It’s holiday baking season. I love to bake but I don’t necessarily need all of the extra sugar, so I’ve been working on a healthier brownie option. Paleo Dark Chocolate Brownies are made with all natural ingredients, are gluten free and contain NO sugar. I used honey and almond butter to provide a natural sweetness…
I’m so sad ya’ll, I just discovered my favorite summer salad and summer is almost over. Cucumber, Strawberry and Watermelon salad is amaZING! This week our produce box came filled with pickling cucumbers and I wasn’t really sure what to do with them so I just started slicing. I peeled them and thinly sliced them…
Another great option for a paleo-friendly breakfast that isn’t just eggs (other than my delicious chocolate chip pumpkin muffins) is pumpkin breakfast cookies. These are super simple and easy to change up just by simply using different “fillings” (nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc.) I used the rest of the canned pumpkin puree that…
My family loves pumpkin muffins and we used to make these cake mix pumpkin muffins but this recipe uses almond flour which makes them gluten-free and paleo-friendly. They are melt-in-your-mouth moist and have a touch of sweetness. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack as they aren’t overly sweet. Ingredients and Substituions ALMOND…
When the produce box arrive it contained okra, I’ve only ever had fried okra and that’s not very paleo. So I decided to do what any good paleo would do, wrap it in bacon. The result = awesome. The recipe is so easy it’s ridiculous. Ingredients Okra Bacon Directions Thoroughly wash and dry the okra…
We are slowing falling back into the groove of eating paleo. My sugar cravings, while still present, have toned down a bit. I’m still breastfeeding so I am pretty ravenous and craving a lot of protein. I try to keep meat or nut snacks available for quick and healthy protein. Breakfast – Half a Grapefruit…
Grocery shopping happened yesterday so our cupboards and refrigerator are full of paleo-friendly foods. I bought a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store and we ate 3 meals from one chicken. I highly advise buying a rotisserie chicken because it’s quick protein that tastes great. I also bought a whole chicken, already cut up, that…
Grocery Shopping – DoneNow it’s time to Meal Plan for this week. Meal Planning helps me SOOOO much, not only does it save us money but it helps us choose healthy options. This week I’m only going to plan lunches and dinners since Joe is off work this week. Sunday Lunch – Rotisserie Chicken Lettuce…
We’re on day three of our Whole30 Challenge and finally starting to get into the swing of things. Joe has this week off for vacation. We aren’t traveling because we are trying to be responsible with our finances. Plus the thought of traveling with 3 small kids stresses me out. We have a lot of…
