The holidays are upon us. I still can’t believe it is Christmas week and that 2016 is just a few short days away. Every Christmas Eve my family eats an assortment of appetizers before we open presents. Yes we open presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas, and I love it no matter how old…

Apple Pie Spiced Apple Chips
Now that pumpkin everything season is over, it is time to give the best fall flavor its time to shine! I love apples, apple cobbler and apple pie. If I had to choose, I will pick apple pie over pumpkin every time. Sorry pumpkin. I am constantly searching for grab-and-go snacks. When eating paleo, you…
Bourbon Clove Applesauce
So I am going to say it… it is freezing out! Freezing. It was 70 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Yesterday I woke up and my weather app read “feels like 10 degrees.” I am not okay with this. I love fall. It was one of the things I absolutely missed when I lived in…
Spiced Pumpkin Cider
Paleo purists advert your little eyes because we have an adult beverage coming your way! Just kidding don’t go too far because this drink is easily made into a mocktail! I’ve been a fan of cider since my best friend studied abroad in Ireland and talked non-stop about Bulmers Cider aka Magners here in the…
Crockpot Apple Butter
So it’s October once again. The weather is changing quicker than I prefer and soon it will be winter. Ok not really. Thank goodness! I love fall. The leaves slowly transitioning from green to bright shades of red, yellow and orange. The fire tipped trees are one of my favorite parts of fall. With the…
Avocado Cheesecake with Fruit Topping
Happy Monday! Just kidding it’s already Tuesday. Which is pretty exciting because it means the weekend is only a couple days away. Yes I understand the weekend just ended but I do love the weekend, and there are only a few left before summer melts into fall. Summer is my favorite season but this one…
Plantain and Apple Fritters: A Sneak Peak Recipe from The Paleo Approach Cookbook
I had the pleasure of hearing Sarah Ballantyne, aka The Paleo Mom, speak at Paleo FX earlier this year. Prior to her talk, I wasn’t super familiar with the autoimmune protocol (AIP). I learned so much about not only AIP, but also which are the most nutrient foods. I am still trying to add more…
Zucchini Apple Slaw
Summer produce is plentiful as ever. I love going to my farmers market and see loads of local vegetables and fruit. I still miss my LA market but my new one is definitely showing a lot of promise. Sadly it will be closing in a few months, but let’s not think about that! One of…
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…
Rustic Apple Custard Cake
I’m in the two week countdown!! Fourteen short days from now I will be boarding a plane to hop across the pond to my European excursion. I can’t believe it is so close. I’m getting down to the gritty details like what to pack. I’m hopeless! I have no clue how I’m going to pack…
Paleo Gingerbread Dip
Yesterday I had one of my worst recipes fails. I was attempting a new pancake recipe, which turned out to be a disaster. They were too thin. Then too thick. Then gritty. I’m still at a lost of how they were so so bad. I’m still determined to get it right and share it with…
Paleo Apple Butter Pecan Pie
So I posted this photo on my instagram before Thanksgiving promising the share the recipe for my apple butter pecan pie, and then I completely forgot to actually share it. I really wanted to make a pecan pie for Thanksgiving even though I have never really been a fan. I put a little twist on…
