I have been working really hard on improving my food pictures. My friend Rachel let me come over a cook, and then she helped me style my food! I am so excited how these photos turned out. They really do the recipe justice. I have come along way since my green chevron print with red…
The January Whole30-ers might be done just in time for Superbowl Sunday, but that doesn’t mean you should derail your diet. I’ve rounded up 20+ Whole30 Superbowl Snacks. I love the Superbowl. Or maybe I just like throwing theme parties. Who knows? For me, it isn’t a Superbowl party without chili, hot wings, sliders and…
I love spicy food! One of my favorite dishes is buffalo wings. Yum. Sometimes I like to push my spicy boundaries, and sometimes it backfires badly. Pre-Whole30, I let a waitress convince me that the mango habanero wings at Buffalo Wild Wings were only slightly hotter than my usual, caribbean jerk wings. As I dug…
A year ago if you told me I would be curing my own bacon and fermenting my own kombucha, I would have laughed so hard. First I didn’t even eat bacon at that time. Second I had just learned of my new love kombucha and had no clue I could make it myself. So much…
My pork belly finally finished curing and was ready for the smoker yesterday. I used a mixture of hickey and cherry wood that gave the bacon a very unique flavor. I’m so happy how it turned out! I’ll share all of what I did later this week. This weekend I’ve been teasing these gummies on…
I’m halfway done with Whole30. I feel like I’ve rounded a major bend and can see the light at the end. I’d like to say Whole30 has been a breeze, but it wouldn’t be the truth. I really like honey, like really like it! So far I’ve realized I still have a sugar problem. On…
After being home a couple days, I am missing the bustling city. You might be thinking, but you live in Los Angeles that is a huge city. Well I actually moved back to Oklahoma a little before Thanksgiving. Yup I have been back in the Midwest for almost three months now. I loved living in…
I can’t believe the weekend is already over. My sister and I drove down to Dallas for Michelle of Nom Nom Paleo’s book signing. It was so much fun. I was surprised how many paleo-friendly and gluten-free restaurants are in Dallas! We ate at HG Sply Co and The Company Cafe. Both were incredibly delicious….
I’m not even sure I can call this a review. Maybe it should be more appropriately labeled: cooking my way through Michelle and Henry’s amazing cookbook. Have you seen the movie Julie & Julia? Basically a woman cooks through one of Julia Child’s cookbooks and blogs about it. I want to do that to Food…
I’m currently curing my own bacon and cannot wait to put it into the smoker. When I purchased my pork belly I got a big piece. I don’t even know if you could call it a piece. More like half a piggy. Thirteen pounds worth. Instead of turning it all into bacon, I cut off…
After reading lots of blogs and articles about the benefits of gelatin, I decided to get on the bandwagon. As a longtime sufferer of knee pain, I’d love to homeopathically help my knee rather than relying on pain medication. There are tons of benefits to consuming grass-fed gelatin. You can find out more here. I…
I’m on Whole30 day five!! Yeah! Only 25 more days. Ha not that I am counting down or anything. So yesterday I went a little crazy in the kitchen. I made Primal Palate gut healing gummies, Balanced Bites gummies, Elana’s Pantry apricot energy bars, Multiply Delicious fruity granola bars, all-natural deodorant, a dry face stick…
