New here? Sign up for my newsletter and receive my free ebook “25 Quick and Easy Paleo Meals!. Thanks for visiting! This pesto. Wow. I’ve made a bunch of pestos over the years, but there was something about this one that just wow-d me. Also I might be a little biased because all the basil…
Yea it is gift buying season! I love buying other people presents. I take forever attempting to pick out the perfect present. I went through a very long DIY phase. I’m not sure how much my family enjoyed their homemade gifts. Holiday shopping can be crazy and make you crazy. My key to avoiding the…
Sometimes I just want to be lazy. I don’t feel like cooking anything, and I wish food would miraculously appear in front of me. This Gingerbread Chia Pudding basically makes itself. Ok so not really, but it is really easy to whip up! One of my favorite holiday cookies is gingersnaps. This Gingerbread Chia Pudding…
This weekend I attended my first book club meet up. Now this might not sound like everyone’s cup of tea, but it is right up my alley. Next to cooking I love reading. I set a New Year’s Resolution to read 100 books in 2013. I’m only three books from completing my goal! I normally…
Who loves brunch? I absolutely love brunch. It is the best of both worlds. Breakfast and lunch together. I used to be plagued with the decision between sweet and savory at restaurants. Now I tend toward savory when eating out because it is easy to order paleo-friendly savory dishes. At home I like to whip…
I love a good chicken recipe. While chicken might not be the most alluring meat, it is arguably one of the most versatile. With a simple glaze or marinade you can take chicken from spicy to sweet to savory. This recipe shines by being a little bit of everything. The initial sweetness is paired with a…
Thank goodness for apple season! I’m super bummed I didn’t get to go apple picking this year. In fact I’ve never gone apple picking, but I was really pumped to go this year. Unfortunately lots of the orchards in southern California ran out of apples early this season! Thankfully there are plenty of locally grown…
Thanksgiving is only a couple short weeks away! This year I want to mix up the standard Thanksgiving sides. I was stoked when I came across these little purple potatoes at my local grocery store. I did a little research and from what I’ve found purple potatoes stem from the sweet potato family. Does anyone…
Torrential downpours didn’t stop me from finally seeing Gravity. After weeks on my to-watch list, I finally caved to the 3D ticket price. Final thoughts: I really liked it, but I didn’t love it. This could be because I saw Captain Phillips first and was completely blown away. I’ve been recommending Captain Phillips to everyone!…
Last night I asked people on Instagram if I should try a new workout such as crossfit or barre3. I loved the response so I thought I would open up the discussion here. Until this summer, I attended Moksha hot yoga classes 3-4 times a week. Unfortunately during the summer hot yoga isn’t so much…
Fall is in the air. The leaves are changing color, and the temperature is dropping. I’m a huge baby when it is cold out. All I want to do is staying inside and snuggle under a blanket. With the changing seasons, I love staying inside and cooking up a hearty dinner. Roasting is my favorite…
Happy Halloween! I love Halloween. Well maybe not all the scary stuff. Ok I really just love trying to come up with a creative costume. After college, there are not too many opportunities to dress up in costumes without seeming crazy. Some years I get really into selecting my costume and trying to be super…
I wish I never learned to make a mug cake. Since I stumbled upon PaleOMG’s mug cake recipe a couple weeks ago, I’ve had to exhibit extreme self-control not to make one every day. I can’t say I have the best self-restraint. I’ve made four mug cakes in two weeks. Whoops. I don’t recommend making…
