It is St. Paddy’s Week on Plaid and Paleo! Ever since my college best friend studied abroad in Ireland, I’ve been equally as obsessed with St. Paddy’s Day. I think my love of whiskey pairs perfectly with this “holiday.” I know, I know. Whiskey is not paleo, but ya know every once in awhile a…

I leave for New Orleans in five days! I’m so excited. It is my first time visiting the city, and I can’t wait to try all the food! While I am pretty obsessed with my min-beignet recipe, I might have to splurge on a real one from Cafe du Monde. Any other restaurant suggestions?? My…
Paleo Coriander Pork Chops
So I haven’t had pork chops in about six years. I stopped eating pork and red meat in 2008. I thought I was doing the “healthy” thing in regards to the red meat and fatty bacon. On the other hand, I didn’t mind giving up all other pork products. I’ve had a weird relationship with…
Thieves Tea | A natural cold kicker
I’ve been using essential oils daily for a couple months now. My sister got me into them after… I have enjoyed making my own beauty products and something. While I have been using the oils topically in my deodorant, lip balm and moisture stick, I never thought about drinking the oils. The weather has been…
Paleo Beignets Recipe
I’m so excited for my first trip to New Orleans in a couple weeks! One of my good friends from college moved there over the summer, and I’m going to stay with her for a week. I got my first taste of Mardi Gras when she face timed me yesterday. I’m so awkward at face…

I feel like I haven’t been home in weeks when in reality I wasn’t gone very long! I have lots of travel planned over the next few months and can’t wait. After my recent trip to Austin, I decided to take the plunge and go back from Paleo fx! I am super excited to meet…
Crockpot Chipotle Chicken
I love how easy it is to cook chicken in the crockpot. I have a couple chicken crockpot recipes on my blog (here, here, here). I am constantly trying to think of ways to cut down on kitchen time, and I always go back to my crockpot. You can make so many things in a…
Paleo Oscar Party Foods
So a little known fact. I was actually in the move industry for a couple years. I love movies especially independents! I love throwing themed parties, and what better way to throw an Oscar party than to serve foods inspired by the movies up for Best Picture! Most of these come from the location the…
Cranberry Pesto Meatballs with Butternut Squash Mash
I’m recovering from a whirlwind trip to Austin, Texas. Just a little fyi a 14-hour round trip car ride isn’t the best idea for a weekend trip. While I am not the best flyer, I would take a plane over a long car ride any day. Good thing Austin was amazing! The food in Austin…

This week has flown by partly because I came home from one vacation on Monday only to leave yesterday for another trip. I’m so excited to finally visit Austin, TX! This city is a hub for paleo. There are so many paleo-friendly restaurants, bloggers and paleo companies located here. It is definitely creeping up on…
Cinnamon Apple Kombucha
I started off my home brewing journey in mid-December. I was nervous about buying a scoby online so I decided to follow Steph from Stupid Easy Paleo’s instructions here on how to grow your own. It was so simple! I definitely recommend trying this method if you can’t get your hands on a scoby from a…
Paleo Cranberry Pesto Meatballs
I’m so excited to be sharing my cranberry pesto meatballs with butternut squash mash plus a leftover remix over on the Paleo Parents’ blog today! I love making two dishes in one. You save time in the kitchen and get two dinners with one prep. Check it out here!
