I’ve been in an egg rut. When I got back from Europe, all I wanted was eggs on eggs on eggs with sides of bacon. Now I am on egg burn out. Usually when I get tired of eggs I turn to paleo pancakes, but I have been craving an acai bowl since my trip…

Southwestern Shredded Pork
After abstaining from pork for 6 years, my first time eating pork besides bacon was this Christmas Eve when I made Nom Nom Paleo’s Kalua Shredded Pork. I was so surprised how much I enjoyed the meat and couldn’t even tell it was pork. Since then I have still been a little pork shy. I’ve…
Mint Chocolate Chip Popsicles
My first year in college I had a meal plan like the rest of the freshman to our campus cafeteria. I was blessed with living near the nice cafeteria of the three. The first semester I loved the food and couldn’t get enough of the soft serve ice cream. By second semester, I wouldn’t step…
Italian Chicken
This weekend was exhausting. Three of my five nieces and nephew celebrated their birthdays this weekend! That is a lot of parties crammed into three days. To make it even more fun, I helped decorate all of their cakes. At some point in the not so distant past, my family discovered I have a strange…
Europe Recap: Part 4
Today is my final Europe recap. I saved Santorini for last not just because it was my final destination but it was also my favorite. During my tour, we stayed in Santorini for 2 1/2 days unfortunately those days were met with cloud cover, rain and high winds. Even the locals were freaking out about…
Creamy Cucumber Salad
I leave for New York and Maine in a week! I’m so excited about this trip. First I get to see my best friend who I only see maybe once a year. Second I am taking my first trip to Maine. I’ve never traveled to New England and can’t wait to check out the food…
Balsamic Ginger Steak Salad
So Meaty Monday snuck up on my this week! This weekend I planned to cook a lot but got caught up with my nieces and nephew’s birthdays. Sometimes life is more important than cooking. I have 4 nieces and a nephew and three of their birthdays are in July. It makes for a busy July…
Europe Recap: Part Three
It’s part three of my European Recap! So far I’ve covered London, Paris, Lucerne, Munich, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Pompeii. Now I take you to the highlight of my trip- Greece! I’ve been dreaming of Greece ever since the words Santorini drifted through the air one summer in college. I’m not sure how the…
Peach and Cherry Frittata
I’m back from Florida and a little sad. Even though I only left the beaches of Greece less than a month ago, I realized I’ve missed the ocean. Living in a landlocked state during the summer makes me crave Los Angeles and the beach. I spent a large portion of last summer hanging out at…
Fire Roasted Pepper Burgers
I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July! I’m sad to leave Florida today. I’ve been enjoying the ocean breeze, salt water and sand. I truly miss living by the beach. When I was little I dreamed about living near the beach, but never actually thought it would happen. Now that I’m back in…
Paleo 4th of July Menu
Happy July 4th! I’m celebrating in the Florida keys. I hope everyone has a safe but very fun holiday! I love the Fourth because I am a huge fan of fireworks. I made a 4th of July menu complete with entree, side dishes and of course dessert! So fire up those grills and get cooking….
Cherry Berry Cobbler
For me the Fourth of July isn’t the same without cobbler. Summer is the season of berries, which is the best time of year in my opinion. I love berries especially cherries and blueberries! I bought a huge bag of cherries on sale and knew I wanted to make a cobbler. I called up…
