New here? Sign up for my newsletter and receive my free ebook “25 Quick and Easy Paleo Meals!. Thanks for visiting! This pesto. Wow. I’ve made a bunch of pestos over the years, but there was something about this one that just wow-d me. Also I might be a little biased because all the basil…
So you might have guessed from the title that this isn’t a food post. If you look up at my navigation bar, you might notice a little unused tab labeled “book club.” When I first started my blog, I intended to share books monthly, but somehow this idea fell to the wayside in favor of…
Happy 2014! So I definitely wrote 2013 and had to backspace. Whoops. Oh 2014 I have so much planned for you. I’m big into New Years’ Resolutions. I’m not the best at completing them, but I have always been a goal-oriented person. Last year I set a goal to read 5 books. After finishing 8…
My little blog passed it’s six-month anniversary a couple weeks ago. The time has gone by so quickly. I truly love sharing my cooking creations. This year has brought a lot of ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Being able to share my paleo-journey not only keeps me accountable…
Now that Christmas is done and over. Sad. The countdown to 2014 is on. I used to love New Year’s Eve, but now it is less about the sparkly dress and more about just staying in and bringing in the new year with family. My family normally celebrates the New Year singing some awesome Wii…
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Mine was full of family, food and festivities. Okay I just threw in that last one to keep with the trend. It really should be family, food and naps. I don’t know why but whenever my family gets together 2PM becomes nap time. I’m not even a…
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! I’m spending the day with my family and gaggle of nieces and nephew. x vanessa
Yeah I’m so excited it is Christmas Eve! Christmas Eve is the main event at my house. We open all our presents on Christmas Eve except the things Santa brought us in our stockings. I have four very young nieces and nephews who are firm believers in Santa. I particularly liked last year when my…
It’s Christmas Eve’s Eve. Yup I said it. In my family, Christmas Eve is almost as important as Christmas Day. We open all our presents on Christmas Eve, and it is awesome! For years I made my friends jealous by being able to open my Christmas presents a whole 12 hours before them. My family…
When I first started eating paleo, I ate a ton of sweet potatoes. Before this I never ate sweet potatoes other than Thanksgiving. I am not sure why, but I always associated them as being sickly sweet. This probably stems from marshmallow covered sweet potato casserole. Now I cook sweet potatoes any variety of ways:…
I’m slightly convinced Amazon doesn’t want my family to receive their Christmas gifts. Maybe it is my punishment for ordering 75% of their presents online. I am not really sure. It is really a double punishment because my Nom Nom Paleo cookbook is also in the same package of goods! I’ve been checking my door…
The first time I ate chicken marsala was after losing a bet to a friend. If I won the bet, he had to make me dinner but if I lost I had to make dinner. Needless to say I lost. I made a really, really bad bet. I’m almost too embarrassed to say but you…
I love brussels sprouts. Seriously I could eat them every day. Sometimes I find this funny because until about two years ago I loathed brussels sprouts. You couldn’t pay me enough money to eat brussels sprouts. A couple years ago, everything changed. I didn’t realize I’d been eating them wrong. Steamed brussels sprouts are still…
