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…

Plaid & Paleo Grill Roundup
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having an amazing day. I’m in Greece today. While I may not be in America, I will be enjoying the day in my typical fashion. Laying out on the beach or enjoying some water sports! When I was little, we attended all sorts of small town festivities because…
Paleo Hawaiian Burgers with Spicy Relish
The weather has been up and down with sunshine and gloom. I planned to cook all day yesterday, but it ended up being too cloudy to take good pictures. I love natural light since I don’t have any real photo editing program. I should probably get some kind of program since sometimes there just isn’t…
Grilled Lemon Zucchini
Lately I have been being a “tourist” in my own city. After living in LA for three years, it is crazy how much I haven’t seen or done. In the last week, I’ve visited a pumpkin patch in the OC, walked around Downtown Disney in Minnie Mouse ears and found one of the two remaining…
Paleo Cajun Burgers with Caramelized Onions
This is one of two recipes where I put my cajun spice mix to use. From the results, there will be many more occasions for this spice blend. I have a serious urge to put it on everything I make! It’s so good. Yes I know it is just a spice blend, but it is…
Paleo Tailgate Foods Roundup
If you didn’t know already, it’s football season! I love football! Not all football. Specifically college football! Since my college was a basketball school, tailgating over football was more of the scene during the fall. We were lucky if we made it to the stadium. Opps. I did grow up in Oklahoma though. Home of…
Paleo Grilling Roundup
It’s officially the last holiday weekend of the summer. I’m not ready to let go of summer quite yet. I can’t wait to spend the weekend soaking up the sun at the beach and the pool. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I’ll be back Monday sharing a new recipe. Here are a couple of…
Paleo Mexican Fiesta Burgers
This weekend was filled with soaking up the last bit of summer rays before everyone buckles down and starts focusing back on work. I love summer, and I am not ready for it to end. Some friends and I threw a Mexican Fiesta pool party and got our grill on. Sipping on a couple paleo…
Paleo Grilled Peach Burgers with Balsamic Syrup
Yes more beef! I might be overdoing my re-introduction to eating red meat, but I forgot how good it tastes! One of my family’s friends raises free-range, grass-fed cows. The meat is very lean and falls apart easily, but I still wanted to make burgers. I added two eggs to the recipe to help keep…
Favorite Flank Steak: Paleo-Style
My whole idea of eating red meat in small portions basically went out the window when I visited my family. They are all big steak fans and always gave me a hard time when I decided to stop eating red meat. Now that I am eating steak again, they were more than a little excited…
Paleo Grilled Broccolini Two Ways
Did I mention how excited I was to use a real grill this week? I love outdoor grilling and need to get my fill before I return to apartment living in LA. While meat is typically the first thing that comes to mine when you mention grilling, vegetables are a close second. Grilled vegetables take…
Paleo Grilled BBQ Chicken
Growing up in the semi-South, I have a huge appreciation for BBQ. I went to college near Kansas City, which to me is the birthplace of modern barbecue. People hold true pride in the flavors they create and serve in their restaurants. Unfortunately in LA, there is barely a handful of barbecue restaurants, and none…
