Beer-Marinated Steak Fajitas
I know I’m pretty behind in my posts. I’m adding a Cinco de Mayo recipe a week late… Joe and I have been pretty busy over the last week or so. He just accepted a job in Austin, TX and we made the decision to leave Omaha and head down at the end of this…

Meal Planning Paleo-Style
One of the most important things to help me stick to the Paleo diet is to meal plan. I take an hour or two out of my week (usually Thursday night) to plan out my meals for the next week. This helps get me excited about cooking, trying new recipes and ensures that I always…

Chicken Salad with Prosciutto, Caramelized Peaches & Zucchini
Is spring finally here yet? It has been so cold in Nebraska…I mean it honestly snowed and we are almost through April. Really?? This weekend we are finally going to get some warmer weather and I am so excited to finally get outside. I’m most looking forward to riding my bike again. Last weekend Joe…

Portabella Chicken, Bacon & Pesto Sammies
The 21-Day Sugar Detox is officially over! Friday was my last day on the detox and I can honestly say I made it the whole 21 days without any slip ups or detours. It was not easy at times, but it definitely became easier as the weeks went on. It was actually weird to go…

Sausage & Veggie Hash with Poached Eggs
Only 4 more days left in the 21 Day Sugar Detox!!! There are sweet potatoes somewhere out there just calling my name I know it! I’m already working on my meal plan for next week. 🙂 As hard as it has been at times, I really have been feeling good and I’m planning on doing…

Spaghetti Squash with Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce
It is officially Day 8 of the 21-Day Sugar Detox! The first few days were a little rough and I felt like I could never quite get satisfied or full with anything I ate. I was also exhausted and had a bit of a headache. But I’ve been feeling a lot better now. I never…

21 Day Sugar Detox and Steak with Raspberry & Blue Cheese Sauce
Sugar detox and a recipe with blue cheese and raspberries don’t really go together, but that’s just too bad. I am currently on Day 1 Level 3 of the 21-Day Sugar Detox. Level 3 is for those who already follow a Paleo/Primal diet. The purpose of this detox is two-fold: 1.) I really feel like…

Asparagus & Ham Frittata
While Joe and I were in Austin, I had two different frittatas (check out the posts here and here) and was determined to make a recipe at home. I’ve always been scared to make one because for some reason taking a pan on the stove and putting it in the oven seemed hard. Really I’m not…

Sausage, Sweet Potato & Kale Hash
I found a really delicious chicken sausage at Trader Joe’s that doesn’t have any added sugar and is fully cooked. Their Smoked Apple Chardonnay chicken sausage inspired me to think of something different to make instead of just grilling them up like we usually do. I knew I wanted to incorporate sweet potatoes (of course!)…

Mostly Paleo Austin Recap Part 2
I promised I would finish my recap of our recent adventure to Austin, so here it is. A little delayed, but still here! One night while we were there I wanted to tried a fancier place. We chose (or should I say that I chose…) to go to the Salty Sow. It was a really…

Mostly Paleo Austin Recap Part 1
Joe and I just got back from Austin, Texas and had a blast! It was filled with lots of good food, great weather, exploring downtown, hiking, paddle boarding, shopping and catching up with a friend. I promised to provide some food highlights from the trip, so let’s just get to it… The first place I…

My Favorite Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes
I am officially obsessed with sweet potatoes (hence the name of the website). 🙂 If I could eat them for every meal, I probably would. Actually, I definitely would. I try to limit them to a few times a week (which is really limiting them for me). My favorite way to eat them is by…
