I have mentioned I am a recovering sugar addict, and I am not kidding. I crave sweets pretty much 24/7. As I have slowly added treats back into my diet, I was excited to try inventive recipes. Growing up my mom made a fantastic key lime pie. I would beg her to make it, and…

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 Dark Chocolate Salted Almond Bites
So this week I had an intense chocolate craving and needed a fix asap. Normally I have an apple on hand to help with my sugar addiction. Unfortunately I had just ran out. There is a bakery a block from my apartment, and it was very tempting to go pick up a delicious brownie. I…
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 Lobster and Crab Seafood Boil
Just thinking about this dinner makes my mouth water! I made this while I was home with the help of my brother-in-law. Ok he really did most of it as I observed. I had to share though because it was amazing! This recipe feeds six adults, but you can decrease the amount of seafood for…
Paleo Spicy Green Breakfast Hash
Another breakfast hash!! Ok so I know I continuously call each breakfast hash my favorite, but this one is actually my favorite! It is like trying to pick your favorite pair of shoes. There is not right answer because you have a favorite for every different occasions. Maybe not the best analogy, but this hash…
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 BBQ Chicken Pizza: Leftovers Round Two
Another round of leftovers! I greatly underestimated how much chicken is in a whole chicken. For one person, it is literally enough chicken to feed me for a week or two. Using my BBQ leftovers from here, I decided to make some pizza! Big decision time- cauliflower crust, almond flour crust or coconut flour crust….
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 Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream
I miss the ice cream maker. While I don’t need gallons upon gallons of Paleo ice cream for myself, I love coming up with and trying new flavor combinations! This blackberry and rosewater ice cream combo was inspired by my sister’s love of the flavor rosewater, and the fact blackberries are currently in season. I…
