Alright, so it's The 21 Day Sugar Detox time again! Oh.....you say you've never heard of it? Well let me introduce you to my favorite way to detox from sugar, stop my cravings, drop a few extra pounds and just over all, clean up and reset my Paleo lifestyle.

Poached Salmon w/ Coconut Cream Reduction & Arugula Micro Greens

Poached salmon is one of my favorite meals! Arugula micro greens.....my current obsession. Coconut cream and white wine reduction....do I even need to qualify THAT one? And so I give you this delicious salmon recipe that's super easy to make and yet designed to impress.

I used salmon from US Wellness Meats. In fact you'll find this recipe in it's entirety over on their site where I was the

Snickerdoodle Cookies (Egg/Grain/Gluten/Dairy Free)

There are two kinds of SNICKERDOODLES.....there's the big puffy, "cakey" ones and then there's the RIGHT ones! Sweet, thin, crackled and chewy; these are the only kind of Snickerdoodles that you'll find here at The Urban Poser. So if you are looking for the former then...."These are not the cookies you are looking for....move along." (THANK YOU Obi-Wan and my two very obsessed Starwars

The Best Almond Flour Cinnamon Roll Biscuits

I can't think of a more perfect EASTER morning breakfast than...The Cinnamon Roll! Soft, warm, and inviting as you tear them apart, steam wafting out. There may not be another food that can conjure quite as much nostalgia for me as cinnamon rolls. My mother used to make the most brilliant cinnamon rolls from scratch and I can still still remember the smell of the dough rising and the taste of

Grain/Dairy Free Lemon & Raspberry Pancakes W/Coconut Cream

{Chapter II}

I wanna fit in to the perfect space,
feel natural and safe in a volatile place.
And I wanna grow old without the pain,
give my body back to the earth and not complain.

~The Avett Brothers

I still have nightmares; It's amazing how pain has a way of haunting you, even after it's gone. Its imprint lingers like the scent of a strong perfume, clinging to every

Rosemary Spaghetti Squash Egg Nests (GAPS, Paleo)

This is one of our family FAVORITES. It's as though, when I make this I can do no wrong! They are pretty easy to make and well worth the effort for a special occasion breakfast. Which apparently means, everyday in my house. We make these at least once a week.

Rosemary Spaghetti Squash Egg Nests

Ingredients:

3 cups lightly packed cooked spaghetti squash (

Dairy Free Hot Cocoa W/Peppermint Marshmallows (GAPS, Paleo)

"Baby it's cold outside", and even if it's not (like here in Texas) you can still enjoy a nice warm cup of hot cocoa with a big huge marshmallow on top.

I remember my mother making different homemade hot cocoa mixes when I was younger. She would keep the mixes in tins, readily available to warm our freezing little bodies after a long day of snow ball fights and igloo building! My

French Green Bean Casserole W/Crispy Shallots (Gaps, Paleo & Vegan options)

Living in the south has changed me. I know, I know, I've said stuff like this before! It's true! I used to be all about foods exotic and foreign. Now I find myself making dishes like biscuits and white gravy, pot pies, and chicken fried steak...ok, maybe not the chicken fried steak. And last but not least, there's GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE! When did I start loving this stuff? Probably about

Dairy Free Cashew Cheese (GAPS, Paleo, Vegan)

My new favorite passion is Cashew Ricotta Cheese! I make this stuff at least twice a week. It is FULL of probiotics and it tastes amazing. Cashew cheese is SUPER easy to make, but you do have to plan head, as it requires quite a few hours of soaking and then even more time for fermenting. You are probably wondering if it really tastes like 'cheese'. That depends on what kind of cheese you

White Wine & Thyme Cashew Gravy (GAPS/Paleo, Gluten Free))

To be perfectly honest, I never was much of a gravy lover till I migrated south. I do love my gravy now though. I'll put it on almost anything. The gravy that we are about to explore today is much like a cross between a white gravy(the kind you'd put over biscuits) and a nice caramel colored turkey gravy. What's different about this one though is the absence of grains, starches and

Grain Free Pumpkin, Spice and Chocolate Loaf (Gluten/Dairy/Grain Free))

This recipe is based on my Best Ever Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins. My two hungry boys, with their mouths overly stuffed...insisted I blog this immediately! So here it is, yet another pumpkin recipe. This time with warm spices, sweet pie pumpkin puree and earthy dark chocolate. Will I ever get tired of pumpkin recipes? Probably not, at least not till they're out of season again.

My favorite

Best Ever Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins (Grain Free)

Continuing with my pumpkin obsession, here is my latest addition. I have to say these are the best almond four muffins I have had yet! The crumb was delicate, not mushy or soggy and the tops had a thin layer of crispness to them. I nearly ate the whole batch in one sitting!

Before purchasing almond flour, you should know a few things. The best flour to purchase is the

Soppressata, Caramelized Onion and Green Olive Quiche with an Almond Crust (gluten/dairy free)

I might have gotten a little carried away with this recipe! I was shooting for beauty and taste. So, if the steps in this recipe are just a few too many for the likes of you, have no fear! You can always throw it all in a pan and cook it that way. Promise me you'll make the crust separately though or I have NO idea what will come out of your oven. However, if you are in the mood for

Baked Rosemary, Almond & Butternut Squash Gnocchi (gluten free)

Gnocchi has been around since Roman times. It's name is derived from an Italian word meaning "knot in wood" or "knuckle". This wonderfully thick dumpling lends itself well to a variety of mediums such as semolina flour, white flour, potato, cheese, sweet potato, squash, bread crumbs and more. Some people like to add egg while others would never think of doing such a thing. However you

Kid tested Gluten Free Brown Rice Waffles

About 12 years ago, when I started cooking natural foods, I found this recipe in a magazine. It fast became our family favorite. I like to add a whole grated zucchini, cinnamon and carob/chocolate chips to the batter, which is my kids favorite. It's always nice to know they are starting the day off with some veggies for breakfast. Now that they are older we do experiment a little more like..
