I am kind of obsessed with my ranch seasoning. I love mixing it into interesting dishes that are far from traditional ranch dressing. Ranch seasoning mixes a unique blend of spices that bring a savory element to any dish! I love using my seasoning to make these ranch carnitas and ranch guacamole. Yes I realize…

Chipotle Tacos with Pickled Onions
Guess what? On Sunday, I celebrated my 2 year blog anniversary! I partied it up by working at my real job, but I have a very excited announcement to make… I am writing an ebook. I’ve had this idea for a cookbook for over a year, and now I am finally putting my idea to…
Asian Pork Stir fry
I am always down for a quick and easy meal! The less clean up, the better is my motto. I tend to make a huge mess in the kitchen. I don’t even know how. One minute I am stirring something in a bowl and then suddenly there are five dirty pots and pans, whisks, wooden…
Sweet and Sour Stir fry
Have you watched the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix?? I’m kind of obsessed, and by that I mean I watched the whole season in three days. I love the main characters out look on life. Bad things, very bad things happened to Kimmy, but she doesn’t let that get her down! She is a burst…
Roasted Red Pepper Pasta
Guess what everyone? The Eighty Twenty eMagazine will be coming out very soon. I am so excited to contribute to this exciting project.

Chipotle Coffee Pulled Pork
You guys. This chipotle coffee pulled pork recipe is so easy and so good! I saw something on Pinterest but it had like 20 ingredients and was zero paleo. How do you replace pop in a recipe?! No clue but I won’t touch the stuff. As I perused the grocery aisles, I threw in a…

Dairy-free Cheesy Potato Soup
Dairy-free and cheese in the title might be a little confusing but hang in there with me. For as far back as I can remember, my family has been eating cheesy potato soup. It is a family favorite from my grandma to my little nieces. Unfortunately our cheesy potato soup is as far from paleo…
Paleo Chicken Parmesan Casserole
Why hello there November and Day Light Savings Time. I used to be such a fan of Day Light Savings, not anymore. Day Light Savings means the end of evening shoots for food bloggers. Gone are the days of making dinner, taking pictures and eating. Also it is getting cold! I took these pictures outside…
Crockpot Tom Kha Yum Soup
Thai lovers might be wondering why this soup is orange instead of white. Well when I lived in Los Angeles my favorite Thai restaurant’s tom kha yum soup was orange. Also they called it tom kha yum soup instead of tom kha gai. I’ve been trying desperately to recreate this soup because honestly I miss it…
Paleo Beef a la Sichuan
A couple weeks ago, I ate at P.F. Chang’s and was happy to see they now have a gluten free menu! Now that doesn’t mean everything is paleo but it is good to know I wasn’t going to get accidentally gluten bombed. I hadn’t been to a P.F. Chang’s in years and decided to forgo…
Spicy Chicken Noodle Bowls
Did anyone else wake up early Wednesday morning to see the full lunar eclipse? I set my alarm for 5:40am and stumbled out of bed camera in hand. I took a couple test shots of the moon earlier in the evening to get my settings right. Unfortunately I didn’t think about the fact the moon…
