Who doesn’t love a classic meatball? I crave them at least once a month. Not sure if it’s because they’re so saucy, so comforting, so packed with protein, so tasty…but there is definitely something about them that draws me to them often. A classic meatball goes well with anything; parsnip mash, roasted root vegetables, sweet potatoes, kale salad, zoodles, you
You’ll find this Beef and Sweet Potato Crockpot Chili recipe super easy to make and super easy to eat! I think my husband and I finished the whole pot in a matter of 2 days. It is delicious and comforting, perfect for those colder days when all we want to do is get cozy at
Pico de Gallo is a condiment you want to keep in your refrigerator at all times. Reason being: it is so versatile and stupid delicious. You can use it to top proteins (goes really well on top of grilled chicken or steak), to top omelets or egg scrambles, to spread on any type of roasted root or sweet
With the Super Bowl coming up in just a few days, I’ve decided to share some tasty finger foods with you this week. Food is such an important part of Super Bowl Sunday that we all must have a plan of attack, knowing exactly what we’ll be serving that day. We know that our loved
Pisco Sour is a very traditional drink in Peru, a neighboring country of the country where I grew up (Ecuador). The story behind it is that an American bartender, who worked at a popular upscale bar in the early 20’s, was the one who originated this drink. The original drink created only contained Pisco liquor,
I have been following a muscle building training program for the last month or so, and apart from heavy lifting, a big part of what will determine my success is my diet. What we eat and the timing of when we eat is huge for these type of things; our muscles need constant fuel to grow and recover, and they are
I made you a colorful and large plate of Paleo Nachos today. Isn’t it pretty? It’s got everything you’d want in a regular nachos plate, minus the cheese. But who needs dairy when you have spicy beef, creamy guacamole, flavorful salsa and crunchy sweet potato chips? Yum! Doesn’t it all just sound wonderful? A good nacho
Paleo Crepes…say whaaaaaat? Yes, they are possible. And yes, they are amazing. I’ve been a crepe lover for as long as I can remember. In Ecuador, crepes were very popular, and growing up, we had awesome little restaurants where we could go to and get some yummy crepes. They had all sorts of savory and sweet crepes,
I haven’t made meatloaf in a loooong time — in fact, I don’t think I’ve had a bite of meatloaf in at least a 2 years. It’s one of those things where you know its traditional recipe has gluten, so you just don’t think about it as a choice for dinner. However, for some strange reason both my husband and
Roasted butternut squash soup, warm blankets, a cozy fireplace, a romantic comedy…doesn’t this combination sound amazing? It would certainly make for the perfect weekend date at home, that’s for sure. Enjoying a good soup in the right environment can easily be one the most soothing activities one can do; it is almost therapeutic. It’s important
Twice baked? What does that mean? Is it a lot of work? Does it take hours to do? These might be some of the questions that pop into your head a after reading today’s recipe’s name. Totally normal. I’d be thinking the same thing too. Twice baked means just that. These sweet potatoes are first
Coconut oil is a beautiful thing. It is so good for you, so versatile. You can use it for so many things, like making scrambled eggs or moisturizing your skin. I literally start using coconut oil 10 minutes after waking up and after drinking 32 ounces of fresh filtered water, as I do coconut oil pulling for
Cashew Clusters have become one of my husband’s favorite treats. I keep them in the freezer for him, and slowly, but surely, I see them disappear. He’ll eat one or two at a time, so nothing crazy either, but he likes to enjoy them after dinner along with a nice cup of coffee. He’s one
These Mexican Sweet Potato Rounds are something special. I usually eat all of the recipes I make for my blog right after I photograph them, as I want to make sure I get the right picture before I jump in and devour. (That’s right, I eat all the food that I shoot. What? I can’t
This Winter Chicken Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette is one of my go-to salads in wintertime. It is filling and extremely delicious. Salads are a great way to nourish your body and to help keep your immune system strong. We should all try to have at least one nice, big salad a day. And today,

Creamy Paleo Coco Bites to the rescue. Have you ever been in such a hurry that you need to leave your house faster than lightening and there is no time at all for you to pack a lunch? Ah, yes. That’s happened to me…quite a few times. And when it happens, it stresses me out,
2016 is here and it has arrived along with a plethora of resolutions. Everyone seems to have one, and it seems to me like most of these resolutions are either health or fitness oriented. I am not sure when the “New Year’s Resolution” tradition started, but I am sure glad it did; it is a
Two days ago I was at the produce section of Boise’s Whole Foods, and to my surprise, I came across a sign that advertised Ecuadorian plantains. (I posted a picture of this on my Instagram account — do you have Instagram? If so, follow me!) I was utterly excited, because I had just returned from
If you talk to my friends, they’ll tell you that they’ve definitely had these Crispy Purple Sweet Potatoes served to them as a side dish when they come over for dinner in my home. Yup. That’s because these are my go-to side dish in wintertime and I am not shy about serving it over and
