I’ve been putting off writing this post for a while now, continuing to trick myself into believing that I could work 50 hours a week, coach 10 hours a week, keep up my amazing website, train at CFSB every day, cook Paleo meals every night, be a great girlfriend, sister and friend AND remain a sane [...]
Indian Spiced Stew
As fate would have it, I made this recipe on the night last week where the winds were blowing so bad it felt like we were all about to go up Wizard of Oz style. Those nights are the perfect nights to walk into your house and smell a stew that’s been slow cooking all [...]
Snack Attack – Spiced Nuts
One of my personal paleo pitfalls is snacking. I’ll do great, eating healthy, fresh food for my meals…and then get lured by the chips, dips, candy, etc at work…or the Coffee Bean downstairs that is begging me to eat a rice krispie treat…and BOOM it’s over. Creating your own paleo snacks ahead of time for [...]
Sweet Potato, Apple and Sausage Breakfast Patties
Now would be the appropriate time for me to introduce you guys to my new online best friend/hero/slight love affair, Juli Bauer. Juli writes PaleOMG which has long been one of my favorite paleo blogs to read. She’s got an awesome arsenal of recipes that I copy often, and not to mention she’s f-ing hysterical. [...]
Bacon Laced Brussel Sprouts
I’m all about giving credit where credit is due. And right now credit is definitely due to one of my best friends and her fiance. She came up with this bacon brussel sprout goodness and was nice enough to spread the wealth and share it with me. When she was explaining it to me at [...]
Chorizo Mini Meatloaves with Chipotle Tomato Relish
Excuse the language but: I’m back bitches. I know I’ve totally neglected this (along with all of my other hobbies) while I’ve been getting adjusted to the first six weeks of my crazy new job. But now that I feel like I’ve gotten everything under control (and spent most of post-Thanksgiving getting all of this [...]
“Kitchen Sink” Chicken Salad
We’ve all been in that moment: you open your fridge, looking for something to eat. There isn’t anything made, but you do have 1/2 of a red onion, two stalks of asparagus, one leaf of kale, and a leftover chicken breast all about to go bad in like 10 minutes unless you eat them immediately. [...]
Pumpkin Coffee Muffins
Ohhh fall. To be honest, I was never a big fan of fall until I became an adult. I hated when school started, I didn’t like when it got cold, and Halloween/Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday combo. However, I’ve grown up to appreciate lots of great things about fall: football season, comfy knit sweaters [...]
Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta with Steak
Paleo madelinettes, I have really missed the sense of peace and happiness that I feel when I sit down to share a recipe with all of you. I genuinely apologize for the brief hiatus I have taken – I had a job switch, a great vacation (although not too paleo), a torn meniscus and a [...]
