Thank goodness for apple season! I’m super bummed I didn’t get to go apple picking this year. In fact I’ve never gone apple picking, but I was really pumped to go this year. Unfortunately lots of the orchards in southern California ran out of apples early this season! Thankfully there are plenty of locally grown…

Paleo Apple Skillet Cookie Cake with Coffee Caramel Sauce
Last night I asked people on Instagram if I should try a new workout such as crossfit or barre3. I loved the response so I thought I would open up the discussion here. Until this summer, I attended Moksha hot yoga classes 3-4 times a week. Unfortunately during the summer hot yoga isn’t so much…
Paleo Halloween Candy Roundup
Happy Halloween! I love Halloween. Well maybe not all the scary stuff. Ok I really just love trying to come up with a creative costume. After college, there are not too many opportunities to dress up in costumes without seeming crazy. Some years I get really into selecting my costume and trying to be super…
Double Chocolate Pumpkin Mug Cake
I wish I never learned to make a mug cake. Since I stumbled upon PaleOMG’s mug cake recipe a couple weeks ago, I’ve had to exhibit extreme self-control not to make one every day. I can’t say I have the best self-restraint. I’ve made four mug cakes in two weeks. Whoops. I don’t recommend making…
Paleo Almond Joy Bites
It is almost Halloween! I actually didn’t really get into halloween until college. I know I know. You are thinking scantily clad outfits. I actually take a lot of pride in making most of my costumes. I typically only spend about $10 on supplies. I probably have more fun thinking of an original costume and…
No Bake Pumpkin Cookies
Yeah more pumpkin! This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my friend in Orange County. I haven’t been to a pumpkin patch in years, and it was so much fun! Pumpkins as far as the eye can see! After an hour of walking around, we both settled on a couple of pumpkins. I’m…
Raw Red Currant Jam
Ok so I got the pumpkin out of my system. Well kind of. I have more recipes to come. Those can wait until later, or I might have to change my blog’s name to pumpkin and paleo. Just kidding. But no really, I might have gone a little overboard. The other week I picked up…
Paleo Apple Pie Cheesecake Tartlets
This past weekend, I had a crazy movie binge. I went to my local Redbox and seriously stocked up. I watched Now You See Me, 42, Mud and rewatched Thor. I love Chris Hemsworth. Those eyes. Do you ever have weekends where you feel like doing nothing? I get that way sometimes, and all I…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Two desserts in three days! Well my sweet tooth has struck again, and I am struggling to put it back in its box. I completely forgot to mention I went to Danielle from Against All Grain’s cooking demo and book signing this past weekend. Her journey is so amazing and inspirational, and she could not…
Paleo Watermelon Granita
Summer is not over yet! It isn’t officially fall until September 22. While fall is probably my favorite season, I am savoring the last of summer and trying to stretch it as far as it will go. Fall recipes are popping up everywhere, but I’m still in the summer mindset. It also helps that LA…
Paleo Mocha Chip Pancakes with Espresso Syrup
I go in waves of being a morning person. Sometimes I will pop out of bed at 7-7:30 bright eyed and ready for the day. Then there are days when I can barely crawl out of bed by 9AM. To get by I rely on coffee. I’m a coffee addict. Maybe coffee isn’t the best…
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…
