Thai lovers might be wondering why this soup is orange instead of white. Well when I lived in Los Angeles my favorite Thai restaurant’s tom kha yum soup was orange. Also they called it tom kha yum soup instead of tom kha gai. I’ve been trying desperately to recreate this soup because honestly I miss it…

Spicy Chicken Noodle Bowls
Did anyone else wake up early Wednesday morning to see the full lunar eclipse? I set my alarm for 5:40am and stumbled out of bed camera in hand. I took a couple test shots of the moon earlier in the evening to get my settings right. Unfortunately I didn’t think about the fact the moon…
Paleo Sweet Fire Chicken
Any Panda Express fans out there? I had my first encounter with Panda Express shortly after moving to Los Angeles. This was far before the word Paleo ever filtered through my ears. I fell hard for Panda Express. Do you want to add another entree for one dollar? Ok! How about a spring roll? Ok!…
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…
Chicken Enchilada Soup
I leave New York today and as always I’m sad to leave this city. From the constant bustle of people to the food to simply the surrounds, NYC is a one-of-a-kind place. When I lived in Los Angeles, New York was an escape for me. It is the direct opposite of LA. While there are…
Italian Chicken
This weekend was exhausting. Three of my five nieces and nephew celebrated their birthdays this weekend! That is a lot of parties crammed into three days. To make it even more fun, I helped decorate all of their cakes. At some point in the not so distant past, my family discovered I have a strange…
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…
Chicken Gyro Kabobs + Tzatziki Dipping Sauce
I’m back!! I got back from my amazing European holiday early Friday morning. In my jet lag state, I almost forgot Saturday was Plaid & Paleo’s 1st Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been a year: 210 posts and 150 original recipes later. Plaid & Paleo started as a way to keep myself accountable and…
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…
Three 15-Minute Lunches
I leave for Europe tomorrow! I might be freaking out a little, but in a good way I think. Today I’m sharing three 15-minute lunches over on The Paleo Mom. Whether you are a stay-at-home mom with kids at school or live alone, it is always nice to know you can have an easy home…
Tangy Tomato Glazed Meatloaf
Five years ago if you told me I would be cooking meatloaf, I would have laughed. Meatloaf was one of those strange foods from my childhood that I never understood. Eating meat in the shape of bread never appealed to me. Last year I made my very first meatloaf, and it was kind of a…
Paleo Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken
It rained all day yesterday. I know some people love a good rainy day to stay inside. I’m not one of those people. I wouldn’t mind if it was sunny 24/7. When I lived in Los Angeles, I rarely missed the seasons. Sometimes I missed the changing of the leaves in fall, but never the…
