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…

Favorite Flank Steak: Paleo-Style
My whole idea of eating red meat in small portions basically went out the window when I visited my family. They are all big steak fans and always gave me a hard time when I decided to stop eating red meat. Now that I am eating steak again, they were more than a little excited…

Paleo Blackened Salmon with Mango Avocado Salsa
It is time to get your grill on! One of my favorite summer past times is grilling. I love the charred and smokey flavor a grill creates. Unfortunately I don’t have a grill at my apartment, but it doesn’t stop me from making my favorite grill recipes. I’m back home for the week visiting my…
Paleo Lemon Pepper Breakfast Hash
I might have already mentioned my love of breakfast hashes. If not, I’m saying it now. I love breakfast hash. Every time I make a new version, I fall a little bit more in love. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to making breakfast hashes. I make both sweet and savory hashes but was…
Paleo Potsticker Asian Turkey Burgers with Asian Coleslaw
It’s the final day of around the world with Plaid and Paleo, unofficially renamed around the southeast continent of Asia. I gravitate toward Asian flavors in my cooking sometimes unintentionally. When I came across this recipe, the name really stuck out to me, and the fact the recipe is paired with one of my new…
Paleo Pad See Ew
Day three of around the world cuisine and yes we are staying in continent of Asia. Continuing my love for Thai food, I found this amazing substitute for Pad See Ew. This was one of my first Paleo recipes I tried. I was skeptical at first. Carrots instead of egg noodles?! I don’t even like…
Paleo Pad Thai with “Sunshine Sauce”
I discovered Pad Thai in college, and it was love at first bite. I love spicy food. Seriously the hotter the better. Might as well burn my taste buds off. Okay not that bad, but you get the picture. Last year, Thai takeout became a staple in my weekly meals. Not only does takeout add…
Paleo Banana Pancakes for One
There is something about Saturdays I just love. I am not rushing out of bed when my alarm goes off. I don’t really sleep in, but I enjoy having the day to myself. One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is make myself a nice breakfast. It starts my day off right,…
Coconut Chicken Tenders
These coconut chicken tenders never disappoint as one of my go-to dishes for lunch or a quick supper. I have fun creating different dipping sauces to mix up the flavor, peach mustard, spicy ketchup aka ketchup and franks mixed together, and bbq sauce. I like to pair my coconut chicken tenders with some kind of vegetable…
Paleo Sweet Potato and Sausage Breakfast Hash
(Disclaimer: Tastes WAY better than this picture looks) Next to dessert my next favorite meal is hands down brunch. It is the perfect combination of breakfast and lunch and goes so well with a mimosa. While mimosas aren’t the regular during the work week, my love of brunch foods transitions to breakfast. Since starting Paleo,…
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…
