I just love mug muffins. There’s something amazing about mixing up an egg with some coconut flour and eating a big ol’ muffin a minute later. I’ve made so many mug muffin variations; it’s almost embarrassing. Not quite though, because mug muffins are awesome! Mangoes are in season again and so now…
Bacon and Avocado Kelp Noodle Salad
When I was younger, my favorite cookout food was the pasta salad. No joke. Even when I went paleo, I could forego the bun and potatoes and chips and soda, but I always had to have a scoop of the pasta salad. Now that I’m a diagnosed celiac, cookout pasta salad cheats are out…
Cassava Flour Pizza Crust (paleo thin crust)
My family loves pizza. Before paleo, we loved to have make-you-own-pizza movie nights. Mom would make her famous herbed pizza dough, and then we would all roll out our little circles of dough and top the crusts to our hearts’ desires. We went through a lot of paleo pizza dough recipes to find one…
Creamy Butternut Squash Lasagna (AIP, guest post on The Paleo Mom)
My family has a long history of casseroles. My favorite supper as a child was my grandmother’s tater tot casserole, which involved beef, cheese, tater tots, and of course the ever-present cream of mystery soup. I also loved my mother’s chicken and rice casserole, which for me was more of a rice casserole with a…
Paleo Swedish Meatballs with Roasted Veggies

Taco-Spiced Paleo Deviled Eggs (guest post on PaleOMG)
I’m so excited and honored to be guest posting these paleo deviled eggs on PaleOMG! I’ve never been quite sure if I liked deviled eggs. They always sounded like a great idea, but the reality always seemed to disappoint. I decided to try and make some myself, subbing avocado for the mayo and adding some…

Spaghetti Squash Carbonara with Butternut Squash
I love to bake. Like love it. Breads, cookies, muffins, pies; if it has sugar; I love to make it paleo. But it’s the new year now, and I’m pretty sure everybody is pretty sugared out from the holidays. I was in the mood for something comforting and creamy when I made this carbonara,…

I eat it every day, every meal, every snack. Just so delicious. It’s amazing how when you start eating real food how…

Sound crazy? Just try it. It is so delicious. Crisp bacon wrapped around tender, mild salmon; it’s like a…
Bacon Wrapped Chicken With Mushrooms and Onions
Chicken is probably the most boring meats there is. Correction: Chicken is the most underrated meats there is. I’m sure you all know what I mean. I have lots of pre-paleo memories of dry chicken breasts. Very dry. When people go paleo, they think their days of chicken breasts are over. And they’re right, mostly. …
How to Make A Hard boiled Egg Perfectly (Tutorial)
Ah yes… the infamous hard-boiled egg. So simple, yet so insidious, its creamy white and yellow interior hiding dark secrets of difficulty. The hard-boiled egg seems like it should be easy, and it is, but it’s also really easy to mess up. Leave it cooking too long and the yolk is gritty; take it off…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
My dad loves this soup. I was totally shocked, because he hates squash. Like he will not touch a squash with a ten-foot pole. But he is dipping potato chips in it as I type. Not that I recommend that for health reasons, but still, I have never seen him even consider eating anything orange….
