Today marks the official last day of summer. At the stroke of midnight, fall will arrive and the pumpkin everything onslaught will reach frenzied heights! Last year I only shared one pumpkin recipe, yup just one! I am more of an apple girl myself, but there are a few pumpkin things I just love. One…

Grain-free Traditional Stuffing
So this is traditional stuffing in the sense that it is my mom’s recipe, but this is technically dressing because I don’t cook it in my turkey. I just can’t bring myself to call it dressing because that is what you put on a salad. Stuffing is stuffing to me wether it is cooked in…
Bourbon Clove Applesauce
So I am going to say it… it is freezing out! Freezing. It was 70 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Yesterday I woke up and my weather app read “feels like 10 degrees.” I am not okay with this. I love fall. It was one of the things I absolutely missed when I lived in…
Pomegranate Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Life is about to get crazy! I am moving this weekend hopefully. I was hired at a new job! And I’m working hard on The Eighty-Twenty e-magazine. With everything going on, I might only share one recipe a week for the next couple weeks. I want to make sure I am giving you guys quality…
Spiced Pumpkin Cider
Paleo purists advert your little eyes because we have an adult beverage coming your way! Just kidding don’t go too far because this drink is easily made into a mocktail! I’ve been a fan of cider since my best friend studied abroad in Ireland and talked non-stop about Bulmers Cider aka Magners here in the…
Pork Shoulder Ramen
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…
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…
Paleo Fried Apples with Whiskey Caramel Sauce and Coconut Cream
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…
Loaded Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes
Thanksgiving is only a couple short weeks away! This year I want to mix up the standard Thanksgiving sides. I was stoked when I came across these little purple potatoes at my local grocery store. I did a little research and from what I’ve found purple potatoes stem from the sweet potato family. Does anyone…
Apple Cider Squash Soup
Torrential downpours didn’t stop me from finally seeing Gravity. After weeks on my to-watch list, I finally caved to the 3D ticket price. Final thoughts: I really liked it, but I didn’t love it. This could be because I saw Captain Phillips first and was completely blown away. I’ve been recommending Captain Phillips to everyone!…
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…
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…
