Leftover Turkey, Sweet Potato and Bacon Hash
I can’t believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone and we are only less than three weeks away from Christmas. It is going to fly by! We had an awesome Thanksgiving. I was pretty impressed with my own planning abilities and created a stress-free Thanksgiving day by cooking most of my dishes ahead of time.…

What I Ate Today
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you truly have a blessed day with family and friends and are able to enjoy some delicious food (Paleo or not!). I can honestly say that everything I’m making will be 100% Paleo/Primal. Very excited about that. 🙂 I have a quick “What I Ate Today” post for you. I hope…

Curried Pork, Squash and Kale Frittata
I am finally starting to feel better and can eat pretty much all my Paleo favs again…including avocados. Yeah! Joe and I have been super busy the last couple of weeks from hosting friends, busy work schedules, friends/family in town, kickball and neighborhood parties. We went to a “Friendsgiving” neighborhood party this week that was so…

Sweet Potato and Apple Mash
This week feels like it is truly dragging. It’s only Wednesday as I write this and the weekend feels like a million miles away. I just started taking a new prescription a few weeks ago (long story I may share at some point) and it has been making me feel awful. I’ve had off and…

Mango Coconut Ice Cream
Ice cream is pretty much a staple in our house. We don’t eat it every day but it’s nice to have it waiting in the freezer for when those cravings strike. I started making ice cream at home before eating Paleo and used a base of heavy cream, milk and sugar. Now I’ve found an…

Harvest Chicken and Vegetable Salad
It’s FINALLY starting to feel like Fall in Austin. Even though Halloween is here and gone, I just haven’t felt like it’s truly Fall yet with temperatures still in the 80’s. Luckily, we did visit Kansas City a few weeks ago with my family and enjoyed some cooler temperatures. When it’s 60 degrees in December…

Pumpkin Spice Latte
I am absolutely in love with Fall…along with pretty much everyone else. I get very nostalgic around this time and start missing home. Autumn-inspired foods always bring me comfort. If only it were a little bit cooler, I’d start making my beef and butternut squash stew! But here in Austin some days it still feels like summer.…

Spaghetti Squash Crust Pizza
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. We are finally moved into our new house!! Beyond excited. I feel like we have been looking forward to this moment for so long and now it’s actually here. So blessed. Needless to say I’ve been pretty busy between work, unpacking and making 200 trips to Target.…

Hickory BBQ Bacon Chicken Burger
This is a big week for Joe and I…we move into our new house in Austin! This moment has been a long time coming. We have not had a place to call our own for over a year when we initially moved to Omaha. I’m not complaining because it was all our own doing and…

Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Tenders with Mango Glaze
My wonderful husband came up with this recipe and made it for my birthday a few weeks back. Instead of going out to dinner, I had asked him to cook me something homemade, delicious and Paleo! This is what he came up with. He also cooked up Nom Nom Paleo’s Swiss Chard with Golden Raisins and Pine Nuts…

What I Ate Today
It’s been quite a while since I last wrote. Life has definitely been on the crazy side. We are in the process of buying a house (hoping to close in three weeks!). And just moved from our temporary furnished rental into our friend’s house for the next couple weeks (thank you guys!). And I also…

Dad’s Famous Brisket
This brisket is seriously amazing. I used my Dad’s famous brisket recipe that uses store-bought ketchup, BBQ sauce and Worcestershire sauce and altered it to use homemade versions of those ingredients. I searched for Paleo-friendly recipes and have included the links below. You could use any homemade version you like or any Paleo-friendly store-bought version. The…
