It is still hot in Arizona. I feel like a broken record complaining about the heat but thankfully I have been finding fun ways to beat the heat. Mainly I have been relying heavily on no-cook meals or going outside as quick as I can to grill. While this Southwest Chicken Salad does require a…

Sparkling Lemon Iced Green Tea
Guys. The heat. So I knew it was going to be hot moving to Arizona, and I knew I was moving at one of the worst times of year. But you don’t understand 118 degree weather until you have walked in 118 degree weather. It is pretty much like opening your oven and then just…
Grilled Sweet Potato Fries with Southwest Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Guys! So I heard I was moving to Arizona at the worst possible time because it regularly gets above 100 degrees and even up to 120 degrees for most of the summer! While I am melting in the heat, it hasn’t stopped me from firing up the grill and enjoying one of my favorite parts…

It is getting hot, hot, hot in Arizona! This past weekend, we hit record temperatures of more than 110 degrees! Despite the heat, I fired up the grill with these Paleo Chile Pineapple Shrimp Kabobs.

Sweet Lime Plantain Chips
I am officially all moved in to Arizona but not unpacked. Thankfully I have a few days before my new job starts to settle in a little more. I can’t wait to explore my new city and find lots of local gems. I am so excited to be close to a Trader Joe’s again. I…
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…
Paleo Southwest Ranch Dip
I developed this Paleo Southwest Ranch Dip after having a bite of Hidden Valley’s Fiesta Ranch Dip. It was super tasty, but I was shocked when I read the ingredient list on the seasoning packet. I knew I could make this paleo after making my dairy-free veggie dip last year. I am officially obsessed with…

This Paleo Bacon Chicken Pasta combines crispy bacon, chicken, and sauteed mushrooms in a creamy sauce tossed with spaghetti squash noodles that won’t leave you missing traditional pasta at all! I fashioned this Paleo Bacon Chicken Pasta after traditional spaghetti…
Paleo Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs
These dill pickle deviled eggs were inspired by my potato salad recipe. Dill pickles mix with fresh dill, dijon mustard and just a hint of mayo for a creamy and flavorful dill pickle! A few years ago if you told me that I would be craving deviled eggs and coming up with creative deviled eggs…
Crockpot Corned Beef, Potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage
My first real memory of eating corned beef was a couple years ago when I was visiting my friend in New Orleans. We attended a St. Paddy’s Day parade where we caught cabbages from floats and then headed back to her place to cook up the corned beef and cabbage. Yes I realize that cabbage…
Buffalo Chicken Breakfast Casserole
I am obsessed with breakfast casseroles! Breakfast casseroles are the best way to start the day. I love them because I made one big breakfast casserole on Sunday, and then eat it throughout the week. If I don’t start my day off with a good breakfast, I find myself starving by mid-morning with lunch not…
Paleo Spicy Sausage Pasta
I don’t like parsley. I always want to add it as a garnish but this is the last time because it is gross. Parsley adds a beautiful green touch to dishes but I really don’t care for it. I guess it is kind of like the fact people either love or hate cilantro. On the…
