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…
Fed & Fit’s Loaded Cauliflower Mac & Cheese
Guys! I am so excited to be sharing a recipe from Cassy of Fed & Fit’s new cookbook with the same name: Fed & Fit! I’ve been following along with Cassy’s blog since I first went Paleo. Her step-by-step instructions helped me when I was new to paleo and really new to cooking in general!…
Vegan Tropical Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl
When I first moved to Arizona, I stayed in a hotel for a few days until all my belongings made their way here. There I fell in love with a local cafe serving up gluten-free, wholesome breakfast and lunch. One of my favorite things is the Pitaya Smoothie bowl. I didn’t realize that Pitaya is simply another…
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 Hibiscus Kiwi Popsicles
Today I’m celebrating Plaid and Paleo’s 3rd Anniversary! I can’t believe it was 3 years ago that I pushed publish on my very first blog post. While I cringe at some of my old photos, I love seeing how far my little blog has come! Plaid and Paleo is such a huge part of my…
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…
Vegan Peppermint Fudge
This vegan peppermint fudge is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Decadent fudge makes for the perfect holiday treat. The peppermint is not only a delicious accent flavor but peppermint has its own health benefits. Peppermint has said to help with headaches and boost concentration. So I will just tell myself…
Hatch Chile Dip
It is still Hatch Chile season! I love being able to buy fresh roasted hatch chiles at my local Whole Foods. I love the spicy, smokey flavor of hatch chiles. One of my favorite pre-paleo snacks was hummus. I loved the creamy texture and all the different flavors that could be imposed on the semi-neutral…
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…
Paleo Lasagna Rolls
But I can’t imagine lasagna without cheese, and cheese isn’t paleo! Yes I know. But I’ve created a yummy dairy-free cheese because to me you’re right! Lasagna isn’t lasagna without the cheese. Pasta was one of the hardest things for me to give up going paleo. I loved every pasta under the sun in my…
