Paleo Mexican Chilaquiles
So I have a strained eye. Want to know how I got it? Evidently staring at your computer screen for four hours straight in bad lighting isn’t so good for your eyes. I really hope the Phillip Lim bag from Target is worth it! I got my official notification that it shipped today! Woo! I…
Paleo Apple Pie Cheesecake Tartlets
This past weekend, I had a crazy movie binge. I went to my local Redbox and seriously stocked up. I watched Now You See Me, 42, Mud and rewatched Thor. I love Chris Hemsworth. Those eyes. Do you ever have weekends where you feel like doing nothing? I get that way sometimes, and all I…
Paleo Roasted Artichokes on Zucchini Noodles with Lemon Garlic Sauce
Keeping on the straight and narrow isn’t always so easy. I went hard core Paleo for the first seven months then something happened and little cheats started creeping back into my diet. Soon I had fallen completely off the wagon. I was upset with myself that I’d let my “little cheats” get so out of…
Paleo Bacon Walnut Brussels Sprouts
I spent the weekend relaxing. By relaxing, I mean staying up until 1:30AM Saturday night to shop Phillip Lim for Target. With bleary eyes from staring at my computer screen for almost four hours in nervous anticipation, I snatched up the bag I’d been eyeing! Totally worth it! Next to cooking, I love fashion and…
Paleo Tailgate Foods Roundup
If you didn’t know already, it’s football season! I love football! Not all football. Specifically college football! Since my college was a basketball school, tailgating over football was more of the scene during the fall. We were lucky if we made it to the stadium. Opps. I did grow up in Oklahoma though. Home of…
Paleo Spicy Orange Shrimp
Since eating spoonfuls of hot sauce is frowned upon and kind of gross, I knew I wanted to make a recipe for my homemade chili garlic sauce. Ok well maybe I wanted to make the recipe first then made the chili garlic sauce. This is a chicken or the egg dilemma. Either way I’m happy…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Two desserts in three days! Well my sweet tooth has struck again, and I am struggling to put it back in its box. I completely forgot to mention I went to Danielle from Against All Grain’s cooking demo and book signing this past weekend. Her journey is so amazing and inspirational, and she could not…
Chili Garlic Sauce
I love condiments. Ok that is not completely true. Let me revise. I love hot sauce! All hot sauces: tapatio, tobasco, cholula, sriracha, franks and of course chili garlic sauce. I have all of these in my pantry at all times. I realize many of these aren’t technically 100% paleo, but I am not ready…
Paleo Watermelon Granita
Summer is not over yet! It isn’t officially fall until September 22. While fall is probably my favorite season, I am savoring the last of summer and trying to stretch it as far as it will go. Fall recipes are popping up everywhere, but I’m still in the summer mindset. It also helps that LA…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Granola
Even though this was technically a “short” week, it dragged by. I went downtown to get lunch with my friend. After I attempted to see some of my favorite locations from the movie 500 Days of Summer, only to find out the infamous park bench was closed! How does a park that small close?! I’m…
Paleo Mocha Chip Pancakes with Espresso Syrup
I go in waves of being a morning person. Sometimes I will pop out of bed at 7-7:30 bright eyed and ready for the day. Then there are days when I can barely crawl out of bed by 9AM. To get by I rely on coffee. I’m a coffee addict. Maybe coffee isn’t the best…
Paleo Italian Meatball Hoagies: Leftover Edition
I recently celebrated living in LA for three years. I can’t believe it has been three years. When I drove cross country three years ago, LA was full of new dreams and endless opportunities. A lot has changed in three years. Slowly I’ve fallen out of love with LA. I’m ready for a change. I’m…
