Paleo Strawberry Shortcake - A dessert to feel good about!

Spring is technically here, even if the weather doesn’t feel like cooperating! And my favorite Spring dessert is a nice Strawberry Shortcake. But lately we have to take care in what we eat; so we decided to switch things up and try a Paleo Strawberry Shortcake. Made from wholesome natural ingredients, no sugars, no gluten and all natural. It is a the perfect spring dessert you can feel good about!

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake

A few weeks ago the husband visited with a specialist to discuss some health issues he’s been having. It’s been decided that he needs to try a gluten free diet for a while and see if that will clear up his struggles. Now when you are faced with the term “you need to eat gluten free” it can be overwhelming! Gluten is in almost everything that we normally keep in our home.

My first thought was, “AHHHHHHH!!!”

And it is more than just gluten he can’t have. No more corn, or oatmeal either! So I’m pretty limited. And at first was feeling quite frustrated and restricted.

Then he said one word that opened up the world and relieved a lot of stress. PALEO! Well I have dabbled in Paleo cooking a number of times. And while I never fully converted to paleo, there are quite a number of dishes and meals that are paleo friendly that I can easily do that we love! And the food always tastes amazing (another important factor for this foodie)!

So I opened my favorite Paleo Cooking book – Make It Paleo (referral link). Seriously if you want to look into Paleo eating this is my absolute favorite! It has great recipes, that are full of flavor and easy to make. Plus great photos! Anyway, I was inspired by the Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake recipe in this book. And I started with the basics and then altered it a little with what we had on hand and how to make it fit for our family!

As we have been cooking Paleo, One thing I learned quickly is I have to keep a large supply of high quality eggs on supply!

So since we are being more particular in the foods we eat to see if we can overcome our current health struggles, we are taking note on the quality of our foods. Which is why I love Eggland’s Best! You get quality eggs that are from hormone free chickens! No additives or such in these eggs!

By choosing Eggland’s Best eggs over ordinary eggs, you are getting an egg that is fresher, tastes better, and contains more vitamins and nutrients. Compared to ordinary eggs, each Eggland’s Best egg offers four times more vitamin D, more than double the omega-3s, and contains 25% less saturated fat.
