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…

Herb Pork Tenderloin with Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Meaty Mondays are now a thing! Okay maybe not, but I really want to start a trend here. Not just because starting a trend seems really neat, but I know I didn’t used to get enough meat in my diet. I stayed away from red meat and pork for so long, and you can only…
Paleo Twice Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes
Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. It is the only meal in which you can have a sweet or savory entree. Better yet you can mix sweet and savory together for the big win! Bacon maple pancakes anyone? Maybe I should make those too. One of the best times to eat breakfast…
Paleo March Madness Mash Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeños
So my blog was deleted from Blogger yesterday right when I was leaving for the airport. I cannot say how thankful I am to have it back up and running. I want to thank each and every reader and other paleo bloggers who reached out to help! I was on a little bit of a…
Paleo Breakfast Bowls
A year ago if you told me I would be curing my own bacon and fermenting my own kombucha, I would have laughed so hard. First I didn’t even eat bacon at that time. Second I had just learned of my new love kombucha and had no clue I could make it myself. So much…
Paleo Pot Roast
I’m on Whole30 day five!! Yeah! Only 25 more days. Ha not that I am counting down or anything. So yesterday I went a little crazy in the kitchen. I made Primal Palate gut healing gummies, Balanced Bites gummies, Elana’s Pantry apricot energy bars, Multiply Delicious fruity granola bars, all-natural deodorant, a dry face stick…
Paleo Twice Baked Sweet Potato Pasta
Happy 2014! So I definitely wrote 2013 and had to backspace. Whoops. Oh 2014 I have so much planned for you. I’m big into New Years’ Resolutions. I’m not the best at completing them, but I have always been a goal-oriented person. Last year I set a goal to read 5 books. After finishing 8…
Plaid & Paleo 2013 Top Recipes
My little blog passed it’s six-month anniversary a couple weeks ago. The time has gone by so quickly. I truly love sharing my cooking creations. This year has brought a lot of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Being able to share my paleo-journey not only keeps me accountable…
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:…
Sausage and Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole
I’m in Thanksgiving countdown mode. Since I was little I’ve spent almost every Thanksgiving on my family’s farm. Both my parents grew up on farms in rural Kansas. Now four generations gather at my mom’s childhood farm to celebrate. While cooking for a large crowd is a little daunting, I’m ready for the challenge. A…
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…
Simply Roasted Chicken and Fall Veggies
Fall is in the air. The leaves are changing color, and the temperature is dropping. I’m a huge baby when it is cold out. All I want to do is staying inside and snuggle under a blanket. With the changing seasons, I love staying inside and cooking up a hearty dinner. Roasting is my favorite…
