Little “taste test” kinda Live today! Tasting my new HIGH PROTEIN CHOCOLATE MUFFINS - no PROTEIN POWDER req’d - warm from the oven! . I’ve been working on this muffin (as well as a plain variation) for months now & think I’ve got it over the finish line! . Getting enough protein is always a good plan, but given my age (I will be 62 in November), my journey into peri-menopause/menopause/post-menopause as well as being in my 100th week of micro-dosing a GLP-1 - it means more than ever. . Excited to share this one soon! It’s a winner & I’ll have plenty more coming soon! . I’ll link to my “Muffin to It” collection over on my blog where this new recipe will land! Bookmark it today! You can comment RECIPE for a link to send you right to it!! . https://backporchpaleo.com/category/muffin-to-it/ . @organicvalley @furtherfood @hedleyandbennett @ifyoucare_usa

The caramel frosting on this cake is honestly almost reason enough to make it. 🍎 One bowl, 25 minutes & a caramel frosting oh my! This cran-apple snack cake is the new FALL Bake of the season! Dried apples & cranberries, apple pie spice, & that dreamy frosting you can make as a drizzle OR a full-on frosting situation. You pick! Here’s how easy this is: 🍎 Stir dried apples + cranberries into your dry ingredients 🥣 Mix wet into dry — one bowl, done 🫙 Bake 22-25 min at 375°F until a toothpick comes out clean ✨ Whisk together the caramel frosting & spead it on 🍂 Slice, serve & try not to eat the whole pan Gluten free? I’ve got the easy sub for you as well!

35 years of making these & I’ve never once shared the original recipe… until now. 🧡 This is THE one. Patsy’s pumpkin chocolate chip muffin - lofty, bakery-style tops, a rich buttery crumb & a high-heat baking trick that changes everything. She taught me this recipe over 35 years ago & I’ve been making them ever since. Sharing it here for the FIRST time feels like the best kind of honor. Need a g/f or Paleo option? I’ve got those linked for you as well over on the blog!

🍇Hopped on a quick Live with my pal Reed of @pestoandpotatoes to make my PICKLED GRAPES - yes, it’s a thing! 🍇 . Reed is a fellow foodie enthusiast, seafood genius, someone I can talk food as well as sports with & overall spectacular human! . These pickled grapes can be customized with different vinegars depending on what you have on hand or taste preferences. . Inspired by a trip to Maui & a breakfast salad that had my tastebuds “popping” every morning while we were in Hana! .

🌮 Crispy tacos, just the way my mom used to make them. Saturday, the 29th is her birthday, she would have been 85! ♍️ This week, with Dolly’s passing, sharing this recipe feels extra meaningful - my Mom loved Dolly, like so many of us. I like to think they’re up there enjoying some heavenly tacos together right now. This recipe is pure comfort food for me & I hope maybe it will be for you too. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom, miss you so MUCH!💟 Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you the link straight to your DMs. https://backporchpaleo.com/2026/08/27/devona-crispy-hard-tacos/ #comfortfood #crispytacos #familyrecipe #tribute #tacotuesday

💟 Mini & oh so easy fudge - on this week's IG Live! Ahead of what would have been my mom’s 85th birthday on the 29th & a week full of unbelievable sorrow of losing our beloved Dolly, I thought I’d share an adaptation of what reminds me of my mom’s fudge. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been craving chocolate! A very scaled down version to make what some might consider a “personal pan” of fudge & honestly the way this week has gone, who am I to judge - eat what your heart needs to & share the rest! I say a “recipe that reminds me of my mom’s fudge” because it’s one that I failed to have her write down for me before she passed, so it’s now lost to the ages…which makes me incredibly sad. Get those loved ones to write down your favs!!! This is an adaptation of one of my mother in law Patsy’s recipes for chocolate frosting…a little tweak here & there - tadah, my mom’s fudge is still with me in a roundabout way. If you joined in during the Live thank you & if not, be sure to tune in next week! • ¼ cup sugar, can sub maple sugar as needed • 1¼ tbsp butter, can sub with ghee or dairy free as needed • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp milk, sub dairy free as needed • 6 tbsp chocolate chips, milk, dark, you pick! • optional, chopped nuts &/or sprinkles 💟 line a small mini loaf pan or cake pan w/ parchment paper, set aside add sugar, butter & milk to a small saucepan 💟 melt over medium heat & allow sugar to dissolve & the mixture to come to a slow boil 💟 reduce heat & simmer for 1 minute, no longer! Don’t stir, let it boil, but keep an eye on it 💟 remove from heat & quickly add chocolate chips & whisk till melted & fully combined 💟 add nuts if using & quickly pour into pan & add more nuts or sprinkles on top if desired place in the fridge and allow to cool & set up 💟 once set up...slice, enjoy & share Comment: RECIPE for a dairy free version that even uses chocolate milk! https://backporchpaleo.com/2026/03/23/dubai-filling-waffle-cone-wafers/ @hedleyandbennett @guittardchocolate @organicvalley #recipebelow #fudge #easyrecipe #chocolate #comfortfood
