So this weekend was rough. Well rough in the sports world. My alma mater is known as a basketball university but I still love football; however, watching my school play football is something of a painful experience. We were actually pretty good when I was in college but oh how the team has fallen. We…

Mason Jar Breakfast Casserole
One of my most popular recipes is my sweet potato and sausage breakfast casserole. I love this dish so much, and it is perfect for feeding large families. Most of the time though I am cooking for just myself. I want to start sharing more recipes with smaller serving sizes because I know I can’t…
Macadamia Nut Chicken Tenders with Peach Mustard Sauce
One of the very first recipes on my blog was coconut crusted chicken tenders. I still love this recipe. It was one of my go-to recipes when I first started eating Paleo. Easy recipes were a lifesaver when making the transition to paleo. As I will soon celebrate my two-year paleo anniversary, I have started…
Sweet n’ Sour Meatballs
This weekend flew by! I’m suffering from a Game of Thrones hangover. I mentioned last week I just started watching. Well I am now ready for the fourth season. Oops! I don’t normally binge watch TV but I got sucked in. All of this meant I put off cooking until yesterday and then spent the…
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…
Chicken Enchilada Soup
I leave New York today and as always I’m sad to leave this city. From the constant bustle of people to the food to simply the surrounds, NYC is a one-of-a-kind place. When I lived in Los Angeles, New York was an escape for me. It is the direct opposite of LA. While there are…
Southwestern Shredded Pork
After abstaining from pork for 6 years, my first time eating pork besides bacon was this Christmas Eve when I made Nom Nom Paleo’s Kalua Shredded Pork. I was so surprised how much I enjoyed the meat and couldn’t even tell it was pork. Since then I have still been a little pork shy. I’ve…
Italian Chicken
This weekend was exhausting. Three of my five nieces and nephew celebrated their birthdays this weekend! That is a lot of parties crammed into three days. To make it even more fun, I helped decorate all of their cakes. At some point in the not so distant past, my family discovered I have a strange…
Creamy Cucumber Salad
I leave for New York and Maine in a week! I’m so excited about this trip. First I get to see my best friend who I only see maybe once a year. Second I am taking my first trip to Maine. I’ve never traveled to New England and can’t wait to check out the food…
Balsamic Ginger Steak Salad
So Meaty Monday snuck up on my this week! This weekend I planned to cook a lot but got caught up with my nieces and nephew’s birthdays. Sometimes life is more important than cooking. I have 4 nieces and a nephew and three of their birthdays are in July. It makes for a busy July…
Fire Roasted Pepper Burgers
I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July! I’m sad to leave Florida today. I’ve been enjoying the ocean breeze, salt water and sand. I truly miss living by the beach. When I was little I dreamed about living near the beach, but never actually thought it would happen. Now that I’m back in…
Paleo Potato Salad
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…
