After a long “vacation” with my family, it feels good to finally be home. Unfortunately I have had zero time to meal plan or grocery shop. Thankfully I have a freezer full of frozen chicken to put to good use. I love this recipe because I can literally throw all the ingredients into my crockpot…
My whole idea of eating red meat in small portions basically went out the window when I visited my family. They are all big steak fans and always gave me a hard time when I decided to stop eating red meat. Now that I am eating steak again, they were more than a little excited…

Did I mention how excited I was to use a real grill this week? I love outdoor grilling and need to get my fill before I return to apartment living in LA. While meat is typically the first thing that comes to mine when you mention grilling, vegetables are a close second. Grilled vegetables take…
Growing up in the semi-South, I have a huge appreciation for BBQ. I went to college near Kansas City, which to me is the birthplace of modern barbecue. People hold true pride in the flavors they create and serve in their restaurants. Unfortunately in LA, there is barely a handful of barbecue restaurants, and none…
Birthdays on top of birthdays on top of birthdays. With the recent birth of my first nephew, my family now has three birthdays in July. I love celebrating birthdays and buying gifts for others. As a treat for my nieces, I whipped up a batch of Paleo cupcakes. The girls gobbled them up. I really…
Yup it’s another breakfast hash. I love these things! It is a great way to get veggies and protein in the morning. It fills me up so I am not starving by lunch time. I have made this hash a couple times. It is delicious but labor intensive. This time I decided to pay a…
It is time to get your grill on! One of my favorite summer past times is grilling. I love the charred and smokey flavor a grill creates. Unfortunately I don’t have a grill at my apartment, but it doesn’t stop me from making my favorite grill recipes. I’m back home for the week visiting my…
I don’t make too many Paleo treats, but every once in awhile I love to indulge. I am a recovering sugar addict mainly from cupcakes and ice cream, but I love a good cookie. When I first went on Paleo, I didn’t make treats because I wanted to dive head first into eating healthy. As…
When I was younger, one of my family’s biggest treats was going to our local Hibachi restaurant. We normally went once a year for my mom and my birthday because they are only two days apart. You get so much food you leave thinking you won’t eat again for days. Unfortunately most Hibachi is dosed…
I discovered Veggie Grill after living in Los Angeles for about a year. We don’t have this restaurant back in the Midwest, and I was a bit skeptical at first considering it is vegan. All my doubts were whisked away with a bite of the All Hail Kale Salad. I also love the buffalo wings!…
In the Summer of 2008, I wanted to get back in shape for my middle sister’s wedding. I decided on a low-fat diet. I would eat a maximum of 20 grams of fat a day. Looking back I ate so much processed non-fat food, it grosses me out now that I am on Paleo. I…
