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
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
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
Settling back in to the regular work week after a 4 day weekend completely sucks can be challenging. Cave Man and I had an amazing few days off, spent with friends and family. Needless to say, it was a much needed break from the normal hustle and bustle. Because I'm not quite ready to face … Continue reading Sweet Potato Stuffed Blueberry Tartlets
Who is ready for a 4 day weekend!? THIS GIRL, that's who. Last week was pretty crazy as we wrapped up the second quarter at work. Myself and a few others in my office ended up being on call all weekend to push through some last minute customer orders before July 1st. That being said, … Continue reading Lemon Glazed Blueberry Cake
In case you haven't heard, Taco Tuesday is practically a holiday. It really doesn't matter where you're at, some taquería or local restaurant is boasting of 'the best tacos in town!' (Taco Bell DOES NOT count - don't even get me started). When it comes down to it, everyone loves tacos, period. You just can't … Continue reading Taco Tuesday – Kickin’ Chili Steak Tacos
Oh weekends, how I love you so. After sitting in an office all week, I like to book up my weekends with time with my Cave Man and Cave Dog, Crossfit, cooking, chores, wine bar dates and as much time out side as humanly possible. That leaves about 0 time for relaxation. I know, rough … Continue reading Lazy Mornings & Strawberry Pancakes
