How is it almost July? Where is 2017 going, and why is it going by so fast? One good thing about it almost being July, means that July 4th is right around the corner. I love the Fourth of July! There is nothing better that outdoor grilling, fireworks, and spending time with friends and family….

Paleo Strawberry Bites with Vanilla Cream
Guess what today is? Plaid & Paleo’s Fourth Anniversary! Four years ago, I launched a little blog as simply a way to stay accountable to eating healthy. I mainly made other people’s recipes and posted terrible photos from my iPhone with a link to that blogger’s site. I never dreamed I would be creating my…

Sparkling Lemon Iced Green Tea
Guys. The heat. So I knew it was going to be hot moving to Arizona, and I knew I was moving at one of the worst times of year. But you don’t understand 118 degree weather until you have walked in 118 degree weather. It is pretty much like opening your oven and then just…
Grilled Sweet Potato Fries with Southwest Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Guys! So I heard I was moving to Arizona at the worst possible time because it regularly gets above 100 degrees and even up to 120 degrees for most of the summer! While I am melting in the heat, it hasn’t stopped me from firing up the grill and enjoying one of my favorite parts…

Paleo Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs
These dill pickle deviled eggs were inspired by my potato salad recipe. Dill pickles mix with fresh dill, dijon mustard and just a hint of mayo for a creamy and flavorful dill pickle! A few years ago if you told me that I would be craving deviled eggs and coming up with creative deviled eggs…
Rosemary Watermelon Lemonade
When I lived in LA, one of my favorite places was a cafeteria-style lunch spot called Lemonade. Lemonade had a variety of market sides you could mix and match to make your meal. I loved these sides, but Lemonade’s namesake lemonade was always the true star. Some of my favorite flavors included blueberry mint, classic…
Spicy Romesco Sauce
It is getting so hot this summer, and it isn’t even technically summer yet. Since getting back from the beach, I’ve been having my own little summer staycation by the pool. I don’t work most Fridays, and it is the perfect time to lounge by the pool, read a book and just relax close to…
Mayo-free BLT Coleslaw
I’m back from vacation and playing some serious catchup! It is the busy season at my job plus I have something special in the works. I’m super excited but exhausted, which is funny since I just spent a week at the beach. I am so happy that summer weather has finally hit! It means I’ll…
