I have been working really hard on improving my food pictures. My friend Rachel let me come over a cook, and then she helped me style my food! I am so excited how these photos turned out. They really do the recipe justice. I have come along way since my green chevron print with red…

Whole30 Superbowl Snacks
The January Whole30-ers might be done just in time for Superbowl Sunday, but that doesn’t mean you should derail your diet. I’ve rounded up 20+ Whole30 Superbowl Snacks. I love the Superbowl. Or maybe I just like throwing theme parties. Who knows? For me, it isn’t a Superbowl party without chili, hot wings, sliders and…
Paleo Buffalo Ranch Dip
I love spicy food! One of my favorite dishes is buffalo wings. Yum. Sometimes I like to push my spicy boundaries, and sometimes it backfires badly. Pre-Whole30, I let a waitress convince me that the mango habanero wings at Buffalo Wild Wings were only slightly hotter than my usual, caribbean jerk wings. As I dug…
Paleo Rotel Dip
I’m halfway done with Whole30. I feel like I’ve rounded a major bend and can see the light at the end. I’d like to say Whole30 has been a breeze, but it wouldn’t be the truth. I really like honey, like really like it! So far I’ve realized I still have a sugar problem. On…
Paleo Cranberry Turkey Meatballs
This past weekend, I helped pick out my family’s Christmas tree from a local tree farm. We used to do this every year, but the tradition has fallen to the wayside. After much convincing, we set off to pick out the perfect tree. I had my eye on something in the 7-foot range, while my…
Paleo Bacon Blue Cheese Spin Dip
While attempting to watch OU football last Saturday, someone asked me if I went there because I was cheering for them. I told them no, I went to KU. His response, “Oh so you tolerate football, but love basketball.” My friend burst out laughing and goes “you hit the nail on the head.” Evidently my…
Paleo Triple Citrus Ceviche
So my last post was basically an ode to fall. Let’s do a little 180. I go about 50/50 on if I like shrimp. It is so weird. Sometimes I love it. Other times I can’t stand the texture. RIght now I seem to be in a like phase. I had leftover sweet potato chips…
Paleo Roasted Artichokes on Zucchini Noodles with Lemon Garlic Sauce
Keeping on the straight and narrow isn’t always so easy. I went hard core Paleo for the first seven months then something happened and little cheats started creeping back into my diet. Soon I had fallen completely off the wagon. I was upset with myself that I’d let my “little cheats” get so out of…
Paleo Tailgate Foods Roundup
If you didn’t know already, it’s football season! I love football! Not all football. Specifically college football! Since my college was a basketball school, tailgating over football was more of the scene during the fall. We were lucky if we made it to the stadium. Opps. I did grow up in Oklahoma though. Home of…
Paleo Roasted Tomatillo-Pineapple Salsa
While cooking Asian dishes is my favorite, Mexican is a close second in my book. I make more guacamole than is probably necessary/healthy. I’m lucky living in Southern California that avocados are almost always in season. In an attempt to branch out on my Mexican dips, I have been dabbling in salsas. My mom makes…

Paleo Sweet Potato and Turkey Bacon Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers
The other night I had a potluck dinner with some friends. I love bringing over Paleo dishes and showcasing the fact there are tons of recipe options. In college, I discovered jalapeño poppers. How I never knew about these little bites of spicy goodness, I cannot tell you! Stuffed with cream cheese and shredded cheddar…
