What started as my love for cooking & Indian food inspired me to start a blog about my journey. Now, with an altered eating lifestyle, I'm gonna kick it up a notch. Paleo, here we come! We've taken to a slightly modified Paleo lifestyle (we did not eliminate dairy), and so far we are loving it. My goal is to tranform all my favorites into paleo friendly meals! We are in this for the long haul, so let the experiments begin!

Chocolate Cake Balls
So I finally got my cake-pop/donut hole maker and have been obsessed ever since. My determination was to find as many paleo cake type concoctions to put in it. I have tried several, such as Chai Spice cake balls, and a savory Basil Coconut flour version as well. While I cannot take credit for those, I can say for absolute certainty that they are amazing. I was also on a mission to find a chocolate cake recipe that was paleo, but amazing. I found the Paleo Brat's blog, and let me tell you, she is genius. I tried her chocolate cake recipe a few weeks back and was super impressed. I haven't changed a thing! The one complaint that I have is that all the honey in the batter make it sometimes difficult to make perfectly round balls of cake with my machine. I also opted to not completely frost them. This time, I made them, and decided that I was going to inject them with a little bit of Nutella (yes, I know....NOT paleo). But I figured a little bit wouldn't hurt. I also drizzled them with Giradelli dark chocolate, and then sprinkled them with crushed pecans. Absolutely amazing! They should be a big hit at the cook-out tomorrow. While completely gluten free, they are most definetely not for those with nut allergies. But so worth the time.
