Superbowl countdown is on. I’d love the attend the game some day, but preferably when it is in a warm location like Miami. I love NYC, but I’m not sure how I feel about sitting outside for 3+ hours to watch a football game. During college, I could barely handle November games in Kansas. My…

Paleo Chicken Tetrazzini
Ok so I can’t keep it a secret anymore. Well I wasn’t really hiding it, but I was too nervous to jinx anything. Yesterday I got lasik eye surgery. For the first time in almost two decades, I can see without glasses or contacts. I simultaneously want to scream joyously at the top of my…
Flax Fruit n’ Nut Bars
Yeah I only have three days left of my Whole30, but I am planning on finishing strong. I cannot lie and say I haven’t come up with like 10 easy treat ideas for when I can eat honey by the spoonful again. Just kidding, I don’t eat it by the spoonful, but I do love…
Paleo Bloomin’ Onion with Spicy Dipping Sauce
I have been working really hard on improving my food pictures. My friend Rachel let me come over a cook, and then she helped me style my food! I am so excited how these photos turned out. They really do the recipe justice. I have come along way since my green chevron print with red…
Whole30 Superbowl Snacks
The January Whole30-ers might be done just in time for Superbowl Sunday, but that doesn’t mean you should derail your diet. I’ve rounded up 20+ Whole30 Superbowl Snacks. I love the Superbowl. Or maybe I just like throwing theme parties. Who knows? For me, it isn’t a Superbowl party without chili, hot wings, sliders and…
Paleo Buffalo Ranch Dip
I love spicy food! One of my favorite dishes is buffalo wings. Yum. Sometimes I like to push my spicy boundaries, and sometimes it backfires badly. Pre-Whole30, I let a waitress convince me that the mango habanero wings at Buffalo Wild Wings were only slightly hotter than my usual, caribbean jerk wings. As I dug…
Paleo Breakfast Bowls
A year ago if you told me I would be curing my own bacon and fermenting my own kombucha, I would have laughed so hard. First I didn’t even eat bacon at that time. Second I had just learned of my new love kombucha and had no clue I could make it myself. So much…
Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
My pork belly finally finished curing and was ready for the smoker yesterday. I used a mixture of hickey and cherry wood that gave the bacon a very unique flavor. I’m so happy how it turned out! I’ll share all of what I did later this week. This weekend I’ve been teasing these gummies on…
Paleo Rotel Dip
I’m halfway done with Whole30. I feel like I’ve rounded a major bend and can see the light at the end. I’d like to say Whole30 has been a breeze, but it wouldn’t be the truth. I really like honey, like really like it! So far I’ve realized I still have a sugar problem. On…
Paleo Mississippi Roast
After being home a couple days, I am missing the bustling city. You might be thinking, but you live in Los Angeles that is a huge city. Well I actually moved back to Oklahoma a little before Thanksgiving. Yup I have been back in the Midwest for almost three months now. I loved living in…
Paleo Apricot Snack Bars
I can’t believe the weekend is already over. My sister and I drove down to Dallas for Michelle of Nom Nom Paleo’s book signing. It was so much fun. I was surprised how many paleo-friendly and gluten-free restaurants are in Dallas! We ate at HG Sply Co and The Company Cafe. Both were incredibly delicious….
Nom Nom Paleo “Food for Humans” Review
I’m not even sure I can call this a review. Maybe it should be more appropriately labeled: cooking my way through Michelle and Henry’s amazing cookbook. Have you seen the movie Julie & Julia? Basically a woman cooks through one of Julia Child’s cookbooks and blogs about it. I want to do that to Food…
