Apple Cider Vinaigrette

What I love about this Apple Cider Vinaigrette is that it serves two big purposes. The first is that it enhances the taste and enjoyment of our salads and vegetables, and the second is that it provides amazing health benefits. Keep it in the refrigerator in a tight lid jar for up to 2 weeks;

Paleo BBQ Sauce

Raise your hand if you’re ready for Summer. Me, me, me. I am. I keep telling my husband this phrase: “You know, I am ready for some careless fun”. What I mean by that is, I am ready to be silly, to go out and do random stuff, to make friends with strangers, to say

Plantain Cake

An ingredient that reminds me a ton of my beautiful home country, Ecuador, is the glorious plantain. And that’s because my beautiful mother, who still lives in Ecuador, used to make us plantain treats nonstop. Both Ecuador and my mom are constantly a part of my thoughts, but this time a year, I think of both extra strong because of

Sweet Raspberry Paleo Muffins

We’ve had raspberries galore in our home these last few weeks, because Whole Foods has had raspberries on sale for a long time now, so naturally, I’ve been adding them to my shopping cart every single time I step foot over there (which is like every other day, #foodbloggerprobs). I’ve had to get creative with how I

Paleo Plantain Waffles

One of my favorite ingredients to use when baking breads, muffins, pancakes, waffles and cakes is one that doesn’t come to mind right away when thinking about baking, but is one that I personally love because I think it plays a big role in the outcome of baked goods. Do you guys have an idea of

Creamy Paleo Waldorf Salad

I have a thing for creamy foods. For example, I am a total sucker for yogurt (dairy-free ones, like: cashew, coconut, etc.), Paleo smoothies (obvs — see why here!), thick curries, and creamy desserts (like cheesecake, fudge and brownies). I don’t know exactly what it is about feeling that smooth creaminess in my mouth, but alls I know is that I loooooves it.

Sonoma Chicken Salad

My hubby recently had a blood test done and his results came back showing higher than normal creatinine levels…again. His last few blood tests have shown higher creatinine levels, so things have not gotten better. Such a bummer, especially since he’s been actively following doctor’s orders in order to get those levels in check. The doctor had recommended that

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Twice baked? What does that mean? Is it a lot of work? Does it take hours to do? These might be some of the questions that pop into your head a after reading today’s recipe’s name. Totally normal. I’d be thinking the same thing too. Twice baked means just that. These sweet potatoes are first

Simple Paleo Bread

My family loves bread, and I think this love started with my great grandma. Every day, my great grandma would eat freshly baked Ecuadorian bread; she had a piece for breakfast and a piece for her “light dinner” (which consisted of just “cafecito con pan” — coffee with bread). It was very cute to watch her eat her meals; she ate them

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, all that you can make with it (sandwiches, french toast, etc.) and how fun it is to eat (think all you can make with toast!). Bread makes me

About time I cooked something in the crockpot to share with you guys! I usually use the crockpot a lot in the wintertime, making flavorful recipes that seem to warm up the house with wonderful smells. Winters in Idaho are tough, and believe me when I say ANY little positive thing counts. If it wasn’t
