While in Greece, I discovered each island had their own salad. My favorite salad also happened to be from my favorite island, Santorini. I’ve been dreaming about Santorini for years. I’m not really sure where my intrigue started but it manifested itself into me staring dreamily at photos of white cliff buildings overlooking clear blue…
I’m back!! I got back from my amazing European holiday early Friday morning. In my jet lag state, I almost forgot Saturday was Plaid & Paleo’s 1st Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been a year: 210 posts and 150 original recipes later. Plaid & Paleo started as a way to keep myself accountable and…
Temperatures are heating up! I love summer. I lived in LA for three years, which basically only has one season- summer. I love spring and fall, but summer is my number one season. With summer comes more time being outdoors, grilling, farmers markets and tons of fresh fruit. When I was little nothing excited me…
I say goodbye to Europe today. I don’t want to go home. I’ve had such an amazing experience. Definitely once in a lifetime, but hopefully I can come back someday! For this week’s Meaty Monday, I wanted to do a seafood dish. Sometimes I forget seafood is technically a meat. Also after attending a couple…
When I went to visit my friend in New Orleans, I had great intentions to make tons of creole food while I was there. Preparing for my trip, I whipped up 1 cup of creole seasoning. I didn’t end up using even a sprinkle of the cup! Fast forward to today, and the seasoning is…
On my trip to New Orleans, my friend and I ate at this awesome wine bar called Bacchanal by the Bywater. When enter into a normal looking wine store where you select a bottle. You can also choose from a large selection of cheese. They had a few raw cheeses, which was a big win…
My junior year of college I went through a very strange lemon poppyseed muffin phase. My university mainly sold these muffins in the libraries on campus. It got so bad I would literally just pop into one of the libraries between classes to see if they had the muffins. For some reason the lemon poppyseed…
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having an amazing day. I’m in Greece today. While I may not be in America, I will be enjoying the day in my typical fashion. Laying out on the beach or enjoying some water sports! When I was little, we attended all sorts of small town festivities because…
After attending autoimmune sessions at Paleo FX, it really got me thinking about the autoimmune protocol. Autoimmune diseases and diagnosis are growing at a semi-alarming rate. While the stats can be scary, it is so amazing to read people’s stories of how they have healed themselves with eating real food. I believe in the power…
It’s Meaty Monday! I know Mondays can be a drag since the weekend is over, but I hope Meaty Mondays make them a little better. I’ve been loving this series because I do cook a lot of meat dishes. I’m trying to incorporate more simple meals back into my blog. When I first started blogging,…
When I was little I hated oatmeal. The gooey nondescript texture paired with the strange light brown color never appealed to me. While I wasn’t chowing down on liquid oatmeal, I did love oatmeal raisin cookies. There were always plenty of oatmeal cookies left on any cookie tray because once one kid figured out they…
So I teased this recipe last Monday on my Instagram for Cinco de Mayo. I was super excited when people asked for the recipe! I would have posted it sooner, but I had some things planned for Mother’s Day. Anyways now it is up! This stuffed pepper casserole is super easy to make, and it…
