Paleo purists advert your little eyes because we have an adult beverage coming your way! Just kidding don’t go too far because this drink is easily made into a mocktail! I’ve been a fan of cider since my best friend studied abroad in Ireland and talked non-stop about Bulmers Cider aka Magners here in the…

Greek Stuffed Eggplant
So this is more Greek inspired then necessarily classic Greek flavors. While I was in Santorini, I fell in love with moussaka, which is Greek lasagna made with potatoes and eggplant. It is seriously delicious. After a day at the beach, I set off to find a local spot for a late lunch. We stumbled…
Spooky Banana Pops
I got this fabulous idea from Skinny Taste and really wanted to make it paleo. Last year I made almond joy bites, but I wanted to make a simple treat this year. These spooky little banana pops are so cute! I created a paleo “white chocolate” to make a hard shell around frozen bananas. My…
Paleo Beef a la Sichuan
A couple weeks ago, I ate at P.F. Chang’s and was happy to see they now have a gluten free menu! Now that doesn’t mean everything is paleo but it is good to know I wasn’t going to get accidentally gluten bombed. I hadn’t been to a P.F. Chang’s in years and decided to forgo…
Spicy Chicken Noodle Bowls
Did anyone else wake up early Wednesday morning to see the full lunar eclipse? I set my alarm for 5:40am and stumbled out of bed camera in hand. I took a couple test shots of the moon earlier in the evening to get my settings right. Unfortunately I didn’t think about the fact the moon…
Pork Shoulder Ramen
Now this is a real Meaty Monday post! This pork shoulder ramen is full of meat, hearty mushrooms and zoodles. Best part- it is made in the crockpot! If you didn’t know, I love crockpot meals. They make life so easy. One of my favorite restaurants has a pork belly ramen dish. I have watched longingly…
Crockpot Apple Butter
So it’s October once again. The weather is changing quicker than I prefer and soon it will be winter. Ok not really. Thank goodness! I love fall. The leaves slowly transitioning from green to bright shades of red, yellow and orange. The fire tipped trees are one of my favorite parts of fall. With the…
Turkey Cucumber Roll Ups
I spent the weekend in Kansas at my alma mater, the University of Kansas. It was a great time with friends in a city that stole my heart years ago. Lawrence, Kansas is the quintessential college town full of students, extreme enthusiasm for sports, tons of bars and its own unique flair. There is nothing…
Nut-Free Matcha Granola
Fall is officially here. The day before the official start of fall, the weather cooled off. I’m still getting used to the changing seasons. In Los Angeles, the difference between summer and winter was a 20 degree spread. The gradual change from 80s to 60s goes almost unnoticed until it is back to 80s. This…
Carrot Ginger Meatballs
Guess what?! Today is my birthday! To celebrate I figured I would share one of my favorite new recipes! These carrot ginger meatballs are out of this world! I am not exaggerating at all. Most people might celebrate with sweets, but I wanted share something you can enjoy any day of the year. The shredded…
Dairy-free Veggie Dip
Better late than never. I had all intention of putting this recipe up yesterday, but then life happened and rain happened. Did you know taking pictures when it is raining is the worst? I am considering buying some lights so rain can’t derail my photo days, but I don’t even know where to start. I…
Chimichanga Breakfast Skillet
So this weekend was rough. Well rough in the sports world. My alma mater is known as a basketball university but I still love football; however, watching my school play football is something of a painful experience. We were actually pretty good when I was in college but oh how the team has fallen. We…
