Paleo Chili-Lime Mango
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…
Paleo Italian Lettuce Wraps
While it might be summer break for kids, in the adult world there is no such thing as summer break, unfortunately. I made these paleo Italian Lettuce Wraps and packed them in my new Rover lunchbox from PlanetBox for work. I eat lunch at my desk most days. I know this is considered a big…
Slow Cooker Sweet & Spicy Beef
Temperatures are heating up here in Arizona, but I am still loving using my slow cooker. When temperatures soar into the 90s and 100s, I actually love using my slow cooker because it means I am not heating up my apartment with the stove or oven! My Slow Cooker Sweet & Spicy Beef combines sweet…
Paleo Root Beer Float
Growing up root beer floats were a summer staple in my house. As I’ve gotten older, Root Beer Floats still hold a special place in my heart that takes me right back to those hot summers as a child running around outside without a care in the world! Years before going paleo, I swore off…
Paleo Creamy Pesto Pasta
A few weeks ago, I had this amazing creamy pesto pasta dish with gluten-free noodles at a restaurant in Denver. It was so tasty! I was actually bummed that I had to leave my leftovers to my boyfriend since I was heading back to Arizona that night. I couldn’t get this dish out of my…
Paleo Mexican Salad
This Paleo Mexican Salad takes me right back to my childhood. When I was growing up, taco salad and French dressing went hand-in-hand. This might seem like a weird combination, but it is utterly delicious. The subtle sweetness of the French dressing mixes with the savory taco meat for a fulfilling and flavorful paleo meal….
Paleo Instant Pot Kung Pao Chicken
Who loves Chinese take out? I LOVE Chinese take out, but I really don’t love the questionable ingredients often found in take out food. Today I recreated one of my favorite Chinese take out recipes, Kung Pao Chicken! This Paleo Instant Pot Kung Pao Chicken couldn’t be similar. You pretty much put everything into the…
Honey-Sriracha Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts
These Honey-Sriracha Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts are so awesome! When I ate them all, I was literally sad they were gone. Does that sound crazy? Yes. But these Honey-Sriracha Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts were just that good. Vegetables are not sexy. Most people think vegetables as a necessary evil to exist and to…
Paleo Asian Chicken Salad
I think I have a new favorite work lunch with this Paleo Asian Chicken Salad! Two years ago, I made this Pomegranate Chicken Salad, and I have eaten it over and over again. I decided to use similar proportions from that recipe but swap in completely different flavors. This Asian Chicken Salad turned out better…
My Search for Safer Skincare and Beauty Products
For the last few years, I have searched for safer skincare products and makeup. Three years ago, I went ultra hippie! I no-pooed, aka washed my hair with baking soda and honey then rinsed with apple cider vinegar. I made my own deodorant and a bunch of other skincare products. After a year of this,…
Paleo Buffalo Chicken Totchos
Okay so I have been sitting on this Buffalo Chicken Totchos recipe for a while. I made these totchos in fall, and I was so obsessed. Then I realized, I didn’t write down the recipe. UGH! This is the first time I have ever completely not written down a recipe. I have three places where…
Mini Hasselback Potatoes with Herb Butter
A year ago, I got my first taste of mini hasselback potatoes during a very special Valentine’s Day dinner. This year I recreated these mini hasselback potatoes with herb butter paired with my cast-iron steak. This dinner holds a very special place in my heart and recreating it took me right back to the moment…
