The other night I had a potluck dinner with some friends. I love bringing over Paleo dishes and showcasing the fact there are tons of recipe options. In college, I discovered jalapeño poppers. How I never knew about these little bites of spicy goodness, I cannot tell you! Stuffed with cream cheese and shredded cheddar…
I love going to my local Farmers Market on Sundays. I recently discovered one that is pretty much a stones throw from my apartment. After a couple of very hot days in LA, I was craving something refreshing and decided to try my hand on gazpacho. I found all but one ingredient at the Farmers…
I might have already mentioned my love of breakfast hashes. If not, I’m saying it now. I love breakfast hash. Every time I make a new version, I fall a little bit more in love. There are limitless possibilities when it comes to making breakfast hashes. I make both sweet and savory hashes but was…
Okay so that name is a bit long, but its hard to leave anything out because all the different ingredients combined to make this dish so good. Whenever I buy ground turkey, my fall back is always taco salad. Forcing myself out of this rut, I took inventory of ingredients I had on hand and…
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I spent most of the weekend relaxing and contemplating what to cook this week. After hearing rave reviews about Paleo Mayo, I decided it was time to attempt to make my own. Growing up I was more of a Miracle Whip girl. I actually hated pretty much…
It’s the final day of around the world with Plaid and Paleo, unofficially renamed around the southeast continent of Asia. I gravitate toward Asian flavors in my cooking sometimes unintentionally. When I came across this recipe, the name really stuck out to me, and the fact the recipe is paired with one of my new…
Have a very happy, safe and hopefully healthy Fourth of July! I will be celebrating my second favorite holiday with my friends and can’t wait to see some awesome fireworks! I’ll be back tomorrow with my conclusion of around the world cuisine, which more appropriately should have been called my favorite Asian foods “Paleo Style.” …
Day three of around the world cuisine and yes we are staying in continent of Asia. Continuing my love for Thai food, I found this amazing substitute for Pad See Ew. This was one of my first Paleo recipes I tried. I was skeptical at first. Carrots instead of egg noodles?! I don’t even like…
I discovered Pad Thai in college, and it was love at first bite. I love spicy food. Seriously the hotter the better. Might as well burn my taste buds off. Okay not that bad, but you get the picture. Last year, Thai takeout became a staple in my weekly meals. Not only does takeout add…
I deem this week around the world cuisine on Plaid and Paleo. Growing up in Kansas and Oklahoma, there wasn’t a large array of ethnic food other than Mexican. Also my family’s palates were fairly strictly in tuned toward classical flavors.I started to slowly branch out into the world of ethnic restaurants in college and…
There is something about Saturdays I just love. I am not rushing out of bed when my alarm goes off. I don’t really sleep in, but I enjoy having the day to myself. One of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings is make myself a nice breakfast. It starts my day off right,…
I know the Fourth of July is still a week away, but I am so excited. The Fourth is one of my all time favorite holidays. My perfect Fourth combines a day at the lake with my family and friends, good food and of course fireworks! Unfortunately I won’t be clocking in any lake time…
