I am kind of obsessed with my ranch seasoning. I love mixing it into interesting dishes that are far from traditional ranch dressing. Ranch seasoning mixes a unique blend of spices that bring a savory element to any dish! I love using my seasoning to make these ranch carnitas and ranch guacamole. Yes I realize…

Chipotle Tacos with Pickled Onions
Guess what? On Sunday, I celebrated my 2 year blog anniversary! I partied it up by working at my real job, but I have a very excited announcement to make… I am writing an ebook. I’ve had this idea for a cookbook for over a year, and now I am finally putting my idea to…
Tropical Mango Pork
I have been busting out my crockpot a lot lately. I know most people think crockpots are only for the winter, but I love using mine in the summer. My oven makes my apartment HOT! Making meals in my crockpot keeps my apartment at a comfortable temperature, and I get a delicious meal at the…
Rustic Chorizo Pasta
I have one word to describe how I feel right now… exhausted. After three days in Austin at Paleo f(x) followed by a 6-hour drive in a torrential downpour, all I wanted was to take a big bite of this rustic chorizo pasta. Unfortunately I ate it all before I left along with the rest…
Asian Pork Stir fry
I am always down for a quick and easy meal! The less clean up, the better is my motto. I tend to make a huge mess in the kitchen. I don’t even know how. One minute I am stirring something in a bowl and then suddenly there are five dirty pots and pans, whisks, wooden…
Chipotle Coffee Pulled Pork
You guys. This chipotle coffee pulled pork recipe is so easy and so good! I saw something on Pinterest but it had like 20 ingredients and was zero paleo. How do you replace pop in a recipe?! No clue but I won’t touch the stuff. As I perused the grocery aisles, I threw in a…

Most people might celebrate with sweets, but I wanted share something you can enjoy any day of the year. The shredded…
Chimichanga Breakfast Skillet
So this weekend was rough. Well rough in the sports world. My alma mater is known as a basketball university but I still love football; however, watching my school play football is something of a painful experience. We were actually pretty good when I was in college but oh how the team has fallen. We…
Sweet n’ Sour Meatballs
This weekend flew by! I’m suffering from a Game of Thrones hangover. I mentioned last week I just started watching. Well I am now ready for the fourth season. Oops! I don’t normally binge watch TV but I got sucked in. All of this meant I put off cooking until yesterday and then spent the…
Southwestern Shredded Pork
After abstaining from pork for 6 years, my first time eating pork besides bacon was this Christmas Eve when I made Nom Nom Paleo’s Kalua Shredded Pork. I was so surprised how much I enjoyed the meat and couldn’t even tell it was pork. Since then I have still been a little pork shy. I’ve…

Did you know I write over on The Eighty Twenty? I am absolutely in love with this site and adore the other women contributing. I’m sure you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule when it comes to food, but The Eighty Twenty applies this to everything. Life is about balance. There is a time for work…
