Gut health is something I’ve struggled with since birth. Adopting a paleo diet remedied the majority of issues I’d struggled with throughout my life which you can read more about here, but after coming off birth control 6 or so years ago, my gut health once again took a turn for the worst, helping to…
Paleo Dairy Free Protein Frappe
Bonjour from France! Since the streets of Paris are calling my name, I won’t take too much time providing an explanation for this recipe. However, this smoothie has become one of my absolute favorite afternoon treats. Coffee is not something I have every morning anymore. Instead, I use Dandy Blend which is a lot better…
What I Loved in August
This past month has been absolutely crazy. In addition to it being my birthday month, much of my time was spent cramming a ton of work into a few short weeks in order to prepare to be away from home for close to a full month. My husband and I just returned from Maui this…
Gluten and Dairy Free in Encinitas: Good On Ya Cafe
Eating out while trying to avoid gluten and dairy can be quite the challenge. Not only is it difficult to find options in general, but you’re often met with servers (or even chefs) who don’t know what’s in the dish, people who think eggs are a dairy product and the frequent judgey looks you get…

My Health Journey, Part 2
If you didn’t read Part 1 of this post, I suggest you go back and do that first. Summer of 2010. That was the summer I went off birth control and it is where Part 2 of this story will begin. That summer, I’d been on a hormonal birth control pill for about 5-6 years. The birth control…
Cherry Stuffed Chicken Breasts Wrapped in Prosciutto
Happy Friday everyone! A few posts back I wrote about my lovely little town of Encinitas, CA and shared the recipe for my Dairy-Free Cherry Garcia Ice Cream made with local cherries form the farmer’s market! These Cherry Stuffed Chicken Breasts Wrapped in Prosciutto use the Rainier Cherries I bought as opposed to the Red…
