What is Siphon Coffee?
Siphon coffee is coffee brewed through a siphon. It’s basically the most steam-punk way to drink coffee and tastes amazing. Way back in the 1840s, people noticed that boiling water in the coffee grounds made the flavor taste a bit… burnt. A French housewife invented a special vacuum pressure percolator to help preserve the flavor of the roast. The result is a delicately-nuanced tea-like coffee. Guys, I’m so tired. I need energy or a nap or just more time. Life is such a whirlwind and I love every minute of it. My sister needed a little bit of that in her life, so I scooped her up last week and…

Bulletproof Coffee Recipe
Here’s the thing about bulletproof coffee: it makes you super productive without any of the jitters or crash that a regular cup of coffee has. If you don’t know what bulletproof coffee is, it’s basically coffee with coconut oil and grassfed butter that’s been tossed in a blender until it’s frothy like a latte. Sound dubious? I know! The first time I tried it, I did gag a little bit. I did not finish it right away. Fifteen minutes later I started to feel awesomely refreshed and ready to work. I finished the cup. Two hours later I was having the most clear, productive morning. Three and a half hours…

Dairy-Free Cream Cheese Recipe
A nice schmear of rich cream cheese perfectly takes the edge off the dryness of a breaded breakfast pastry like a bagel. Does dairy give anyone else a little bit of an upset stomach? This dairy-free cream cheese recipe solves all of your worries. It’s made from full-fat coconut cream, so it does have a lot of fat in it (duh) and a naturally sweet taste. Lightly sweeten it with maple syrup, or if you are sensitive to sugars skip the syrup. I prefer the maple-flavored cream cheese for a fun garnish on these grain-free rainbow bagels, but a more savory dish with salty salmon may be better off without it.…

Paleo Rainbow Sprinkles Recipe
Rainbow sprinkles bring so much fun to any dish. But you don’t have to literally eat colored sugar to bring a dash of colorful fun to a dish. This Paleo Rainbow Sprinkles recipe made from coconut flakes is a healthier choice, super cute, and turned out surprisingly well! To make them, just mix up the 6 colors of the rainbow in dehydrated coconut with all natural food dye. That’s right, dehydrated coconut flakes. I was so looking forward to another reason to break out my food dehydrator, which I finally invested in last fall after months of dreaming. So break open a rainbow bagel, layer on a generous serving of…
