Who here loves brunch? I’ve talked about my brunch obsession before and I will definitely talk about it in the future. For me brunch is the best of both worlds. Sweet and savory. You don’t have to pick. You can have it all! Or at least if you go to brunch with someone who is…

Paleo Sweet Fire Chicken
Any Panda Express fans out there? I had my first encounter with Panda Express shortly after moving to Los Angeles. This was far before the word Paleo ever filtered through my ears. I fell hard for Panda Express. Do you want to add another entree for one dollar? Ok! How about a spring roll? Ok!…
Mason Jar Breakfast Casserole
One of my most popular recipes is my sweet potato and sausage breakfast casserole. I love this dish so much, and it is perfect for feeding large families. Most of the time though I am cooking for just myself. I want to start sharing more recipes with smaller serving sizes because I know I can’t…
Avocado Cheesecake with Fruit Topping
Happy Monday! Just kidding it’s already Tuesday. Which is pretty exciting because it means the weekend is only a couple days away. Yes I understand the weekend just ended but I do love the weekend, and there are only a few left before summer melts into fall. Summer is my favorite season but this one…
Summer Ahi Tuna Salad
While in Maine, I sampled some amazing food! From the lobster to the oysters, I was very impressed with the fresh cuisine. I’ve been a seafood skeptic for a while now. I don’t like anything too fishy. I pressed my boundaries in Greece splitting a whole grilled red snapper with friends. I pushed myself a…
Macadamia Nut Chicken Tenders with Peach Mustard Sauce
One of the very first recipes on my blog was coconut crusted chicken tenders. I still love this recipe. It was one of my go-to recipes when I first started eating Paleo. Easy recipes were a lifesaver when making the transition to paleo. As I will soon celebrate my two-year paleo anniversary, I have started…
Plantain and Apple Fritters: A Sneak Peak Recipe from The Paleo Approach Cookbook
I had the pleasure of hearing Sarah Ballantyne, aka The Paleo Mom, speak at Paleo FX earlier this year. Prior to her talk, I wasn’t super familiar with the autoimmune protocol (AIP). I learned so much about not only AIP, but also which are the most nutrient foods. I am still trying to add more…
Sweet n’ Sour Meatballs
This weekend flew by! I’m suffering from a Game of Thrones hangover. I mentioned last week I just started watching. Well I am now ready for the fourth season. Oops! I don’t normally binge watch TV but I got sucked in. All of this meant I put off cooking until yesterday and then spent the…
Zucchini Apple Slaw
Summer produce is plentiful as ever. I love going to my farmers market and see loads of local vegetables and fruit. I still miss my LA market but my new one is definitely showing a lot of promise. Sadly it will be closing in a few months, but let’s not think about that! One of…
Chorizo and Caramelized Onion Mussels
I spent this weekend at the lake with my family. I hadn’t been to the lake in years, and it was fun going out on the boat and even doing a little tubing. I distinctly remember the last time I was at the lake- Fourth of July 2012. Pictures from that trip drove me to…
German Chocolate No-Bakes
I’m back in Oklahoma but it doesn’t feel real. My last few stops back in my home state could be categorized as temporary layovers to my next destination. This time I will be home for awhile. It is weird but good to be home. Although the travel bug hasn’t completely be quenched, my next adventure…
Chicken Enchilada Soup
I leave New York today and as always I’m sad to leave this city. From the constant bustle of people to the food to simply the surrounds, NYC is a one-of-a-kind place. When I lived in Los Angeles, New York was an escape for me. It is the direct opposite of LA. While there are…
