Natural Energy Boost
There’s a fine line between being a complete energy junky and having a healthy (non-habit forming) relationship with caffeine. Although there are days where #allIwantisaStarbucks, I’d like to think that I fall into the latter category.
Bacon Shepherd’s Pie (gluten-free + paleo)
Shepherd’s pie (also known as cottage pie) layered with sauteed beef, bacon and veggies in a smoked sauce, topped with garlic mashed cauliflower and baked until crisp. I’m not eating many potatoes these days… Not because I don’t love them (because, wow, do I love potatoes) but because when I pop, the fun just don’t…
If Weekends Are Your Kryptonite…
It’s Friday. Well, it isn’t Friday now… but let’s just pretend it is. So, it’s Friday. It’s been a long week. I’m tired, I’m hungry. So I make myself a healthy dinner, then find myself mindlessly snacking on whatever my little heart desires, not fully awake to the choices I’m making.
Boston Cream Donuts (gluten-free + paleo)
Gluten-free and paleo donuts cut like sandwiches filled with dairy-free vanilla custard and topped with melted dark chocolate. Traditionally, Boston Cream Donuts are yeast-risen donuts with custard in the middle. They’re fried, they’re glutenous and packed with sugar. I’ve seen a couple of grain-free and paleo Boston Cream Donuts out there but when I saw…
Why I Stopped Being Vegan
This topic is highly personal and very raw. I ask that you be gentle with my story and the experiences that others share in the comments of this post.

Nacho Cheese Cauliflower Tots (paleo + gluten-free)
Crispy cauliflower tots packed with nacho cheese flavor without the dairy – a healthy alternative to deep-dried potato snacks. One of the most powerful steps I’ve taken to heal my relationship with food was giving myself permission to eat whenever I am hungry. 9am, 3pm or 1am. It doesn’t matter.
No-Fuss Skillet Chocolate Cake (gluten-free + paleo)
Paleo chocolate cake baked in a skillet for a no-fuss approach to dessert. Sweetened with figs and topped with thinly sliced strawberries. Chocolate. You love? I love. And, if you’re sensitive or allergic to it, there’s this awesome stuff called carob – a lightly alkalizing, non-stimulating, naturally sweet and lower fat alternative to chocolate.
The Ultimate Guide to Everything Coconut: Flour, Oil, Butter, Cream, Milk, Water, Shreds, Sugar and Nectar
Everything you ever wanted to know about coconut. From coconut milk, to coconut butter, coconut water, coconut nectar and everything in between. Coconut has saved my ketogenic life numerous times. Green Coconut Curry, Biscuits and Bread, and Coconut Cauliflower Rice. In each of these adventures, I used a different form of coconut. What’s the difference…
Masala Chai Squash Porridge (paleo + vegan)
Paleo porridge made with roasted butternut squash and masala chai milk. Also safe for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan eating styles. I went (primarily) grain-free a couple of months ago in an attempt to reduce bloating and digestive issues. Living grain-free requires creativity.
