Summer is not over yet! It isn’t officially fall until September 22. While fall is probably my favorite season, I am savoring the last of summer and trying to stretch it as far as it will go. Fall recipes are popping up everywhere, but I’m still in the summer mindset. It also helps that LA…

Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Granola
Even though this was technically a “short” week, it dragged by. I went downtown to get lunch with my friend. After I attempted to see some of my favorite locations from the movie 500 Days of Summer, only to find out the infamous park bench was closed! How does a park that small close?! I’m…
Paleo Mocha Chip Pancakes with Espresso Syrup
I go in waves of being a morning person. Sometimes I will pop out of bed at 7-7:30 bright eyed and ready for the day. Then there are days when I can barely crawl out of bed by 9AM. To get by I rely on coffee. I’m a coffee addict. Maybe coffee isn’t the best…
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…
Paleo Italian Meatballs Over Spaghetti Squash
I’m in denial. It cannot be September. Wasn’t it just July?! I am not sure where the summer went. Well I know where mine went. Hours and hours in the kitchen attempting to create new recipes! Even though I’m sad summer is coming to an end, fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp…
Paleo Grilling Roundup
It’s officially the last holiday weekend of the summer. I’m not ready to let go of summer quite yet. I can’t wait to spend the weekend soaking up the sun at the beach and the pool. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I’ll be back Monday sharing a new recipe. Here are a couple of…
Paleo Hawaiian Pizza
Yesterday, my friend came over to help me style my food and take pictures. I attempted to make pancakes, burgers, a side and a layered dessert. I think I overexerted myself just a wee bit! Thankfully most of the food turned out great, except for some overly spicy burgers. I will be fixing that recipe…
Paleo Rainer Cherry and Dark Chocolate Ice Cream
One of my favorite former treats was ice cream. I used to justify eating a whole pint because it was “low fat.” I would eat a pint for dinner without a second thought. It was bad. After making my blackberry rosewater ice cream, I couldn’t wait to make another variety! I like cherries, but I…
Paleo Fried Rice and AAG Orange Chicken
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 Pink Peppercorn Grapefruit Salmon
Pink on pink on pink. I love this recipe because it is a little playful. The main three ingredients are all pink, which isn’t all that common in food. Ok so salmon might be a little more orange than pink but still. Thankfully the pink isn’t just a cute gimmick. The dish is crazy good!…
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 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…
