I got this fabulous idea from Skinny Taste and really wanted to make it paleo. Last year I made almond joy bites, but I wanted to make a simple treat this year. These spooky little banana pops are so cute! I created a paleo “white chocolate” to make a hard shell around frozen bananas. My…

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…
Avocado Cheesecake with Fruit Topping
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…
German Chocolate No-Bakes
I’m back in Oklahoma but it doesn’t feel real. My last few stops back in my home state could be categorized as temporary layovers to my next destination. This time I will be home for awhile. It is weird but good to be home. Although the travel bug hasn’t completely be quenched, my next adventure…
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…
Paleo 4th of July Menu
Happy July 4th! I’m celebrating in the Florida keys. I hope everyone has a safe but very fun holiday! I love the Fourth because I am a huge fan of fireworks. I made a 4th of July menu complete with entree, side dishes and of course dessert! So fire up those grills and get cooking….
Cherry Berry Cobbler
For me the Fourth of July isn’t the same without cobbler. Summer is the season of berries, which is the best time of year in my opinion. I love berries especially cherries and blueberries! I bought a huge bag of cherries on sale and knew I wanted to make a cobbler. I called up…
Sesame Almonds
Did you know I write over on The Eighty Twenty? I am absolutely in love with this site and adore the other women contributing. I’m sure you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule when it comes to food, but The Eighty Twenty applies this to everything. Life is about balance. There is a time for work…
Creamy Watermelon Pops
Temperatures are heating up! I love summer. I lived in LA for three years, which basically only has one season- summer. I love spring and fall, but summer is my number one season. With summer comes more time being outdoors, grilling, farmers markets and tons of fresh fruit. When I was little nothing excited me…
35 Summer Autoimmune Paleo Recipes
After attending autoimmune sessions at Paleo FX, it really got me thinking about the autoimmune protocol. Autoimmune diseases and diagnosis are growing at a semi-alarming rate. While the stats can be scary, it is so amazing to read people’s stories of how they have healed themselves with eating real food. I believe in the power…
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…
Rustic Apple Custard Cake
I’m in the two week countdown!! Fourteen short days from now I will be boarding a plane to hop across the pond to my European excursion. I can’t believe it is so close. I’m getting down to the gritty details like what to pack. I’m hopeless! I have no clue how I’m going to pack…
