So my last post was basically an ode to fall. Let’s do a little 180. I go about 50/50 on if I like shrimp. It is so weird. Sometimes I love it. Other times I can’t stand the texture. RIght now I seem to be in a like phase. I had leftover sweet potato chips…

Paleo Mexican Chilaquiles
So I have a strained eye. Want to know how I got it? Evidently staring at your computer screen for four hours straight in bad lighting isn’t so good for your eyes. I really hope the Phillip Lim bag from Target is worth it! I got my official notification that it shipped today! Woo! I…
Paleo Cucumber Refresher and Cantaloupe Margarita
Last weekend my friends and I had a little Mexican Fiesta pool party. We grilled burgers and sipped on some “paleo” drinks. Now I know you are thinking. Alcohol isn’t paleo. Yes. Yes. You are probably right, but for some reason paleo people have embraced tequila and the paleo margarita. Good thing I love tequila….
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 Curry Lime Chicken
So I once again had leftover chicken except this time it wasn’t already cooked. I decided to try out a new recipe. I have come to love butterflying chicken breasts because the chicken cooks 5 times faster than a whole breast! I am always looking for ways to save time in the kitchen, and this…
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 Roasted Tomatillo-Pineapple Salsa
While cooking Asian dishes is my favorite, Mexican is a close second in my book. I make more guacamole than is probably necessary/healthy. I’m lucky living in Southern California that avocados are almost always in season. In an attempt to branch out on my Mexican dips, I have been dabbling in salsas. My mom makes…
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…
Paleo Spice-Rubbed NY Strip with Avocado-Lime Salsa
In the Summer of 2008, I wanted to get back in shape for my middle sister’s wedding. I decided on a low-fat diet. I would eat a maximum of 20 grams of fat a day. Looking back I ate so much processed non-fat food, it grosses me out now that I am on Paleo. I…
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…
Paleo Taco Salad with Guacamole
I love Mexican food. Growing up in Oklahoma, there is a surprising amount of fantastic Mexican restaurants. My typical restaurant order consists of fajita chicken enchiladas, Mexican mashed potatoes and rice with unlimited tortilla chips, salsa and quesadilla. Nothing from that is Paleo except maybe the salsa. I am still working on recreating this dish…
