One of my favourite summer tarts of all times is Strawberry Custard tart. I used to enjoy these in the old days; short sweet pastry, sweet custard and sweet strawberries – ahh, there seems to be a similar theme happening here!

Now that I don’t eat or cook with grains or refined sugar I have been thinking about how to repurpose these not so nice ingredients to make a healthy treat for the holiday season.

Well, with a few tweaks to a paleo pastry recipe and some friendly changes to the basic Creme Patisserie recipe my tart desire has been satisfied.

As well, I have a whole family of converts to this tasty dessert as the first tart disappeared in a twink. The second tart made for Christmas day only lasted a bit longer because my son had created his take on the Mixed Berry Cheesecake, so we had two desserts!

I hope you will give this a try and you don’t need to wait for summer. If fresh berries are out of season then use frozen berries.

The lovely people at Wordpress started my day off with the 2014 WordPress Annual Report for Paleo with Cream. It was very cool to have Paleo with Cream reviewed and I am happy to say the report card came up trumps! So indulge me as I reflect on 2014 before we say “that’s a wrap” and head on into 2015.

Paleo with Cream was created as a place my family and I could easily find my growing collection of healthy, Primally Inspired, paleo-ish, Low Carb, High Healthy Fat, whole food, clean eating recipes. Some of these are my own, some I have tweaked and many are my favourites from other blogs.

Then something happened; Fabulous Followers, Perfect Poppers In and Casual Passers By. All of you deserve a virtual hug and a big thanks for taking the time to visit, to comment, to share and to cook-up what you have found here. Your visits inspired me to create more yummy recipes, tasty treats and to post them here.

So then, let’s do a recipe round up for 2014!

Mid week and I’m thinking that some tasty Banana and Coconut bread will get me through to the end of the week. I first posted this recipe about six months ago, so it’s time to make it again.

Hide this bread as soon as it comes out of the oven, or it will suddenly disappear!

Giving up grains and refined sugar I thought that cakes and bakes were a thing of the past – the old eating. Way too much sugar, not to mention all that wheaty flour; boy was I so wrong!

Baking has now become an interesting challenge. When you work with grain your results are generally pretty predictive. Mix this and this to get that. But working with nut flours and heaps of eggs is a whole different ball game however the result is even better than the food baked the old way.
