Paleo Chili-Lime Mango | Plaid and Paleo

A few weeks ago, I went on an amazing long weekend to Los Angeles. It was good to finally feel the warm sand between my toes and bask in the California sun. There is really nothing like the beach or the ocean breeze. For me, there is something about hearing the rolling waves of the…
