Let's talk about Thanksgiving. I'm ready to enjoy a day spent with loved ones, and get down on some turkey. Maybe get a Turkey Day WOD in, pre-festivities. I don't host for the big day, but I always try to bring a dish or two to contribute and further spread the paleo love. This year, I wanted … Continue reading Pecan Crusted Pumpkin Brownie Bars
It's been a week of recovery and I'm finally starting to feel like my normal self again! And although I loved making warm, comforting soups, I am SO excited to be reintroducing solid food again. Humans are meant to chomp on their meals, not drink them. Tomorrow, I also end my almost two-week hiatus from … Continue reading Happiness Is…11.17.13, Thanksgiving & New Recipe
I've been in bed for the past 34 hours and let me tell you it's been [mostly] glorious. Before we get all judge-y, I had minor gum tissue graft surgery yesterday because my genetics are all screwed up (thanks Mom and Dad!), which has landed me in this position of acceptable laziness. I won't get into … Continue reading Curried Sweet Potato-Apple Soup

Come up with 5 things in the last day or week that have brought you joy. It can be anything, big or small, that made you feel truly … Continue reading Happiness Is…10.26.13
Fall is here! Fall is nature's way of easing us into winter weather. I love everything about fall in California - the crisp morning air and sunny afternoons, the warm colors and cozy feelings, and especially the fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. If you're enjoying the fall flavors as much as I am, you've … Continue reading Grain-Free Pumpkin ‘Granola’ Crunch with Banana Crème
Hi there! Remember me? Has it really been almost a month since my last post? I can hardly believe it myself. So what have I been up to lately? I wish I could tell you I've been kicking back on a tropical beach, hiking in the mountains, or teaching children how to read in a … Continue reading Savory Sweet Potato Frittata
Happy Monday folks! This will be a short post, but I'm a woman of my word! As promised, here is the recipe for the fun and fruity fish dish (say that 5 times fast) posted on my Instagram a week or so back. This was made originally as a primal dish, as it includes ghee … Continue reading Primal Style Wild Tilapia & Mango Chili Salsa
This isn't a real recipe post. I mean, it is...but it isn't. I didn't spend hours thinking of the ingredients and flavor combinations. This recipe idea didn't smack me in the face while I was drifting off to sleep, and there's probably a million blogs in Paleo blog land that have featured the same dish. … Continue reading Sweet Chocolate Puddin’
There are a lot of things I'm good at when it comes to food. Eating, for example, I'm probably best at that part. As far as cooking goes, stove top dinners and breakfast foods are among my favorite things to make. And most importantly, baking! You're probably already aware my sweet tooth wins all, so … Continue reading Chocolate Dipped Hazelnut Cookie Crisps
The inspiration behind this post is pretty comical. About a week or so back, I was hanging out at home with one of my roommates, John. We were starving, so I offered to make a quick dinner for the both of us. It had been a beautiful day and I was in the mood for … Continue reading Simple Pulled Pork & Tomato-Citrus Slaw
