Right now I am currently cooking my way through my mom’s holiday recipes. My mom is basically Betty Crocker reincarnated. I grew up in a house filled with food and treats. From homemade caramels to spritz cookies to fudge to English toffee, Christmas is always the best time of year for my mom’s treats. I…

Grain-Free Raisin Bran Cereal
I have been craving cereal lately. Maybe it is because I haven’t eaten cereal in years and want a quick breakfast. Or maybe I just miss the crunch. Either way I had a strong craving for Trix the other day. Like weirdly strong. I could recall the flavor of a cereal I haven’t eaten in…
Sweet n’ Salty Sesame Almonds
I have been missing Europe desperately lately. I still chat with the friends I met on my trip from over a year ago. We like to reminisce about long bus rides, eating new foods and simply the ridiculous scenarios we found ourselves in. The highlight of the trip for me was Greece. With the current…
Dairy-free Chamomile Pistachio Ice Cream
While in Austin, I did a little ice cream crawl with my fellow bloggers. As a recovering ice cream addict, I take my ice cream very seriously. I tried both Dolce Neve and Lick, and I am happy to report both were delicious! At Dolce Neve, I had the Chamomile Pistachio Ice cream and Chocolate…

Chocolate Cashew Clusters

Macadamia Nut Chicken Tenders with Peach Mustard Sauce
One of the very first recipes on my blog was coconut crusted chicken tenders. I still love this recipe. It was one of my go-to recipes when I first started eating Paleo. Easy recipes were a lifesaver when making the transition to paleo. As I will soon celebrate my two-year paleo anniversary, I have started…
Flax Fruit n’ Nut Bars
Yeah I only have three days left of my Whole30, but I am planning on finishing strong. I cannot lie and say I haven’t come up with like 10 easy treat ideas for when I can eat honey by the spoonful again. Just kidding, I don’t eat it by the spoonful, but I do love…
