Paleo Spicy n' Sweet Blood Orange Wings

Superbowl countdown is on. I’d love the attend the game some day, but preferably when it is in a warm location like Miami. I love NYC, but I’m not sure how I feel about sitting outside for 3+ hours to watch a football game. During college, I could barely handle November games in Kansas.

Paleo Gingerbread Chia Pudding

After going without cable for more than a year, TV is back in my life. I have no clue what days the shows I actually watch are even on, so most of the time I end up watching them on-demand. There is one channel that constantly airs “quality” television. The Food Network.

Paleo Spicy Mustard Crockpot Chicken

I have been giving my crockpot some serious loving these last few weeks. Everything goes into one pot and out comes dinner! When you live alone, cooking an extravagant meal for one isn’t very appealing. Most of the time the clean up takes just as long as the actual cooking.

No Bake Paleo Pumpkin Cookies

Yeah more pumpkin! This weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my friend in Orange County. I haven’t been to a pumpkin patch in years, and it was so much fun! Pumpkins as far as the eye can see! After an hour of walking around, we both settled on a couple of pumpkins.

Paleo Triple Citrus Ceviche

So my last post was basically an ode to fall. Let’s do a little 180. I go about 50/50 on if I like shrimp. It is so weird. Sometimes I love it. Other times I can’t stand the texture.

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness. While I am sad summer is technically over, fall brings the best food of any season. One of my all time favorite holidays is Thanksgiving. Yes thanksgiving is still a ways off, but it doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating early.

Paleo Authentic Creamed Spinach

When I was younger, you couldn’t pay me to eat spinach. I didn’t like the taste at all. Cooked spinach was the absolute worst, but somewhere along the line something changed. Spinach isn’t the only vegetable I now love that used to hate.
