Roasted Butternut Squash Kale Salad

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and enjoyed your Super Bowl parties and all of the goodies that were served. This year I kept my Super Bowl food very basic Paleo; I ate tons of sweet potatoes, grilled proteins and delicious salads with lots of fruits. My husband, however, totally caved in and had 4+ slices

Pisco Sour

Pisco Sour is a very traditional drink in Peru, a neighboring country of the country where I grew up (Ecuador). The story behind it is that an American bartender, who worked at a popular upscale bar in the early 20’s, was the one who originated this drink. The original drink created only contained Pisco liquor,

I literally start using coconut oil 10 minutes after waking up and after drinking 32 ounces of fresh filtered water, as I do coconut oil pulling for

Paleo Banana Bread with Blueberries

Bread makes life better. It just does! Typically, the Paleo diet doesn’t allow bread, as regular bread carries a lot of grains and some dairy (which are two big no-no’s on this diet). However, we can get a little tricky and make our own bread…making it 100% Paleo approved! I love that in the Paleo
