Summer is here once again. My first day of summer was welcomed with cloudy skies and freezing rain. Oh Colorado, you definitely are confused with your seasons this year. I felt like winter was never going to end, especially after a late May snow, which killed nearly all of my flowers but thankfully my garden…

Paleo Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups
It is officially fall!! Fall is hands down my favorite season. From the changing of the leaves to warm drinks and football to fall scarves, I love everything about this season. Right before I jetted off to my birthday weekend in the mountains, I made these paleo Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups to officially welcome fall in…
Vegan Key Lime Pie Dip
Growing up my mom’s key lime pie was one of my absolute favorite deserts. The creamy combination of sour and sweet hit the spot every time! I wanted to create my mom’s pie but put my own spin on it, so I decided to create this Paleo and Vegan Key Lime Pie Dip. If you…
Red, White and Blue Paleo Parfait
How is it almost July? Where is 2017 going, and why is it going by so fast? One good thing about it almost being July, means that July 4th is right around the corner. I love the Fourth of July! There is nothing better that outdoor grilling, fireworks, and spending time with friends and family….
Paleo Strawberry Bites with Vanilla Cream
Guess what today is? Plaid & Paleo’s Fourth Anniversary! Four years ago, I launched a little blog as simply a way to stay accountable to eating healthy. I mainly made other people’s recipes and posted terrible photos from my iPhone with a link to that blogger’s site. I never dreamed I would be creating my…
Paleo Pear Honey
Shockingly this Paleo Pear Honey doesn’t actually have any honey in it! I am not 100% where this dish got its name, but my family always called it pear honey. I guess it is more like a jam or jelly than honey. To make it paleo, I ditched the cups of refined sugar in favor…
Double Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Power Balls
Omg another pumpkin recipe! Well kind of but not really! It does have pumpkin seeds aka pepitas but no pumpkin puree! These double chocolate pumpkin seed power balls are packed with flavor! These no-bake balls combine pumpkin seeds, dates, cacao powder, mini chocolate chips and cinnamon. Simple ingredients, amazing flavor. These double chocolate pumpkin seed…
Paleo Pumpkin Spice Blend
OMG another pumpkin spice recipe! Yes it is another pumpkin spice recipe, but hear me out. This is my mom’s famous (well famous to me) Pumpkin Spice Blend. It is the blend I use for all of my fall recipes, and I love it. I love the mix of cinnamon with nutmeg, ginger, all spice…
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 Lemon Poppyseed No Bakes
Spring is here, and I couldn’t be happier! Spring is one of my favorite seasons because all the beautiful flowers are in full bloom. Also as the temperatures rise, I find myself heading outside to cook or whipping up easy no cook dinners and snacks. Ever since I was a child, I have loved no-bake…
Paleo Creamsicle Macaroons
Oh my these macaroons. Not to be confused with the French macarons. These creamsicle macaroons are a delicious coconut cookie with hints of orange for a tasty treat. I am excited to share this preview recipe from The New Yiddish Kitchen Cookbook by Simone Miller and Jennifer Robins. You might wonder what Yiddish means….
Paleo Cinnamon Gummy Bears
February contains one of my all-time favorite holidays! Can you guess what it is?? No, it’s not Valentine’s Day. It’s Groundhog’s Day, which happens to be today! My love of Groundhog’s Day started in high school when I realized I would rather go to school then have a snow day because I hated winter. According…
