My mother has a recipe for a killer non-Paleo carrot cake. She'll bake it for most social gatherings she goes to, taking it as a gift (she is so sweet and generous - love you, mom). That carrot cake is her signature dessert. Everyone always raves about it.  People will have second servings every time, because it is oh-so-good. I haven’t had it in years, but oh boy do I wish she could make some for me right now. Well, my mother in-law has a signature recipe herself. Hers is a savory recipe, Read more [...]

I am so excited! Let me tell you why... This last week, we finally started back up with the remodel of our new apartment in downtown Boise. The place had previously been destroyed by one of the contractors we had hired (him and his team had no clue of what they were doing...at all), and since then, we've had to work various roadblocks to get the apartment back up and ready to be remodeled by the right people. Now, we have a fantastic team of contractors working for us and just in one week, the've Read more [...]

Thanks to all of you who voted on my Facebook page for this Seasoned Turkey Meatball recipe to be the winning featured-recipe of the week. It is super fun for me to know what foods you’d prefer to see posted. I think I may just start doing the voting thing more often. For those of you who didn’t vote (and/or to those of you who are not yet following me on Facebook), what are you waiting for? Let’s keep in touch…I adore Facebook, especially when I get notifications telling me some of you Read more [...]

I’ve been really into poultry lately, eating tons of chicken and turkey. I like to prepare my chicken in a very simple way, grilled or broiled…this works great for me, since I can then add grilled chicken to salads, mix and match it with various side dishes, and sometimes, just eat it by itself as a snack. However, I like my turkey a bit more...“complex”. Last post showcased my favorite ground turkey recipe for lettuce wraps, which is still a mix-and-match sort of recipe (simple enough Read more [...]

Hello my wonderful Amazing Paleo people! I am so sorry I’ve been MIA these last few days. I have missed blogging SO much. Life is crazy right now for my little family (me & hubby). We’ve rented our house and moved in with our in-laws, for about a month, until our new apartment is ready (we are remodeling it and making it look super cool). Let me just tell you, this remodeling has gone wild and it’s taking way longer than expected. Hopefully we’ll be all moved in our new place soon. Read more [...]

This weekend was a great one. I had four days to recover, lay low and spend time with family. Thanksgiving day started nice and quiet. My husband and I took our sweet time to prepare our breakfast/mid-morning smoothies (since we were fasting), we bundled up, and drove downtown to take a nice little stroll right in the heart of the city. Downtown was way deserted (everyone must've been with their families), which hardy ever happens...we were able to find parking space so easy! The day was Read more [...]

Savory Waffles with Poached Eggs and Hollandaise Sauce. YUM! This is breakfast perfection. You will not regret making these...trust me. My husband and I devoured the 4 waffles the recipe yields. We are huge breakfast fans and this little creation blew our minds. It was paleo-licious. I will continue to post holiday recipes, as I promised on my last post, Paleo Chocolate n' Espresso Truffles, but I just thought a middle-of-the-week breakfast post wouldn't hurt anyone ;). So don't you worry, Read more [...]

Paleo Curry Meatballs! YUM! These are seriously incredible. You guys know how much I love protein and how often I eat it (every 2-3 hours, every day!), so this recipe will most definitely be added to my “weekly protein-must-haves”! Don’t be afraid to use all the curry powder this recipe calls for, I know it is a lot, but you wont regret it. Be brave! Sorry I have not been posting as frequently as I used to. I got a new job two weeks ago and things have been way busier than expected. It’s Read more [...]

Apple Mustard Beef Paleo Burgers!  One of my favorites! Yesterday was a special day for Amazing Paleo. Why, you may ask? Well, it had its very first guest writer! It was such an honor to have the beautiful Jillian Beck share her story and her Paleo recipes with all of us. What a treat (literally and figuratively)! She is a very inspirational woman. If you haven’t read her story yet, don’t miss out and be sure to read yesterday's 2-way salmon post! On a completely different note, the weather Read more [...]
