So I am going to say it… it is freezing out! Freezing. It was 70 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Yesterday I woke up and my weather app read “feels like 10 degrees.” I am not okay with this. I love fall. It was one of the things I absolutely missed when I lived in…

Pomegranate Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Life is about to get crazy! I am moving this weekend hopefully. I was hired at a new job! And I’m working hard on The Eighty-Twenty e-magazine. With everything going on, I might only share one recipe a week for the next couple weeks. I want to make sure I am giving you guys quality…
Zucchini Apple Slaw
Summer produce is plentiful as ever. I love going to my farmers market and see loads of local vegetables and fruit. I still miss my LA market but my new one is definitely showing a lot of promise. Sadly it will be closing in a few months, but let’s not think about that! One of…
Creamy Cucumber Salad
I leave for New York and Maine in a week! I’m so excited about this trip. First I get to see my best friend who I only see maybe once a year. Second I am taking my first trip to Maine. I’ve never traveled to New England and can’t wait to check out the food…
Paleo Potato Salad
The countdown to the Fourth is on! I leave for Florida tomorrow bright and early. I haven’t been to Florida in more than 10 years. I still remember my family vacation to Sarasota with its powder white sand beaches and amazing sunsets. This time I will be visiting the Atlantic seaboard then jaunting down to…
Creole Cauliflower “Rice”
When I went to visit my friend in New Orleans, I had great intentions to make tons of creole food while I was there. Preparing for my trip, I whipped up 1 cup of creole seasoning. I didn’t end up using even a sprinkle of the cup! Fast forward to today, and the seasoning is…
35 Summer Autoimmune Paleo Recipes
After attending autoimmune sessions at Paleo FX, it really got me thinking about the autoimmune protocol. Autoimmune diseases and diagnosis are growing at a semi-alarming rate. While the stats can be scary, it is so amazing to read people’s stories of how they have healed themselves with eating real food. I believe in the power…
Paleo Umami Brussels Sprouts
I feel like it has been forever since I did a vegetable post. Okay so I did post the bloomin’ onion a couple days ago. Evidently my memory isn’t to hot right now. I blame the weather. I’ve lost track of my days with all the snow. Well anyways, I usually try to include a…
Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole
When I first started eating paleo, I ate a ton of sweet potatoes. Before this I never ate sweet potatoes other than Thanksgiving. I am not sure why, but I always associated them as being sickly sweet. This probably stems from marshmallow covered sweet potato casserole. Now I cook sweet potatoes any variety of ways:…
Cranberry Pecan Brussels Sprouts
I love brussels sprouts. Seriously I could eat them every day. Sometimes I find this funny because until about two years ago I loathed brussels sprouts. You couldn’t pay me enough money to eat brussels sprouts. A couple years ago, everything changed. I didn’t realize I’d been eating them wrong. Steamed brussels sprouts are still…
Loaded Mashed Purple Sweet Potatoes
Thanksgiving is only a couple short weeks away! This year I want to mix up the standard Thanksgiving sides. I was stoked when I came across these little purple potatoes at my local grocery store. I did a little research and from what I’ve found purple potatoes stem from the sweet potato family. Does anyone…
Paleo Authentic Creamed Spinach
When I was younger, you couldn’t pay me to eat spinach. I didn’t like the taste at all. Cooked spinach was the absolute worst, but somewhere along the line something changed. Spinach isn’t the only vegetable I now love that used to hate. I think as we get older our preferences change. I’m not sure…
