Paleo eggnog latte with homemade vegan eggnog. This festive beverage is naturally sweetened and dairy-free.

Paleo Eggnog Latte - dairy-free, refined sugar-free, vegan, and delicious! | TheRoastedRoot.com

As you know, I’m a daily drinker of the bulletproof coffee, but from time to time, I enjoy an afternoon homemade coffee treat such as a Pumpkin Spice Latte, or an Eggnog Latte. While I do enjoy a nice holiday-inspired treat, I’d choose a hot beverage over a Christmas cookie if you can believe it.

There’s something about sipping on something warm, warmly spiced, festive, and ever so slightly sweet that just brings all the holiday cheer to your heart and soul.

Sometimes that special something is straight up coffee and whisky during a day of snowboarding, and sometimes that special something is an eggnog latte.

After whipping up The BEST Vegan Eggnog a couple weeks back, I went on an Eggnog Latte kick (using decaf coffee, because girl’s gotta sleep, you know?).

Instant Pot Pot Roast with Balsamic Gravy - paleo, whole30, low carb, keto, healthy dinner recipe | TheRoastedRoot.com

GUYS!

I’m so excited to share this recipe for Instant Pot Pot Roast with you, not only because shredded beef is one of my favorite foods ever, but also because it’s comin’ atcha from Natalie Perry’s new cookbook, The Big Book of Paleo Pressure Cooking.

You may remember Natalie’s first cookbook, The Big Book of Paleo Slow Cooking from my Crock Pot Citrus Pork Chili with Mango post last year. She’s seriously an absolute rock star at recipe development in general and I’m amazed by her ability to generate such easy yet creative and delicious one-pot meals.

The way I see it, The Big Book of Paleo Pressure Cooking is perfect for the pressure cooking newbie to the pressure cooking maven. I’m still fairly new to my Instant Pot, and have found Natalies recipes to be so easy to follow. AND THEY’RE ALL SO GOOD! <- sorry to yell at your face.

The Big Book of Paleo Pressure Cooking includes an introduction that gives you the full rundown on how a pressure cooker (any brand, not just Instant Pot!) works.

How to make a batch of paleo chocolate chip cookie bars disappear in 8 seconds flat? Stick them on a counter at Jiujitsu, mic drop, and walk away.

Just like the Paleo Gingerbread Muffins I showed you earlier this week, these cookie bars became an instant sensation at Momentum (where I do the Jiu Jitsu).

If you need your heart to explode and melt into a puddle of unicorn sneezes, check out Robb Wolf’s post on Instagram of his daughters with the bars.
