The holidays are upon us. I still can’t believe it is Christmas week and that 2016 is just a few short days away. Every Christmas Eve my family eats an assortment of appetizers before we open presents. Yes we open presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas, and I love it no matter how old…

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs
In my pre-paleo days, I loved Italian food. Fettuccine alfredo, mushroom ravioli, spaghetti with meat sauce, and chicken parmesan. I still love Italian food, and I’ve made a few recreations over the years: chicken marsala, lasagna and creamy chicken pasta. One night I was struck with the idea to make chicken parmesan meatballs, and I…
Carrot Ginger Meatballs
Guess what?! Today is my birthday! To celebrate I figured I would share one of my favorite new recipes! These carrot ginger meatballs are out of this world! I am not exaggerating at all. Most people might celebrate with sweets, but I wanted share something you can enjoy any day of the year. The shredded…
Sweet n’ Sour Meatballs
This weekend flew by! I’m suffering from a Game of Thrones hangover. I mentioned last week I just started watching. Well I am now ready for the fourth season. Oops! I don’t normally binge watch TV but I got sucked in. All of this meant I put off cooking until yesterday and then spent the…
Sesame Almonds
Did you know I write over on The Eighty Twenty? I am absolutely in love with this site and adore the other women contributing. I’m sure you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule when it comes to food, but The Eighty Twenty applies this to everything. Life is about balance. There is a time for work…
Enchilada Pasta
Introducing Meaty Mondays! I’m sure you have heard of Meatless Mondays, but I want to make Meaty Mondays a thing! After attending Paleo fx (I will probably being using this phrase obnoxiously for the next two weeks), I realized it is so important to be eating meat. Not just any meat, but a wide variety…
Cranberry Pesto Meatballs with Butternut Squash Mash
I’m recovering from a whirlwind trip to Austin, Texas. Just a little fyi a 14-hour round trip car ride isn’t the best idea for a weekend trip. While I am not the best flyer, I would take a plane over a long car ride any day. Good thing Austin was amazing! The food in Austin…
Paleo Twice Baked Sweet Potato Pasta
Happy 2014! So I definitely wrote 2013 and had to backspace. Whoops. Oh 2014 I have so much planned for you. I’m big into New Years’ Resolutions. I’m not the best at completing them, but I have always been a goal-oriented person. Last year I set a goal to read 5 books. After finishing 8…
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…
