I love finding new recipes and trying them out. I recently bought Danielle’s Against All Grain cookbook (here) and was instantly in love. There is page after page of delicious recipes that I can’t wait to make! First on my list was her crockpot orange chicken. OMG yum! This recipe is amazing. Not only is…

Paleo Tom Kha Gai Soup
I love Thai takeout. It is my favorite takeout of all the takeouts! Maybe it has something to do with the fact there is an amazing Thai restaurant walking distance from my apartment. I am happy to say I haven’t caved and gone there in a long time though. I was craving their Tom Kah…
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 Fajita Chicken with Avocado Slaw
I can’t believe the weekend is once again over. I have a confession. I have been seriously slacking on my commitment to yoga. I am making a pledge to give it my all for the next month. In other fitness news, I am considering adding Crossfit to my workout regime. I know it is way…
Paleo Sweet BBQ Chicken and Coleslaw
So after roasting a whole chicken, I needed to spruce up my leftovers a bit. I have been wanting to try a more traditional Paleo BBQ sauce for awhile. I scoured the internet and found this little gem. It contains molasses, which I wasn’t sure if it was paleo or not. After an extensive internet…
Roasting a Whole Chicken: Paleo-Style
The idea of roasting a whole chicken felt very daunting to me. I roasted a whole turkey once before for Friends-giving, which was a somewhat comical experience. Needless to say after spilling almost all the turkey drippings on the floor and then breaking an entire bottle of wine, I steered clear of any big production…
Paleo Tex-Mex Chicken Lettuce Wraps
After a long “vacation” with my family, it feels good to finally be home. Unfortunately I have had zero time to meal plan or grocery shop. Thankfully I have a freezer full of frozen chicken to put to good use. I love this recipe because I can literally throw all the ingredients into my crockpot…
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 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…
Paleo Blackened Salmon with Mango Avocado Salsa
It is time to get your grill on! One of my favorite summer past times is grilling. I love the charred and smokey flavor a grill creates. Unfortunately I don’t have a grill at my apartment, but it doesn’t stop me from making my favorite grill recipes. I’m back home for the week visiting my…
Paleo All Hail Kale Salad
I discovered Veggie Grill after living in Los Angeles for about a year. We don’t have this restaurant back in the Midwest, and I was a bit skeptical at first considering it is vegan. All my doubts were whisked away with a bite of the All Hail Kale Salad. I also love the buffalo wings!…
Paleo Oven-Roasted Tomato Gazpacho with Guacamole
I love going to my local Farmers Market on Sundays. I recently discovered one that is pretty much a stones throw from my apartment. After a couple of very hot days in LA, I was craving something refreshing and decided to try my hand on gazpacho. I found all but one ingredient at the Farmers…
