While it might be summer break for kids, in the adult world there is no such thing as summer break, unfortunately. I made these paleo Italian Lettuce Wraps and packed them in my new Rover lunchbox from PlanetBox for work. I eat lunch at my desk most days. I know this is considered a big…

Paleo Asian Chicken Salad
I think I have a new favorite work lunch with this Paleo Asian Chicken Salad! Two years ago, I made this Pomegranate Chicken Salad, and I have eaten it over and over again. I decided to use similar proportions from that recipe but swap in completely different flavors. This Asian Chicken Salad turned out better…
25+ Paleo Mason Jar Recipes
Ever since mason jars popularity soared from a combination of Pinterest and craft brides, I’ve been in love with the previously underrated jar. I use mason jars as drinking glasses, non-perishable storage and more. My favorite things to use mason jars for is paleo mason jar recipes! I love the grab-and-go nature of a mason…
Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
When I set out to make this recipe, I wanted to recreate my favorite Spicy Lentil Wrap from Trader Joe’s. In my pre-paleo days, this wrap was a lifesaver when I needed something quick and delicious to eat. I haven’t had this wrap in years because A-it isn’t even close to paleo and B-there is…
Balsamic Ginger Steak Salad
So Meaty Monday snuck up on my this week! This weekend I planned to cook a lot but got caught up with my nieces and nephew’s birthdays. Sometimes life is more important than cooking. I have 4 nieces and a nephew and three of their birthdays are in July. It makes for a busy July…

Plaid & Paleo 2013 Top Recipes
My little blog passed it’s six-month anniversary a couple weeks ago. The time has gone by so quickly. I truly love sharing my cooking creations. This year has brought a lot of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Being able to share my paleo-journey not only keeps me accountable…
Simple Oven Dill Salmon
I’m going slightly stir crazy. I’m still in Oklahoma, snowed in and carless. It’s been years since I’ve been snowed in, and now I remember exactly why I moved somewhere without snow. Snow is pretty to look at and fun to ski in, but I hate driving in snow. It’s slick and loves hiding ice…
Paleo Cranberry Turkey Meatballs
This past weekend, I helped pick out my family’s Christmas tree from a local tree farm. We used to do this every year, but the tradition has fallen to the wayside. After much convincing, we set off to pick out the perfect tree. I had my eye on something in the 7-foot range, while my…
Paleo Chicken, Squash and Mushroom Stew
I am pretty sure I stored enough food away on Thanksgiving to hold me over until spring. Ok not really. But I did get pretty full. This year was my second paleo-Thanksgiving, and it was even better than last year. I was a little more than excited when my stuffing, which is actually dressing, tasted…
Paleo Spicy Orange Shrimp
Since eating spoonfuls of hot sauce is frowned upon and kind of gross, I knew I wanted to make a recipe for my homemade chili garlic sauce. Ok well maybe I wanted to make the recipe first then made the chili garlic sauce. This is a chicken or the egg dilemma. Either way I’m happy…
Paleo Italian Meatball Hoagies: Leftover Edition
I recently celebrated living in LA for three years. I can’t believe it has been three years. When I drove cross country three years ago, LA was full of new dreams and endless opportunities. A lot has changed in three years. Slowly I’ve fallen out of love with LA. I’m ready for a change. I’m…
