Happy Monday! Just kidding it’s already Tuesday. Which is pretty exciting because it means the weekend is only a couple days away. Yes I understand the weekend just ended but I do love the weekend, and there are only a few left before summer melts into fall. Summer is my favorite season but this one…

Acai Berry Bowl
I’ve been in an egg rut. When I got back from Europe, all I wanted was eggs on eggs on eggs with sides of bacon. Now I am on egg burn out. Usually when I get tired of eggs I turn to paleo pancakes, but I have been craving an acai bowl since my trip…
Mint Chocolate Chip Popsicles
My first year in college I had a meal plan like the rest of the freshman to our campus cafeteria. I was blessed with living near the nice cafeteria of the three. The first semester I loved the food and couldn’t get enough of the soft serve ice cream. By second semester, I wouldn’t step…
Creamy Cucumber Salad
I leave for New York and Maine in a week! I’m so excited about this trip. First I get to see my best friend who I only see maybe once a year. Second I am taking my first trip to Maine. I’ve never traveled to New England and can’t wait to check out the food…
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…
N’Oatmeal Cookie Shake
When I was little I hated oatmeal. The gooey nondescript texture paired with the strange light brown color never appealed to me. While I wasn’t chowing down on liquid oatmeal, I did love oatmeal raisin cookies. There were always plenty of oatmeal cookies left on any cookie tray because once one kid figured out they…
Strawberry Basil Cupcakes
I’m off! I leave for Europe this evening. I’m freaking out a little but I am so excited to start this adventure. Since I won’t be celebrating Mother’s Day with my mom, I wanted to make her something before I left. She requested strawberry cupcakes. The thought of making strawberry cupcakes was a little daunting…
Paleo Chia Almond Smoothie
When I lived in LA, a juice shop opened right next to my hot yoga studio. Pretty brilliant planning if you ask me. After you get your sweat on, a nice cold-pressed or coconut water sounds fantastic. One night after a particularly grueling session, I decided to branch out from my go-to drink and order…
Paleo Cajun Chicken Pasta
Sometimes eating out can be tricky especially at your favorite restaurants. For me, I have a hard time branching out to my old go-to favorites. I am a creature of habit and when I find a dish I love I tend to stick to it. To help cope, I love recreating my favorites at home….
Paleo Rainer Cherry and Dark Chocolate Ice Cream
One of my favorite former treats was ice cream. I used to justify eating a whole pint because it was “low fat.” I would eat a pint for dinner without a second thought. It was bad. After making my blackberry rosewater ice cream, I couldn’t wait to make another variety! I like cherries, but I…
Paleo Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream
I miss the ice cream maker. While I don’t need gallons upon gallons of Paleo ice cream for myself, I love coming up with and trying new flavor combinations! This blackberry and rosewater ice cream combo was inspired by my sister’s love of the flavor rosewater, and the fact blackberries are currently in season. I…
