Every year my family serves Paleo prime rib for Christmas lunch. There used to just be 5 of us but now there is 12 in my family. We consume an unnatural amount of prime rib now! This year’s prime rib topped out at 18 pounds. Yes 18! I realize most people will not be cooking…

Paleo Pumpkin Cookies with Orange Glaze
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…
Chocolate Cashew Clusters
We are in the Christmas countdown. My small-ish family of 5 has grown over the years to 12! Yes 12. Twelve is a lot of people to buy presents for. I went the DIY route this year and made lash lengthening serum, headache salve and eye cream for the ladies of my family. I’m not…
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…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Confession time. My sister made this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. She has the patience to remake recipes multiple times if it doesn’t work the first time. I accredit this to the fact she has three children and also an extreme sweet tooth. I on the other hand am not blessed with said patience. Give me…
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…
Spooky Banana Pops
I got this fabulous idea from Skinny Taste and really wanted to make it paleo. Last year I made almond joy bites, but I wanted to make a simple treat this year. These spooky little banana pops are so cute! I created a paleo “white chocolate” to make a hard shell around frozen bananas. My…
Macadamia Nut Chicken Tenders with Peach Mustard Sauce
One of the very first recipes on my blog was coconut crusted chicken tenders. I still love this recipe. It was one of my go-to recipes when I first started eating Paleo. Easy recipes were a lifesaver when making the transition to paleo. As I will soon celebrate my two-year paleo anniversary, I have started…
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…
Creamy Watermelon Pops
Temperatures are heating up! I love summer. I lived in LA for three years, which basically only has one season- summer. I love spring and fall, but summer is my number one season. With summer comes more time being outdoors, grilling, farmers markets and tons of fresh fruit. When I was little nothing excited me…
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,…
Strawberry Basil Cupcakes
I’m off! I leave for Europe this evening. I’m freaking out a little but I am so excited to start this adventure. Since I won’t be celebrating Mother’s Day with my mom, I wanted to make her something before I left. She requested strawberry cupcakes. The thought of making strawberry cupcakes was a little daunting…
