A few years ago, my colleague Eila introduced me to coquitos, an eggnog-like alcoholic beverage from her island of Puerto Rico. I loved it! I thought making paleo-friendly eggnog would be as simple as replacing regular milk with coconut milk and that it would taste a lot like Eila's coquito. Turns out it's not that simple. In addition to the coconut milk, the coquito recipe call for sweet condensed milk and well, sweet anything is pretty much frowned upon in the cavemen diet circles :( Rather, paleo-friendly eggnog is more like regular eggnog, just a little less rich and a little less sweet. Paleo Eggnog Serves 4 4 cups coconut milk 8 egg yolks 4 tbsp maple syrup (add an ...

For 6 popsicles, 4 cups of watermelon and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice works. The original recipe called for 1-2 tablespoons of sugar but my husband is all paleo now so sugar has been banned in our house. And you really don't need the extra sweetness, the watermelon should be sweet enough on its own. ...
