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…
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…
I spent this weekend at the lake with my family. I hadn’t been to the lake in years, and it was fun going out on the boat and even doing a little tubing. I distinctly remember the last time I was at the lake- Fourth of July 2012. Pictures from that trip drove me to…
I’m back in Oklahoma but it doesn’t feel real. My last few stops back in my home state could be categorized as temporary layovers to my next destination. This time I will be home for awhile. It is weird but good to be home. Although the travel bug hasn’t completely be quenched, my next adventure…
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…
I’ve been in an egg rut. When I got back from Europe, all I wanted was eggs on eggs on eggs with sides of bacon. Now I am on egg burn out. Usually when I get tired of eggs I turn to paleo pancakes, but I have been craving an acai bowl since my trip…
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…
My first year in college I had a meal plan like the rest of the freshman to our campus cafeteria. I was blessed with living near the nice cafeteria of the three. The first semester I loved the food and couldn’t get enough of the soft serve ice cream. By second semester, I wouldn’t step…
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…
Today is my final Europe recap. I saved Santorini for last not just because it was my final destination but it was also my favorite. During my tour, we stayed in Santorini for 2 1/2 days unfortunately those days were met with cloud cover, rain and high winds. Even the locals were freaking out about…
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…
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…
