Turkey, Sweet Potato and Broccoli Soup
So it’s November… I don’t really know how to come to terms with that considering it has been in the 90s for the past month here in Arizona. With only a few weeks until Thanksgiving, I’ve been trying to finalize my meal. Since I’m staying in Arizona for Thanksgiving, it is just three guys and…
Paleo Bacon Ranch Burger Salad
If you aren’t following me on Instagram, you may not have heard the big news… I am moving! I am very excited about a new opportunity in a new state. My apartment is in boxes and I make the big move this weekend. Things have been crazy around here but I still found time to…
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…
Cranberry Pesto Meatballs with Butternut Squash Mash
I’m recovering from a whirlwind trip to Austin, Texas. Just a little fyi a 14-hour round trip car ride isn’t the best idea for a weekend trip. While I am not the best flyer, I would take a plane over a long car ride any day. Good thing Austin was amazing! The food in Austin…

This past weekend, I helped pick out my family’s Christmas tree from a local tree farm. We used to do this every year, but the tradition has fallen to the wayside. After much convincing, we set off to pick out the perfect tree. I had my eye on something in the 7-foot range, while my…
Happy Thanksgiving
Wishing you a very happy and filling Thanksgiving from the farm! x vanessa
Paleo Italian Meatball Hoagies: Leftover Edition
I recently celebrated living in LA for three years. I can’t believe it has been three years. When I drove cross country three years ago, LA was full of new dreams and endless opportunities. A lot has changed in three years. Slowly I’ve fallen out of love with LA. I’m ready for a change. I’m…
Paleo Italian Meatballs Over Spaghetti Squash
I’m in denial. It cannot be September. Wasn’t it just July?! I am not sure where the summer went. Well I know where mine went. Hours and hours in the kitchen attempting to create new recipes! Even though I’m sad summer is coming to an end, fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp…
Turkey Sliders with Cilantro-Garlic Aioli
Okay so that name is a bit long, but its hard to leave anything out because all the different ingredients combined to make this dish so good. Whenever I buy ground turkey, my fall back is always taco salad. Forcing myself out of this rut, I took inventory of ingredients I had on hand and…
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…
