Right now I am currently cooking my way through my mom’s holiday recipes. My mom is basically Betty Crocker reincarnated. I grew up in a house filled with food and treats. From homemade caramels to spritz cookies to fudge to English toffee, Christmas is always the best time of year for my mom’s treats. I…
One of my favorite local restaurants makes this amazing loaded mashed potato bake. I am obsessed with it and order it any time I go there. I’ve been wanting to make it paleo for a while but kept going back and forth between making it with cauliflower or white sweet potatoes. I am so happy…
This vegan peppermint fudge is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Decadent fudge makes for the perfect holiday treat. The peppermint is not only a delicious accent flavor but peppermint has its own health benefits. Peppermint has said to help with headaches and boost concentration. So I will just tell myself…
Now that pumpkin everything season is over, it is time to give the best fall flavor its time to shine! I love apples, apple cobbler and apple pie. If I had to choose, I will pick apple pie over pumpkin every time. Sorry pumpkin. I am constantly searching for grab-and-go snacks. When eating paleo, you…
When I was in Dallas earlier this fall, I ate this amazing Fall Breakfast Hash at Origins Kitchen + Bar. It was filled with butternut squash, pears, bacon, dried cranberries and pepitas topped with a perfectly poached egg. Dallas has amazing food, and every time I visit I find new places to love. I wanted…
With the holidays just around the corner, the changing seasons have me nostalgic for my family’s holiday recipes. I can’t image Thanksgiving without my mom’s stuffing, apple pie and creamed corn. Growing up and still to this day, my main job has always been to put together the relish tray. This might not seem like…
Searing chicken in a cast-iron skillet then finishing it in the oven is probably my new favorite way to cook chicken. It creates a crispy skin while maintaining a juicy center. This Lemon and Thyme Chicken Thighs from the Paleo Cupboard cookbook are the perfect simple dinner to make with ingredients you probably already have…
Can you believe Thanksgiving is just over 2 weeks away?! I can’t believe how fast 2015 has flown by. Every year around 30 members of my extended family gather at my grandparent’s farm house in the middle of nowhere. It is a time for family, fun and lots of food! I created this winter squash…
Sweet potatoes are a great side dish that pair well with almost any meal! Before paleo, I thought of sweet potatoes purely as a Thanksgiving vegetable. This all changed after going paleo. Sweet potatoes provide a wide array of nutrients from vitamin C, antioxidants to paleo-friendly carbs! They are a versatile vegetable that can be…
Fall is almost synonymous with chili. A warm bowl of chili is the perfect meal to curl up inside and enjoy on a cold day. Using a crockpot makes this chili super easy. The smokey poblano pepper gives the chili a kick and balances the sweet pumpkin. This poblano pumpkin chili is the perfect mix…
The day is finally here! The idea of Paleo for One has been swimming around my head for more than a year, but I was too nervous to put my idea into action until this summer. This summer I committed to making Paleo for One happen because I truly believe in the idea. Since going…
It’s football season! And I couldn’t care less… just kidding. Kind of. I live in a state where college football is king, but I am a basketball girl at heart. The one thing about football I can get behind is tailgating! In my opinion, tailgating might be the best part of the game because there…
