I’m back!! I got back from my amazing European holiday early Friday morning. In my jet lag state, I almost forgot Saturday was Plaid & Paleo’s 1st Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been a year: 210 posts and 150 original recipes later. Plaid & Paleo started as a way to keep myself accountable and…

Paleo Buffalo Ranch Dip
I love spicy food! One of my favorite dishes is buffalo wings. Yum. Sometimes I like to push my spicy boundaries, and sometimes it backfires badly. Pre-Whole30, I let a waitress convince me that the mango habanero wings at Buffalo Wild Wings were only slightly hotter than my usual, caribbean jerk wings. As I dug…
Paleo Rotel Dip
I’m halfway done with Whole30. I feel like I’ve rounded a major bend and can see the light at the end. I’d like to say Whole30 has been a breeze, but it wouldn’t be the truth. I really like honey, like really like it! So far I’ve realized I still have a sugar problem. On…
Paleo Gingerbread Dip
Yesterday I had one of my worst recipes fails. I was attempting a new pancake recipe, which turned out to be a disaster. They were too thin. Then too thick. Then gritty. I’m still at a lost of how they were so so bad. I’m still determined to get it right and share it with…

Paleo Salted Caramel Dip
So now that fall is days away, can I start wearing sweaters and boots? No. I live in Los Angeles where there is no fall or winter. I loved this the first year I moved here, but it has faded with time. I miss fall. I miss the changing of the leaves; however, I do…
Paleo Roasted Tomatillo-Pineapple Salsa
While cooking Asian dishes is my favorite, Mexican is a close second in my book. I make more guacamole than is probably necessary/healthy. I’m lucky living in Southern California that avocados are almost always in season. In an attempt to branch out on my Mexican dips, I have been dabbling in salsas. My mom makes…
Paleo Spinach and Artichoke Dip
I know the Fourth of July is still a week away, but I am so excited. The Fourth is one of my all time favorite holidays. My perfect Fourth combines a day at the lake with my family and friends, good food and of course fireworks! Unfortunately I won’t be clocking in any lake time…
