I have been busting out my crockpot a lot lately. I know most people think crockpots are only for the winter, but I love using mine in the summer. My oven makes my apartment HOT! Making meals in my crockpot keeps my apartment at a comfortable temperature, and I get a delicious meal at the…

Chipotle Coffee Pulled Pork
You guys. This chipotle coffee pulled pork recipe is so easy and so good! I saw something on Pinterest but it had like 20 ingredients and was zero paleo. How do you replace pop in a recipe?! No clue but I won’t touch the stuff. As I perused the grocery aisles, I threw in a…
Sweet and Tangy Lil’ Smokies
I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and also a filling one! I stuffed my belly with turkey, grain-free stuffing, raw cranberry sauce, pomegranate balsamic brussels sprouts and Fed + Fit’s apple pie from her new ebook. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite food holidays. I will eat and eat and eat with little or…
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…
Crockpot Tom Kha Yum Soup
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…
Pork Shoulder Ramen
Now this is a real Meaty Monday post! This pork shoulder ramen is full of meat, hearty mushrooms and zoodles. Best part- it is made in the crockpot! If you didn’t know, I love crockpot meals. They make life so easy. One of my favorite restaurants has a pork belly ramen dish. I have watched longingly…
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…
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…
Southwestern Shredded Pork
After abstaining from pork for 6 years, my first time eating pork besides bacon was this Christmas Eve when I made Nom Nom Paleo’s Kalua Shredded Pork. I was so surprised how much I enjoyed the meat and couldn’t even tell it was pork. Since then I have still been a little pork shy. I’ve…
Crockpot Balsamic Beef
It’s Meaty Monday! I know Mondays can be a drag since the weekend is over, but I hope Meaty Mondays make them a little better. I’ve been loving this series because I do cook a lot of meat dishes. I’m trying to incorporate more simple meals back into my blog. When I first started blogging,…
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…
Crockpot Chipotle Chicken
I love how easy it is to cook chicken in the crockpot. I have a couple chicken crockpot recipes on my blog (here, here, here). I am constantly trying to think of ways to cut down on kitchen time, and I always go back to my crockpot. You can make so many things in a…
