Summer is here once again. My first day of summer was welcomed with cloudy skies and freezing rain. Oh Colorado, you definitely are confused with your seasons this year. I felt like winter was never going to end, especially after a late May snow, which killed nearly all of my flowers but thankfully my garden…

Paleo Butternut Squash Hummus
This recipe guys. This Paleo Butternut Squash Hummus turned out better than I could have even imaged! I had a similar dish when visiting my family in Oklahoma, and I knew immediately that I needed to make it at home. Creamy roasted butternut squash mixes with nutty tahini, garlic and a hint of lemon then…

Paleo Starbucks Pink Ombre Drink
All summer long, I have been sipping on this Pink Ombre Drink! After having the original version at Starbucks, I knew I had to recreate it at home like I did the Pink Drink last year. This Paleo Pink Ombre Drink differs from the standard Pink Drink with the addition of lime and passion tea!…
Sweet Corn Salad
A few weeks ago, I headed back to Iowa with my boyfriend for his small town’s festival called “Sweet Corn Festival.” His town tops out at about 4,000 residents but more than 12,000 people flock to the tiny town for a weekend-long party complete with 5k, parade, beer garden and of course lots and lots…
Paleo Avocado Everything Bagels
So these Paleo Avocado Everything Bagels aren’t really bagels, but they feature all my favorite bagel things: everything seasoning, avocados and of course cream cheese!

Vegan Key Lime Pie Dip
Growing up my mom’s key lime pie was one of my absolute favorite deserts. The creamy combination of sour and sweet hit the spot every time! I wanted to create my mom’s pie but put my own spin on it, so I decided to create this Paleo and Vegan Key Lime Pie Dip. If you…
Red, White and Blue Paleo Parfait
How is it almost July? Where is 2017 going, and why is it going by so fast? One good thing about it almost being July, means that July 4th is right around the corner. I love the Fourth of July! There is nothing better that outdoor grilling, fireworks, and spending time with friends and family….
Paleo Sriracha Ranch Coleslaw
Guys… and girls… the 100 degree temperatures are already starting here in Arizona, and I am already melting. When the temperatures begin to rise, I find myself gravitating toward no cook meals and side dishes. Coleslaw is one of my favorite summer time side dishes. There is just something about summer barbecues and coleslaw that…
Paleo Root Beer Float
Growing up root beer floats were a summer staple in my house. As I’ve gotten older, Root Beer Floats still hold a special place in my heart that takes me right back to those hot summers as a child running around outside without a care in the world! Years before going paleo, I swore off…
Paleo Jalapeño Popper Dip
Two weekends ago, I took a little spur of the moment trip to Denver for a friend’s home warming party. Everyone brought over tons of food and sides. I was in food heaven! There was an amazing jalapeño popper dip there that I knew I needed to make paleo asap, especially with the Super bowl…
Paleo Chocolate Cashew Smoothie Bowl
When I first went Paleo, I searched high and low for healthy, wholesome snacks to keep on hand and to keep me on track. One of my favorite finds was LARABARs. There were so many fun flavors to choose, which initially drew me to LARABAR! Four years later, LARABAR continues to be on of my…
