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 [...]

paleof(x) remix

Wow! What a weekend. I met some amazing new friends, caught up with old friends, ate some spectacular food, learned a lot, and played to my heart's content. The photo below (taken by the talented Paleo Fat Kid) pretty much sums up my feelings about the weekend. Paleof(x) was a spectacular weekend, and now that [...]

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 [...]

egg-free, nut-free cocoa fudge brownies and the power of movement

By | 2016-04-10T10:09:12-08:00 March 20th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Autoimmune Paleo, CrossFit, Health, Movement Tips, Recipes|

Brownies, oh brownies, how I love brownies. You know what else I love (something that I haven't written much about recently, but practice every single day)? CrossFit and movement in general, really. Nutrition is the basis of health, yes, but movement, well that's what makes us human. It's something we all share a need for, [...]

buttery blondies (grain free, nut free, and delicious!)

By | 2016-04-10T10:10:18-08:00 March 16th, 2015|A Little Sweet Tooth, Recipes|

It's about time I posted another dessert recipe... at least that's what my husband argued when it came time for some fresh recipe testing. Sometimes a splurge is necessary, and in cases like this, I would much rather enjoy a treat that's not filled with processed sugars, flours, and crap oils. That's why I keep [...]

inflammation busting turmeric bacon chili

By | 2019-01-31T06:32:37-08:00 March 4th, 2015|Autoimmune Paleo, Health, Nutrition, Pastured Meat, Recipes|

How many of you have tried my chunky chili recipe? Of all my recipes, I have gotten the best feedback from this one. People seem to LOVE it, and I have to admit, I don't blame them; we do too. It's been a staple at our house every week (the ones we've been home, at [...]
