Now that Christmas is done and over. Sad. The countdown to 2014 is on. I used to love New Year’s Eve, but now it is less about the sparkly dress and more about just staying in and bringing in the new year with family. My family normally celebrates the New Year singing some awesome Wii…

Paleo Christmas Breakfast Roundup
Yeah I’m so excited it is Christmas Eve! Christmas Eve is the main event at my house. We open all our presents on Christmas Eve except the things Santa brought us in our stockings. I have four very young nieces and nephews who are firm believers in Santa. I particularly liked last year when my…
Sausage and Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole
I’m in Thanksgiving countdown mode. Since I was little I’ve spent almost every Thanksgiving on my family’s farm. Both my parents grew up on farms in rural Kansas. Now four generations gather at my mom’s childhood farm to celebrate. While cooking for a large crowd is a little daunting, I’m ready for the challenge. A…
Paleo Gingerbread Chia Pudding
Sometimes I just want to be lazy. I don’t feel like cooking anything, and I wish food would miraculously appear in front of me. This Gingerbread Chia Pudding basically makes itself. Ok so not really, but it is really easy to whip up! One of my favorite holiday cookies is gingersnaps. This Gingerbread Chia Pudding…
Paleo Parsnip-Apple Latkes with Smoked Salmon
Who loves brunch? I absolutely love brunch. It is the best of both worlds. Breakfast and lunch together. I used to be plagued with the decision between sweet and savory at restaurants. Now I tend toward savory when eating out because it is easy to order paleo-friendly savory dishes. At home I like to whip…
Paleo Mexican Chilaquiles
So I have a strained eye. Want to know how I got it? Evidently staring at your computer screen for four hours straight in bad lighting isn’t so good for your eyes. I really hope the Phillip Lim bag from Target is worth it! I got my official notification that it shipped today! Woo! I…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Granola
Even though this was technically a “short” week, it dragged by. I went downtown to get lunch with my friend. After I attempted to see some of my favorite locations from the movie 500 Days of Summer, only to find out the infamous park bench was closed! How does a park that small close?! I’m…
Paleo Mocha Chip Pancakes with Espresso Syrup
I go in waves of being a morning person. Sometimes I will pop out of bed at 7-7:30 bright eyed and ready for the day. Then there are days when I can barely crawl out of bed by 9AM. To get by I rely on coffee. I’m a coffee addict. Maybe coffee isn’t the best…
Paleo Spicy Green Breakfast Hash
Another breakfast hash!! Ok so I know I continuously call each breakfast hash my favorite, but this one is actually my favorite! It is like trying to pick your favorite pair of shoes. There is not right answer because you have a favorite for every different occasions. Maybe not the best analogy, but this hash…
Paleo Butternut Squash and Apple Breakfast Hash
Yup it’s another breakfast hash. I love these things! It is a great way to get veggies and protein in the morning. It fills me up so I am not starving by lunch time. I have made this hash a couple times. It is delicious but labor intensive. This time I decided to pay a…
Paleo Lemon Pepper Breakfast Hash
I might have already mentioned my love of breakfast hashes. If not, I’m saying it now. I love breakfast hash. Every time I make a new version, I fall a little bit more in love. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to making breakfast hashes. I make both sweet and savory hashes but was…
Paleo Banana Pancakes for One
There is something about Saturdays I just love. I am not rushing out of bed when my alarm goes off. I don’t really sleep in, but I enjoy having the day to myself. One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is make myself a nice breakfast. It starts my day off right,…
