Now this is a real Meaty Monday post! This pork shoulder ramen is full of meat, hearty mushrooms and zoodles. Best part- it is made in the crockpot! If you didn’t know, I love crockpot meals. They make life so easy. One of my favorite restaurants has a pork belly ramen dish. I have watched longingly…

Carrot Ginger Meatballs
Guess what?! Today is my birthday! To celebrate I figured I would share one of my favorite new recipes! These carrot ginger meatballs are out of this world! I am not exaggerating at all. Most people might celebrate with sweets, but I wanted share something you can enjoy any day of the year. The shredded…
Paleo Sweet Fire Chicken
Any Panda Express fans out there? I had my first encounter with Panda Express shortly after moving to Los Angeles. This was far before the word Paleo ever filtered through my ears. I fell hard for Panda Express. Do you want to add another entree for one dollar? Ok! How about a spring roll? Ok!…
Chorizo and Caramelized Onion Mussels
I spent this weekend at the lake with my family. I hadn’t been to the lake in years, and it was fun going out on the boat and even doing a little tubing. I distinctly remember the last time I was at the lake- Fourth of July 2012. Pictures from that trip drove me to…
Chicken Enchilada Soup
I leave New York today and as always I’m sad to leave this city. From the constant bustle of people to the food to simply the surrounds, NYC is a one-of-a-kind place. When I lived in Los Angeles, New York was an escape for me. It is the direct opposite of LA. While there are…
Italian Chicken
This weekend was exhausting. Three of my five nieces and nephew celebrated their birthdays this weekend! That is a lot of parties crammed into three days. To make it even more fun, I helped decorate all of their cakes. At some point in the not so distant past, my family discovered I have a strange…
Crockpot Balsamic Beef
It’s Meaty Monday! I know Mondays can be a drag since the weekend is over, but I hope Meaty Mondays make them a little better. I’ve been loving this series because I do cook a lot of meat dishes. I’m trying to incorporate more simple meals back into my blog. When I first started blogging,…
Tangy Tomato Glazed Meatloaf
Five years ago if you told me I would be cooking meatloaf, I would have laughed. Meatloaf was one of those strange foods from my childhood that I never understood. Eating meat in the shape of bread never appealed to me. Last year I made my very first meatloaf, and it was kind of a…
Herb Pork Tenderloin with Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Meaty Mondays are now a thing! Okay maybe not, but I really want to start a trend here. Not just because starting a trend seems really neat, but I know I didn’t used to get enough meat in my diet. I stayed away from red meat and pork for so long, and you can only…
Paleo Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken
It rained all day yesterday. I know some people love a good rainy day to stay inside. I’m not one of those people. I wouldn’t mind if it was sunny 24/7. When I lived in Los Angeles, I rarely missed the seasons. Sometimes I missed the changing of the leaves in fall, but never the…
Chow Mein Paleo Style
I have a little exciting news. I’ve come on board The Eighty Twenty as a recipe contributor. I’ve been a big fan since the beginning and couldn’t be more thrilled! The Eighty Twenty is an awesome online magazine for woman trying to balance a healthy life. There are tons of articles on fitness, books, recipes…
Paleo Spicy Italian Pasta: Guest Post on Meatified
Happy Monday! I spent way too much of the weekend watching March Madness, and then wallowing in my team’s lost. My whole mood changes with how my teams plays. Yup I’m one of those fans. After a lost, I like to take a little quiet time to myself and eat. I’m still a little bit…
