It is still Hatch Chile season! I love being able to buy fresh roasted hatch chiles at my local Whole Foods. I love the spicy, smokey flavor of hatch chiles. One of my favorite pre-paleo snacks was hummus. I loved the creamy texture and all the different flavors that could be imposed on the semi-neutral…

Sweet n’ Salty Sesame Almonds
I have been missing Europe desperately lately. I still chat with the friends I met on my trip from over a year ago. We like to reminisce about long bus rides, eating new foods and simply the ridiculous scenarios we found ourselves in. The highlight of the trip for me was Greece. With the current…
Mocha Almond Kind Bars
So Kind Bars have been getting a bad rap lately. I understand the FDA’s concerns but seriously there are 10x worst things out there. I pretty much take what the FDA says with a grain of salt. I do indulge in Kind Bars every once in a while, and my favorite is the Dark Chocolate…
Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs
You might be thinking… why are those deviled eggs purple? I successfully attempted to dye my own eggs naturally. I followed the directions The Curious Coconut posted from the new book The Homegrown Paleo Cookbook by Diana Rodgers. I have to say I am pretty proud how these eggs turned out, and not just because…
Detox Green Juice Gummies
Spring has finally arrived! Thank goodness. I wasn’t sure I could take one more day of winter. With the return of Spring came Day Lights Saving. I awoke Sunday morning thinking I actually slept in for once. I jumped out of bed ecstatic only to realize my phone automatic “sprung forward,” and I had in…
BBQ Chicken Dip
It is Superbowl time once again. If you couldn’t tell from my previous wings recipe, I love cooking game day appetizers! There is just something about watching a game and digging into wings, dips and more. My buffalo ranch dip is one of my most popular recipes I made for the Superbowl last year. It…
Sweet and Tangy Lil’ Smokies
I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and also a filling one! I stuffed my belly with turkey, grain-free stuffing, raw cranberry sauce, pomegranate balsamic brussels sprouts and Fed + Fit’s apple pie from her new ebook. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite food holidays. I will eat and eat and eat with little or…
Bourbon Clove Applesauce
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…
Turkey Cucumber Roll Ups
I spent the weekend in Kansas at my alma mater, the University of Kansas. It was a great time with friends in a city that stole my heart years ago. Lawrence, Kansas is the quintessential college town full of students, extreme enthusiasm for sports, tons of bars and its own unique flair. There is nothing…
Nut-Free Matcha Granola
Fall is officially here. The day before the official start of fall, the weather cooled off. I’m still getting used to the changing seasons. In Los Angeles, the difference between summer and winter was a 20 degree spread. The gradual change from 80s to 60s goes almost unnoticed until it is back to 80s. This…
Dairy-free Veggie Dip
Better late than never. I had all intention of putting this recipe up yesterday, but then life happened and rain happened. Did you know taking pictures when it is raining is the worst? I am considering buying some lights so rain can’t derail my photo days, but I don’t even know where to start. I…
Macadamia Nut Chicken Tenders with Peach Mustard Sauce
One of the very first recipes on my blog was coconut crusted chicken tenders. I still love this recipe. It was one of my go-to recipes when I first started eating Paleo. Easy recipes were a lifesaver when making the transition to paleo. As I will soon celebrate my two-year paleo anniversary, I have started…
