It's officially the last holiday weekend of the summer. I'm not ready to let go of summer quite yet. I can't wait to spend the weekend soaking up the sun at the beach and the pool. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!Read more »

Paleo Hawaiian Pizza

Yesterday, my friend came over to help me style my food and take pictures. I attempted to make pancakes, burgers, a side and a layered dessert. I think I overexerted myself just a wee bit! Thankfully most of the food turned out great, except for some overly spicy burgers.

Paleo Rainer Cherry and Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

One of my favorite former treats was ice cream. I used to justify eating a whole pint because it was “low fat.” I would eat a pint for dinner without a second thought. It was bad. After making my blackberry rosewater ice cream, I couldn’t wait to make another variety!

Paleo Fried Rice and AAG Orange Chicken

I love finding new recipes and trying them out. I recently bought Danielle’s Against All Grain cookbook (here) and was instantly in love. There is page after page of delicious recipes that I can’t wait to make!

Paleo Salmon Cakes

This weekend I spent time at a Big 12 alumni mixer. I love hanging out with other Midwesterners! A little friendly rivalry makes for fun conversation! I didn’t realize how many Texas alums live in LA, but KU made a great appearance!

Paleo Pink Peppercorn Grapefruit Salmon

Pink on pink on pink. I love this recipe because it is a little playful. The main three ingredients are all pink, which isn’t all that common in food. Ok so salmon might be a little more orange than pink but still.

Paleo Cucumber Refresher and Cantaloupe Margarita

Last weekend my friends and I had a little Mexican Fiesta pool party. We grilled burgers and sipped on some “paleo” drinks. Now I know you are thinking. Alcohol isn’t paleo. Yes. Yes. You are probably right, but for some reason paleo people have embraced tequila and the paleo margarita.

Paleo Tom Kha Gai Soup

I love Thai takeout. It is my favorite takeout of all the takeouts! Maybe it has something to do with the fact there is an amazing Thai restaurant walking distance from my apartment. I am happy to say I haven’t caved and gone there in a long time though.

Mini Paleo Key Lime Tarts

I have mentioned I am a recovering sugar addict, and I am not kidding. I crave sweets pretty much 24/7. As I have slowly added treats back into my diet, I was excited to try inventive recipes. Growing up my mom made a fantastic key lime pie.

Paleo Mexican Fiesta Burgers

This weekend was filled with soaking up the last bit of summer rays before everyone buckles down and starts focusing back on work. I love summer, and I am not ready for it to end. Some friends and I threw a Mexican Fiesta pool party and got our grill on.

Paleo Dark Chocolate Salted Almond Bites

So this week I had an intense chocolate craving and needed a fix asap. Normally I have an apple on hand to help with my sugar addiction. Unfortunately I had just ran out. There is a bakery a block from my apartment, and it was very tempting to go pick up a delicious brownie.

Paleo Curry Lime Chicken

So I once again had leftover chicken except this time it wasn’t already cooked. I decided to try out a new recipe. I have come to love butterflying chicken breasts because the chicken cooks 5 times faster than a whole breast!

Paleo Lobster and Crab Seafood Boil

Just thinking about this dinner makes my mouth water! I made this while I was home with the help of my brother-in-law. Ok he really did most of it as I observed. I had to share though because it was amazing!

Paleo Fajita Chicken with Avocado Slaw

I can’t believe the weekend is once again over. I have a confession. I have been seriously slacking on my commitment to yoga. I am making a pledge to give it my all for the next month. In other fitness news, I am considering adding Crossfit to my workout regime.

Paleo Roasted Tomatillo-Pineapple Salsa

While cooking Asian dishes is my favorite, Mexican is a close second in my book. I make more guacamole than is probably necessary/healthy. I’m lucky living in Southern California that avocados are almost always in season.

Paleo BBQ Chicken Pizza: Leftovers Round Two

Another round of leftovers! I greatly underestimated how much chicken is in a whole chicken. For one person, it is literally enough chicken to feed me for a week or two.

Paleo Sweet BBQ Chicken and Coleslaw

So after roasting a whole chicken, I needed to spruce up my leftovers a bit. I have been wanting to try a more traditional Paleo BBQ sauce for awhile. I scoured the internet and found this little gem.

Roasting a Whole Chicken: Paleo-Style

The idea of roasting a whole chicken felt very daunting to me. I roasted a whole turkey once before for Friends-giving, which was a somewhat comical experience. Needless to say after spilling almost all the turkey drippings on the floor and then breaking an entire bottle of wine, I steered clear of any big production meals by myself.

Paleo Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream

I miss the ice cream maker. While I don’t need gallons upon gallons of Paleo ice cream for myself, I loved coming up with and trying new flavor combinations! This combo was inspired by my sister’s love of the flavor rosewater, and the fact blackberries are currently in season.

Paleo Grilled Peach Burgers with Balsamic Syrup

Yes more beef! I might be overdoing my re-introduction to eating red meat, but I forgot how good it tastes!

Paleo Fried Okra

August I don’t even know where you came from! While I have been out of school for a couple years, August still feels synonymous with “going back to school.” Thankfully summer is still in full force in California.
