These Summer Squash Wedges are wonderfully addicting; they’re a great dipper for any sauce and pair well with all grilled proteins.

Bacon Guacamole

At my household we eat guacamole like it’s going out of style, having it two to three times a week. This is a lot of guacamole, considering our portion consists of a full Molcajete (shared between two people). Usually my husband ends up eating a little more than me, and that right there helps me

Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

Rosemary. What a lovely little piece of heaven. It’s one of my favorite herbs.  Did you know that in Latin “Rosemary” means the “dew of the sea”? Apparently rosemary, in various locations, needs no water other than the humidity carried by the sea breeze to survive. How pretty is that? I knew rosemary was romantic.

Banana Nutella Popsicles

For no particular reason, I have been making a lot of different types of nut butters lately. I feel like my refrigerator has become a nut-butter jar collector. Probably housing seven different nut-butter jars. No joke; it’s straight up crazy. That’s a lot for our family of two, especially since my husband solely consumes a

Egg Salad

Planning or attending social events has been a bit of a challenge for me since I started Paleo. Wait, no. Let me re-phrase. It’s been a bit of an adjustment. Usually one just eats whatever is provided at a party; foods that smell good or look pretty. One usually doesn’t really think of the ingredients

Paleo Rosemary Bread

I think it’s been 11 months since I’ve had a sandwich. Paleo says no grains, so I stay away from all bread. Except for my Paleo banana bread and Paleo muffins, of course. I just haven’t had the salty-tasting bread…you know, the normal kind. That’s pretty insane if you ask me. 11 months without having a
