I’m back from vacation and playing some serious catchup! It is the busy season at my job plus I have something special in the works. I’m super excited but exhausted, which is funny since I just spent a week at the beach. I am so happy that summer weather has finally hit! It means I’ll…

Spicy Chicken Noodle Bowls
Did anyone else wake up early Wednesday morning to see the full lunar eclipse? I set my alarm for 5:40am and stumbled out of bed camera in hand. I took a couple test shots of the moon earlier in the evening to get my settings right. Unfortunately I didn’t think about the fact the moon…
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…
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…

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…

Paleo Spicy Italian Pasta: Guest Post on Meatified
Happy Monday! I spent way too much of the weekend watching March Madness, and then wallowing in my team’s lost. My whole mood changes with how my teams plays. Yup I’m one of those fans. After a lost, I like to take a little quiet time to myself and eat. I’m still a little bit…
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…
