So I guess winter is sticking around after all. Don’t worry I have an official countdown to spring. Only 31 days to go. So close yet so far away. I got a little winter relief with a short vacation to the gulf. Texas beaches don’t really compare to California, but the weather was nice so…
Four Things
The second installment of Four Things. I am way too excited about this series. I love sharing the books I’m reading because I’m a nerd and love to share. I can spend hours combing Amazon and Goodreads looking for my next book to read. The best is discovering new books from the “suggestions based on…
Strawberry Cream Cheese Pancake Stack
Valentine’s Day is one day away people! If you have someone special, I hope you already made plans. I’ll be spending the day eating chocolate, drinking wine and thinking about how much I miss the beach. My one true love. Well I’m actually at the beach in Texas but it is not the same as…
Paleo Sun-dried Tomato & Artichoke Stuffed Chicken
My life feels a little boring right now. Time seems to slow down in the winter. The monotonous days of cold and snow drag with no end. Grey skies block out the sun giving the landscape a dreary outlook. I miss LA winter. It isn’t even a real winter, which is why I love it…
Paleo Cranberry Chia Cups
The weekend has once again come and gone. No surprise there. It happens every single week, and every single week I am surprised how quickly the weekend flies by. The snow from last week still hasn’t melted leaving me feeling trapped indoors. Before moving to LA, I didn’t like cold weather but I could tolerate…
Four Things
I’m excited to start a new Friday series. Each week I will share four things that are currently inspiring me: a book, song, quote and recipe. Sometime I might throw in a movie. When I started Plaid and Paleo, I planned to make a lifestyle cooking blog. There hasn’t been too much “lifestyle” going around…
Paleo Chocolate Raspberry Jellies
I have to say it. I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I have too many “favorite” holidays, and Valentines simply doesn’t make the cut. For me there is too much hype. Too much pressure for it to be an amazing day. I…
Paleo Umami Brussels Sprouts
I feel like it has been forever since I did a vegetable post. Okay so I did post the bloomin’ onion a couple days ago. Evidently my memory isn’t to hot right now. I blame the weather. I’ve lost track of my days with all the snow. Well anyways, I usually try to include a…
Chorizo Breakfast Burrito with Avocado Cream
So Sunday was one of my favorite holidays. Nope I’m not talking about the Super Bowl. I do love the Super bowl, but I love this “holiday” more. Can you guess what it is? Groundhog’s Day. It is probably one of the most random holidays, but I have been a fan for years. My love…
Spicy and Sweet Blood Orange Wings
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…
