where…
Chocolate/Carob Frozen Bananas with Pistachios/Coconut (paleo/AIP, vegan)
The other day I was walking down the boardwalk when I saw a monkey throwing a banana. “Hey monkey,” I said. “Why are you wasting a perfectly good banana?” The monkey looked at me and bared its teeth. “No garnish,” it said. “Excuse me?” “BANANA. HAS. NO. GARNISH!” It then pitched a banana at me,…
The Council of Gummy Bear-ond (paleo, AIP)
It was evenfall when Frodo awoke after his tumultuous adventure with all the horses and the magical river and the almost dying and all that, and he was, unsurprisingly, once again, feeling rather peckish. But as they hadn’t yet reached the part of the story where Sam supplies Frodo with alternative lembas bread, Frodo was…
Norbert’s Dragonfruit Sorbet (paleo, AIP, vegan)
Norbert was sad. The other dragons had been making fun of him again. It wasn’t his fault he was born purple, with black polka dots, instead of a deep, intimidating green, like all the other dragons in his clan. This genetic fluke, a one in a hundred thousand likelihood, should have made him feel special….
Cassava Bread (paleo, AIP, vegan)
“Man, it’s a long way to Mordor,” complained Frodo. “Can I have a piggyback ride?” “No,” snapped Sam. “No more piggyback rides.” Sam had had enough. He was drawing the line. All Frodo had done for the past week was complain and ask for piggyback rides, and frankly Sam was sick of it. Who made Frodo master, anyway?…
Fijian Cassava Cake (paleo, AIP, vegan)
Semi crossed and uncrossed his legs under the small desk. It was last period, which meant math class with Mr. Taliga. Semi liked geometry, but today he couldn’t focus on anything, much less trigonometric functions – today was rugby try-outs. In their backyard next to Grandma’s outdoor kitchen, he and his older brother had trained for…
Tamarind-Coconut-Date Balls (paleo, AIP, vegan)
As the west winds shifted and the November monsoons dripped their last drop, the King and Queen of Tamarindia decided it was time for their annual banquet. “Who should we invite this year?” asked the King. “Usual suspects?” “Meh,” replied the Queen, scrunching up her nose. “I’m tired of the old crew. Let’s spice things up.” “If…
Hoppy’s Chocolate Bark (paleo, vegan)
Hoppy looked around with satisfaction. The Island was nice…very nice indeed. It had taken some getting used to, the heat and humidity and buzzing insects that delighted in his exotic northern blood. The locals had welcomed him with a lei of purple orchids when his coconut igloo sailing vessel had first arrived on their shores…
