I am giving away TWO large canisters of Vital Proteins (read on for more details and a COUPON CODE for everyone)! There's been a lot of talk about collagen from grass ged cows and its myriad benefits as of late. And if you've been following my blog or Instagram, it should come as no surprise [...]

blueberry peach cobbler

Memorial Day is here, which means that summer is coming, and I am a happy camper. Sunshine, summertime, huge changes coming our way, and a WHOLE new crop of amazing fruit at farmers market. Nothing says summer like fresh blueberries, bursting with flavor, or biting into a sweet, juicy peach. These two fruits are a [...]

Wait for it.... I used to be a vegetarian. Breath. Hard to believe right? Now that I am the one nibbling on beef liver, adding bacon to everything, and loving myself some rare grass fed steak, it's hard to imagine there was a time when I wouldn't touch meat. I thought I was being as [...]

an electrolyte elixir and the guile of Gatorade

By | 2015-04-29T06:37:41-08:00 April 28th, 2015|Autoimmune Paleo, CrossFit, Health, Nutrition, Recipes, To Drink|

As an active part of the CrossFit community and a life-long athlete of pretty much every team sport available to me as a kid, I have seen my fair share of sugary sports drinks, advertised, purchased, and handed out for their electrolytes and performance enhancement. The reality, though? It's all hogwash. Look no further than THIS [...]

homemade sprouted seed crackers

Close your eyes and imagine the taste, texture, and crunch of biting into a crispy, flavorful cracker smothered in the spread of your choice (for me it's fresh sheep's milk cheese). Damn, I missed that... That is until now. If you've switched over to a mostly grain-free, whole food lifestyle, you might be able to [...]

tigernut butter muffins and a product review!

By | 2016-03-16T13:41:49-08:00 April 6th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Breakfast, Grab and Go, Health, Recipes|

Ever heard of a tigernut? No, it's not made from tiger genitalia (I thought I would get that out of the way from the start). And no, it's actually not even a nut! TigerNuts are actually tubers, another radical root that has stolen my heart and my tastebuds. Even cooler? Tigernuts actually comprised up to 80% of [...]

the perfect sweet potato fries

By | 2015-04-14T14:22:47-08:00 April 2nd, 2015|Autoimmune Paleo, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

Almost every person who has switched over to a paleo diet has attempted homemade sweet potato "fries" with the anticipation of recreating the crispy, oily, salty goodness that so many restaurants have recently started offering on their menus. After valuable time spent in the kitchen, these folks will open the oven, grab a fry, and take [...]
