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!

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.

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 shopping.

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.Read more »

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.

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.

Paleo 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 to break my hot sauce addiction yet.

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.

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 so upset.

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 solution, but I usually keep it to one cup a day.

Paleo Italian Meatball Hoagies: Leftover Edition

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 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.
