Sweet Potato Hash Browns
I love crispy, salty hash browns for breakfast. Restaurant versions are delicious but they are probably not using the best oils and I hardly ever see sweet potato hashbrowns on a menu. Make these at home for a perfect weekend breakfast or brunch. Make extra to eat during the week. Joe and I haven’t had…

Spicy Beef Tacos
What a week! We just got back from a trip to Omaha to see family and friends. We truly had a blast (despite the cold and the snow!) and wish we could’ve spent more time there. It is good to be back in Austin though where the weather is slowly heating back up into the…

Prosciutto, Potato and Spinach Frittata
Frittatas are one of my favorite dishes to make. They are so easy and you can incorporate any meat, veggie or cheese (if you want). They are fairly quick to make, especially if you have the ingredients prepped. And they make for a great breakfast, lunch or dinner! I’ve posted a few frittata recipes here and…

Eastside Cafe – Austin Restaurant Review
Here is the first full restaurant review from Sweet Paleo! Joe and I visited Eastside Cafe on a Friday night. I had made reservations and we got our table right upon arrival. The restaurant is located inside an old house and is very quaint. They have a garden and also raise their own chickens which…

What I Ate Today
I have another day in the life of eating mostly Paleo/Primal for you on a weekday! I’ve been eating smaller meals throughout the day instead of the typical three square meals and just trying to listen to my body. When I’m hungry, I eat, plain and simple. No matter what time of day. I hope this…

Baked Spaghetti and Meat Sauce
Hey all! It’s been quite a while since I posted an actual recipe so I decided to take a break from my “goal” posts and give you something tasty to munch on. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I started incorporating gluten-free grains from time to time into my diet. For this recipe I used…

2014 Goals: #3 Greening Our Home – Cookware
Another area of our home that really needs some greening is our kitchen…specifically our cookware. We (well really I) have been using non-stick cookware for years. As a poor college student just starting to cook on my own, I used the cheapest pans possible. My Mom eventually bought me nice pans (which I loved) but…

2014 Goals: #2 Greening Our Home – Beauty Routine
As I mentioned in my previous post, each New Year, Joe and I like to come up with goals for the year as opposed to resolutions that we know set us up for failure. These goals are not “quick fixes” and usually spread out throughout the entire year, maybe turning into complete lifestyle changes. Our…

2014 Goals: #1 New Diet
Happy 2014!! I hope your new year has gotten off to a great and healthy start. I like to take time at the beginning of the year to reflect on the year before and also look forward to the year to come. I do not believe in making New Year’s resolutions, but I think it’s…

Making the Switch to All-Natural Shampoo
Since starting the Paleo diet, I have been really focused on the quality of the food that I put into my body. Focusing on all-natural, minimally processed, organic ingredients as much as possible. Avoiding GMO ingredients (such as soy and corn) and cooking as much as I can at home. Like I said, I’ve been…
