Lately I have been being a “tourist” in my own city. After living in LA for three years, it is crazy how much I haven’t seen or done. In the last week, I’ve visited a pumpkin patch in the OC, walked around Downtown Disney in Minnie Mouse ears and found one of the two remaining…

No Bake Pumpkin Cookies
Yeah more pumpkin! This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my friend in Orange County. I haven’t been to a pumpkin patch in years, and it was so much fun! Pumpkins as far as the eye can see! After an hour of walking around, we both settled on a couple of pumpkins. I’m…
Paleo Chicken Tajine with Cauliflower Rice
Fall has officially began in LA. Well maybe not. It is supposed to be in the low-70s this weekend, but it is getting down to the low-50s at night! Yes I realize that may not seem very cold, but I’m convinced the 50s in LA are colder than the 50s in the Midwest. This probably…
Paleo Bacon Blue Cheese Spin Dip
While attempting to watch OU football last Saturday, someone asked me if I went there because I was cheering for them. I told them no, I went to KU. His response, “Oh so you tolerate football, but love basketball.” My friend burst out laughing and goes “you hit the nail on the head.” Evidently my…
Paleo Crockpot Chicken Tomato Soup
Two crockpot recipes in a week! I’m giving my crockpot some serious love. I was talking about my current crockpot obsession with my friend, and she found it so funny I called it a crockpot. I guess the more refined term is “slow cooker,” but it has been a crockpot to me my whole life….
Crockpot Berry Glazed Chicken
With fall brings crockpot season! I always forget how much I love my crockpot until cool weather rolls around. I tend to be a messy cook. I try to clean while cooking and still end up with a huge mess in my kitchen. This is where the crockpot comes in. Everything goes into one pot…
Paleo Butternut Squash Lasagna with Cashew Cheese
Sometimes I really miss Italian food. It is probably the hardest cuisine to convert to Paleo. I used to gorge myself on fettuccine alfredo. Now I can’t imagine eating such a heavy dish. Since investing in a spiral veggie cutter, I’ve been able to dabble in more Italian paleo friendly dishes with my zucchini noodles….
Paleo Cajun Burgers with Caramelized Onions
This is one of two recipes where I put my cajun spice mix to use. From the results, there will be many more occasions for this spice blend. I have a serious urge to put it on everything I make! It’s so good. Yes I know it is just a spice blend, but it is…
Raw Red Currant Jam
Ok so I got the pumpkin out of my system. Well kind of. I have more recipes to come. Those can wait until later, or I might have to change my blog’s name to pumpkin and paleo. Just kidding. But no really, I might have gone a little overboard. The other week I picked up…
Pumpkin Almond Dip
I’m pretty sure I have mentioned my love of almond butter before. It is a serious love that I don’t see fading anytime soon. Thankfully I have stopped eating spoonfuls just by itself. Since I opened a can of pumpkin for my homemade pumpkin spiced lattes, the can has been tempting me to use it…
Spicy Pumpkin Pasta
I’m sad it’s the last day of September. September is my favorite month of the year and not just because it is my birthday month. September means the beginning of fall. Oklahoma summers can be scorching and fall weather is always a relief. In LA September means less crowded beaches and still plenty of sun….
Cajun Spice Mix
So there is a small possibility that I am addicted to Pinterest. I find so many great recipes via Pinterest. My browsing usually ends in an hour long binge. I can’t stop. There is also a lot of strange stuff on Pinterest. While I was perusing the food and drink category the other night, I…
