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…
Whole30 1 Week Meal Plan, Kitchen Tools & Giveaway!
Hi everyone! Just interested in the meal plan and giveaway? Scroll to the bottom! I am on day 27 of my Whole30 and honestly, I haven’t felt better. As some of you know, I have been eating a generally Whole30/Paleo diet for the better part of 6 years now. My diet has absolutely evolved during…
Five Minute Paleo Greek Salad
As much as I love cooking, I am also a huge fan of 5 minute meals that are both satisfying and delicious. Truth be told, cooking takes time. The key is to incorporate quick, easy meals and dishes with slightly longer prep times into the week in a way that works for you. For me,…
Chia Pudding 3 Ways
This post was originally published on my friend Chelsea’s blog, The Paleo Cavewoman, but I am so obsessed with chia pudding that I couldn’t help sharing it on my blog as well! Chia pudding is one of my all time favorite breakfasts. After following a paleo/primal lifestyle for over half a decade, as much as…
Chipotle Bacon Deviled Eggs

Of course, salty snacks can become pretty dangerous pretty quickly and it’s always hard to find pre-made, packaged snacks that aren’t…
Creamy Dairy Free Kale Bacon and Butternut Squash Soup
Sometimes I love how much weather can influence my mood, activities and food choices. It truly makes me feel so in touch with my surroundings and brings me back down to earth. We were experiencing some pretty cold temps for San Diego and then suddenly, a couple weeks ago everything cleared up and we had…
Dairy Free Avocado Aioli
Happy Taco Tuesday everyone! 😉 I am completely obsessed with this avocado aioli recipe… at first, I created it specifically for my Halibut Fish Tacos (which I’ll be enjoying tonight!) but recently, I’ve been making it go with a variety of dishes from salads, to sandwiches and chili.

Thanksgiving is just about two weeks ago so you will be seeing a lot of Thanksgiving recipes from me over the next few weeks! After starting a paleo diet about 5 years ago, I have always had such a blast creating paleo-friendly Thanksgiving recipes for myself and family to enjoy. Thankfully, a lot of Thanksgiving…
All American Paleo Table Review + Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
One of my favorite things about having a food blog is that it forces me to create new dishes and innovate with new ingredients every day. While following recipes was instrumental for me when I was learning how to cook, I rarely follow recipes nowadays and mostly use existing recipes as inspiration. Having said that,…
