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…

Paleo 4th of July Menu
Happy July 4th! I’m celebrating in the Florida keys. I hope everyone has a safe but very fun holiday! I love the Fourth because I am a huge fan of fireworks. I made a 4th of July menu complete with entree, side dishes and of course dessert! So fire up those grills and get cooking….
Cherry Berry Cobbler
For me the Fourth of July isn’t the same without cobbler. Summer is the season of berries, which is the best time of year in my opinion. I love berries especially cherries and blueberries! I bought a huge bag of cherries on sale and knew I wanted to make a cobbler. I called up…
Paleo Potato Salad
The countdown to the Fourth is on! I leave for Florida tomorrow bright and early. I haven’t been to Florida in more than 10 years. I still remember my family vacation to Sarasota with its powder white sand beaches and amazing sunsets. This time I will be visiting the Atlantic seaboard then jaunting down to…
Tomatillo Ranch Chicken
It’s Meaty Monday once again! I hope it makes your Monday a little less painful. I spent the weekend cooking up some recipe for the Fourth of July. The Fourth is one of my favorite holidays. I love fireworks. My love stems back to my childhood when my cul-de-sac used to buy a huge thing…
Sesame Almonds
Did you know I write over on The Eighty Twenty? I am absolutely in love with this site and adore the other women contributing. I’m sure you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule when it comes to food, but The Eighty Twenty applies this to everything. Life is about balance. There is a time for work…
Spicy Pineapple Ribs
I’m still getting back into my daily routine. It has taken me longer than I expected to get off of vacation brain. I guess being gone more than a month does that to you. I’m already planning my Fourth of July menu! I love cooking for holidays. I get so excited and start my planning…
Creamy Watermelon Pops
Temperatures are heating up! I love summer. I lived in LA for three years, which basically only has one season- summer. I love spring and fall, but summer is my number one season. With summer comes more time being outdoors, grilling, farmers markets and tons of fresh fruit. When I was little nothing excited me…
Plaid & Paleo Grill Roundup
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having an amazing day. I’m in Greece today. While I may not be in America, I will be enjoying the day in my typical fashion. Laying out on the beach or enjoying some water sports! When I was little, we attended all sorts of small town festivities because…
35 Summer Autoimmune Paleo Recipes
After attending autoimmune sessions at Paleo FX, it really got me thinking about the autoimmune protocol. Autoimmune diseases and diagnosis are growing at a semi-alarming rate. While the stats can be scary, it is so amazing to read people’s stories of how they have healed themselves with eating real food. I believe in the power…
Strawberry Margarita Gummies
Ever since I shared my Blueberry Mojito Gummies on The Eighty-Twenty, I’ve been wanting to make another cocktail-inspired gummy recipe. With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, I thought why not make a margarita gummy. I used to love margaritas. It wasn’t a tiny crush or a short affair. Most of my college years…
Paleo KC BBQ Sauce
I’m off to Austin today for Paleo f(x) today!! I’m so excited and a little nervous. I’m not the best in big groups. I can be overly shy, which I’m working on. There are so many amazing sessions. Anyone else headed to Austin? What sessions are you most excited to attend? I can’t wait to…
