Growing up root beer floats were a summer staple in my house. As I’ve gotten older, Root Beer Floats still hold a special place in my heart that takes me right back to those hot summers as a child running around outside without a care in the world! Years before going paleo, I swore off…

Paleo Starbuck’s Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
I’ve been a big fan of Starbucks summer drinks! See my Pink Drink and Lemon Fizz. One of my favorite new Starbucks indulgences is their Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew! Living in Arizona, cold brew has become my go-to coffee consumption form since it is hot, hot, hot here! Since I try to keep my…
Paleo Starbucks Pink Drink
Hashtag pink drink has been taking over my Instagram feed since early summer. Starbucks Acai Strawberry Refresher is one of my favorite afternoon drinks but I was a little reluctant to get on the pink drink bandwagon because I don’t love Starbucks coconut milk. Why does it have to have so many weird ingredients?? Anyway,…
Southwest Chicken Salad
It is still hot in Arizona. I feel like a broken record complaining about the heat but thankfully I have been finding fun ways to beat the heat. Mainly I have been relying heavily on no-cook meals or going outside as quick as I can to grill. While this Southwest Chicken Salad does require a…
Paleo Southwest Ranch Dip
I developed this Paleo Southwest Ranch Dip after having a bite of Hidden Valley’s Fiesta Ranch Dip. It was super tasty, but I was shocked when I read the ingredient list on the seasoning packet. I knew I could make this paleo after making my dairy-free veggie dip last year. I am officially obsessed with…
Paleo Candy Corn Gummies
It’s Halloween time! When I was younger Halloween wasn’t such a big deal, which I probably why I love it now. I love coming up with creative or funny costumes. I also love making fun, festive food. Last year I made these Spooky Banana Pops, which were a hit with my nieces. Two years ago,…
Sea Salt & Honey Ice Cream by Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind
After a fun but exhausting weekend at the lake, I am happy to be home and in my own bed! It has been so hot in Oklahoma all summer long. Even though we are supposed to be transitioning to fall, it feels like the middle of summer here. I’m not complaining because it means I…
Mango Strawberry Yogurt
I couldn’t decide if this recipe was more like mousse or yogurt. I decided on yogurt just because I don’t exactly see this dish as a dessert. If you are a yogurt lover than this Mango Strawberry Yogurt is sure to hit the spot! I used to love yogurt but being lactose intolerant doesn’t make…
Dairy-free Chamomile Pistachio Ice Cream
While in Austin, I did a little ice cream crawl with my fellow bloggers. As a recovering ice cream addict, I take my ice cream very seriously. I tried both Dolce Neve and Lick, and I am happy to report both were delicious! At Dolce Neve, I had the Chamomile Pistachio Ice cream and Chocolate…
Mango Key Lime Cheesecake
It’s cheesecake time! Without you know the cheese. This Mango Key Lime Cheesecake will give any traditional cheesecake a run for its money. The key lime base is swirled with mango puree that sits on a coconut-macadamia nut crust and is topped off with mango mousse. I really wanted to make this cheesecake vegan because…
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
Guess what everyone? The Eighty Twenty eMagazine will be coming out very soon. I am so excited to contribute to this exciting project. I made Spicy Pumpkin Chili, Cider Squash Soup and Peppermint Fudge for the issue. I also created a customizable winter face oil for different face types. I have been using the face oil…
Dairy-free Cheesy Potato Soup
Dairy-free and cheese in the title might be a little confusing but hang in there with me. For as far back as I can remember, my family has been eating cheesy potato soup. It is a family favorite from my grandma to my little nieces. Unfortunately our cheesy potato soup is as far from paleo…
