I realize Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I still have two Paleo Thanksgiving recipes left to share with you! I calculated the days wrong, so to make it up to you, I'm posting two recipes today! TWO in one day! That's never happened before in the history of Amazing Paleo. A simple way of me showing love to you guys ;) So here it is. A nice and healthy version of the so-loved deviled eggs. These are irresistibly good. I ate one and couldn't stop at just one. I ended up having five! You'll see Read more [...]

A Paleo Hummas Appetizer Recipe! Appetizers. What is it about them that attract us so much? Is it the fact that we get to share them with people? Is it that they are fun to eat, which is why sometimes they are referred as “finger food”?  Is it that it is an “easier” dish to put together? Or is it simply because people relate them to parties, get-togethers or dining out? Whatever the reason may be people of all ages love these finger-licking-good dishes. I know I do! And lots! There Read more [...]

This is a Paleo sweet potato chips recipe for everyone!  Some of you don’t live in the US and don’t have access to a bunch of fun ingredients I usually use for my recipes. An example of such ingredients: sweet potato chips. I have received requests to please post a recipe for Sweet Potato Chips, because if you can’t buy them, then might as well make them yourself! And to be honest, making them may actually end up being cheaper too ;). You just have to make sure they don’t burn, so you’ll Read more [...]

Kids often get asked “what’s your favorite color?” or “what’s your favorite food?” Well, as a child when I was asked what my favorite food was, I responded with an innocent voice: “artichokes”. No joke. It was hands down my favorite thing to eat; in my mind it was ten times better than pizza, hamburgers, ice-cream…it beat them all! I was a great eater. Any mother wished they had me as their own child when it came to eating well. I would like all meals and lick the plate clean Read more [...]

At my household we eat guacamole like it’s going out of style, having it two to three times a week. This is a lot of guacamole, considering our portion consists of a full Molcajete (shared between two people). Usually my husband ends up eating a little more than me, so that‘s a good thing I guess ;). This is what our Guacamole-time looks like: Once the Guacamole is prepared, we sit at our favorite spot in the house, grabbing a bunch of napkins (things get messy) and bringing two plates Read more [...]

  The Yuca Root (a potato-like food) first originated in Brazil and Paraguay. Today, it can be found in various tropical regions such as ones in South America, Asia, Australia and Africa. Yuca is low in fats and protein. It’s a great source of Vitamin K, which helps the body with bone mass building. It is also a good source of important minerals like zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese. I love this root. A lot. It is so filling and it tastes like a potato, only way better. Want Read more [...]

There is this one salsa at our city’s Co-Op that is amazing! It comes in three varieties: mild, medium and hot. I like hot. My husband likes medium. It is made locally, which I love; got to support my local folks! When you read its label, you get a list of all its ingredients, ingredients you can actually pronounce...ingredients you can buy at the store and have in your own kitchen. I love products like that, because they make me feel safe by knowing I’m not consuming any preservatives or Read more [...]

I just started the Live Fit Trainer. This is the fourth trainer I do in a row! In a row! No down time…diet, after diet…gym day after gym day. That’s tough. I must be one strong and determined woman. I mean, OF COURSE I’ve had my cheat meals, times where I’ve cried when weight lifting gets painful (seriously, that’s happened before…at the gym), and times when I get exhausted after a HIIT cardio session has been combined with a long work day. Nonetheless, I have still have managed Read more [...]

There is nothing like our senses to bring back crystal clear memories. And for some reason, smell, sound, and taste seem to do the trick quite effectively!  These three seem to trigger some sort of chemical (or so I think) reaction in our brains that brings back perfectly clear memories in a matter of seconds…just as if they had happened an instant ago. I love that! I love my senses. God forbid anyone EVER lose them. It’s crazy the many things we have to be thankful for…starting with Read more [...]

One of the most challenging and rewarding activities I have done this year has been the Bodybuidling.com Employee Transformation Challenge. My husband works at BBcom and he entered the challenge. I love to be a part of all things my hubby does, so of course I had to jump on the same boat and do the transformation along with him. I sort of knew it would be a big commitment, but I never expected it to rule over my life for three months. My days looked something like this: -       Wake Read more [...]
