  • Mango Coconut Ice Cream

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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…

  • Sweet Potato & Pork Hash

    Sweet Potato & Pork Hash

    The 21 Day Sugar Detox is officially over! I feel like I’ve been cheating all week as I’ve been incorporating those “no” foods back into my diet. I probably indulged a little too much last week (ice cream, fries, dark chocolate, fruit, wine, beer, sweet potatoes). Those things are definitely not bad in moderation but…

  • Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash

    Cinnamon Roasted Butternut Squash

    Only four more days left to go on the 21 Day Sugar Detox!!!! I think that sentence deserves about 100 exclamation points. I feel like the last few weeks have gone pretty fast but I am still ready to be done. I’m already planning what I want to eat on day 22…sweet potatoes, dark chocolate,…

  • Sweet BBQ Chicken & Mango Salad

    Sweet BBQ Chicken & Mango Salad

    These last few weeks have been absolutely crazy. Work has been super busy from finishing up projects to training someone to take over my role. Looking for houses has been exhausting. We put in an offer and had it accepted by a home we really love, however there are potentially some serious foundation issues, which…
