Cereal. Americans’ breakfast of choice.  It’s crunchy, sweet, accessible, fun to eat, and incredibly tasty. There’s a flavor for everyone out there; you can find fruit tasting cereal, Oreo cereal, plain cereal, diet cereal, gluten-free cereal, you name it. I used to have a bowl of cereal every morning in high school and college; this was before I turned Paleo, of course. It was for sure my go-to breakfast item and one of the things I looked forward to the most in the AM. I loved the Vanilla-Almond Read more [...]

Aren’t snacks on-the-go ideal? I love having a quick nutritious treat ready to go for when I find myself in a hurry. It is so great to have something already prepared that won’t spill, wont smell, wont be weird to pull out while in meetings, and that will just hit the spot perfectly. I highly dislike being hungry; it actually makes me very grumpy, which I dislike even more! You don’t ever want to be around me when my blood sugar levels go down…I might unleash the beast! ;) Am I exaggerating? Read more [...]

I love making people happy. I love to create. I love to share. I love to feed. When you add all of those up, what do you get? Bread making time! You may be thinking…”moooore bread recipes?!” Well. Yes! I just can’t say it enough…I LOVE bread! But doesn’t everyone? Don’t you? J I am gonna share with you yet another super-keeper recipe. It’s sweet, nutty, moist, crunchy and gluten-free (but so is everything else that’s Paleo! Gotta love it!) Doesn’t that bread description Read more [...]

Do Paleo people feel the need to have bread once in a while? YES. Goodness, yes! At least I do for sure. I love bread. Love its texture, love all that you can make with it (sandwiches, french toast, etc.) and I especially love how fun it is to eat it (its ok, you can call me weird). Bread makes me feel all sorts of happy. Can you tell I have a thing for it? Because of this strong love I have for bread, I am dedicating the next two blog posts solely to it. These recipes wont be the savory kind, Read more [...]

How about having a healthy treat today? One with which you wont sacrifice healthy digestion, feeling energized or even your diet. My 'Paleo Nut-less Muffins' recipe provides the best of both worlds...it satisfies a sweet tooth, while sticking to a diet (all ingredients are natural and the recipe is grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free & gluten-free!). I don't think anybody should ever have to sacrifice flavor to eat clean and stay lean. I have discovered a new love, one for carrots. This Read more [...]

I have another awesome recipe for you guys! Sweet, full-of-spice, crunchy granola. This recipe contains no grains, no dairy and no gluten. It is 100% Paleo approved! It’s hands down the best granola I’ve ever had, and trust me when I say that I know my granola (before I was all Paleo, granola was my go-to snack). So quick, gather your spices, nuts and all the yummy ingredients this recipe calls for, and get baking. The whole family will go crazy over this treat. Enjoy it with coconut milk, Read more [...]

Here it is. The Thanksgiving dinner signature dessert. Pumpkin pie. A little piece of heaven everyone looks forward to during this time of year. I am very excited and proud of this treat; I am confident you all will enjoy it as much as my husband, friends and I have. We've eaten it slowly and carefully to fully savor every single bite. I've even served it with our tiny little espresso spoons, that way puny bites are guaranteed ;). Crazy much?! Nah...just crazy about this pie. Thanksgiving Read more [...]

Paleo Chocolate n’ Espresso Truffles. Chewy-chocolaty perfection…great for accompanying the up-and-coming holiday spirit! I know you may think it’s a little early for Christmas…but you know what? Apparently it’s not…it’s everywhere I go! Department stores in the mall are selling Christmas ornaments and decor; Costco has massive nativity sets for sale; downtown shops are slowly decorating their windows all Christmas-like…it honestly is super contagious and I love it! I’m ready Read more [...]

My last post featured a pumpkin based recipe (Paleo Pumpkin-Spice Bread). Today’s recipe will also call for pumpkin; however, today’s treat will taste 100% different than yesterday’s treat. Lets just say it’ll be nuttier. Instead of using coconut as a base, you’ll use almonds. I love baking with almonds! It makes everything taste richer and feel crunchier. In light of our nearest holiday, Halloween, I’ve decided to bake some Halloween-themed muffins: Pumpkin Muffins. Look at these Read more [...]

On my last post I talked about my efforts on eating less sugars and not eating past 9pm.  So far it’s going great; I’m eating pretty healthy and clean, making sure my meal timing is right and that my foods contain as little sugar as possible. However, I still get a random craving here and there for something sweet. When this happens, it’s usually in the afternoon, around 5pm. This is totally normal; we do live in a “Sugar Nation”, where we find ourselves surrounded by ads and influences Read more [...]
