Good and Good For You
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Citrus is undoubtedly one of my favorite tastes. Give me some lime or lemon zest, and I’m on board. I even tend to make a little Ziploc baggie of lime/lemon slices and carry it with me to work to flavor my water. This was my first time making ceviche, and I was a little skeptical [...]
No, your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, you actually just read something that says “paleo onion rings.” I experimentally whipped these up last week with low expectations, and we wound up being blown away. These are great for entertaining (albeit a little messy), and also one of those great dishes for your family/friends/neighbors/kids that [...]
As I mentioned earlier this week, I whipped up a batch of these garlic cauliflower “mashed potatoes” to go with our spicy sausage and shrimp jambalaya. The recipe is courtesy of Nom Nom Paleo, and is an easy side dish to throw together. The best part about it is that it keeps very well (7-10 [...]
One of the greatest things about the summer season is obviously the food. The weather, holidays and late sunsets are the perfect excuse to barbeque, have potlucks and eat barrels of watermelon, hamburgers, guacamole…and one of my personal summer get-together must-haves, chicken salad. When Everyday Paleo posted this “Not Potato” salad the other day, I couldn’t wait to [...]
One of the little things people tend to overlook when first switching to paleo is their condiments. Paleo beginners will be diligent about meals and snacks, but still use their same mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce etc not realizing these condiments generally will be packed with sugars and yucky additives. Making your own condiments can be [...]
