I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and also a filling one! I stuffed my belly with turkey, grain-free stuffing, raw cranberry sauce, pomegranate balsamic brussels sprouts and Fed + Fit’s apple pie from her new ebook. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite food holidays. I will eat and eat and eat with little or…

Spooky Banana Pops
I got this fabulous idea from Skinny Taste and really wanted to make it paleo. Last year I made almond joy bites, but I wanted to make a simple treat this year. These spooky little banana pops are so cute! I created a paleo “white chocolate” to make a hard shell around frozen bananas. My…
Turkey Cucumber Roll Ups
I spent the weekend in Kansas at my alma mater, the University of Kansas. It was a great time with friends in a city that stole my heart years ago. Lawrence, Kansas is the quintessential college town full of students, extreme enthusiasm for sports, tons of bars and its own unique flair. There is nothing…
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…
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…
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…
Chorizo Stuffed Dates with Roasted Pepper Sauce
On my trip to New Orleans, my friend and I ate at this awesome wine bar called Bacchanal by the Bywater. When enter into a normal looking wine store where you select a bottle. You can also choose from a large selection of cheese. They had a few raw cheeses, which was a big win…
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 March Madness Mash Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeños
So my blog was deleted from Blogger yesterday right when I was leaving for the airport. I cannot say how thankful I am to have it back up and running. I want to thank each and every reader and other paleo bloggers who reached out to help! I was on a little bit of 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…
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…
