Blueberry Banana Almond Protein Smoothie Purple. I love it. There’s something about this color that reinvigorates me and gives me the will to live. I don’t know whether it’s my fondness for ube, a Filipino yam, or my undying love for Prince, or just the nature of the color itself, but when I was developing…

Paleo Naked Burrito Bowls
Paleo Naked Burrito Bowls I’m a big fan of meal prep. Not just because I love to cook and, especially, eat. It’s more because I like the value of Time. I love the satisfaction and happiness of knowing that during the weekday when I come home from work the ingredients that need to be chopped…
Sausage, Peppers, & Onions
Sausage, Peppers, & Onions Adapted from Lexi’s Clean Kitchen http://lexiscleankitchen.com/2013/08/28/sausage-peppers-onions/ Wow. That’s all I’ve been saying after my first bite of this delicious, simple – and did I mention, delicious? – one-pot meal. Prep time is minimal and everything comes together in minutes. Start to finish is about twenty minutes. And that’s perfect when you’re…
Fully-Loaded Home Fries
Fully-Loaded Sweet Potato Home Fries A Tasty Page original recipe I love breakfast. I’m not talking about the quick rush job during the week of having a bowl of cereal or frying or scrambling up a couple of eggs before flying off to work. And I’m definitely not talking about the scrambled eggs I used…
Paleo Coconut Flour Biscuits
Paleo Coconut Flour Biscuits Adapted from Just Paleo Food http://www.justpaleofood.com/coconut-flour-biscuits-dairy-gluten-free/ Thanksgiving is next week and I’m so excited! This is the only time of year that I can look down at my plate and see not only turkey, but stuffing, mashed potatoes (like these bad boys http://www.thetastypage.com/baked-mashed-potatoes-with-mozzarella-and-parmesan-bread-crumbs/) , and macaroni and cheese. Oh yeah, and…
Oven-Roasted Chicken Shawarma
Oven-Roasted Chicken Shawarma Adapted from The New York Times http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017161-oven-roasted-chicken-shawarma I can’t remember the last time I had chicken shawarma. I’m talking about real, from a sky-high, spinning rotisserie spit kind of chicken shawarma. It had to have been from the 90s because I remember following the OJ trial and then having a shawarma after….
Sweet Potato Hash Browns
Sweet Potato Hash Browns Adapted from Bravo for Paleo http://bravoforpaleo.com/2014/10/12/paleo-sweet-potato-hash-browns/ If I could kiss a recipe because it is so good this would definitely be one of them. For real. I just made the first batch and taste-tested one and it was so delicious and crispy. I don’t quite believe in love at first…
Paleo Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies An original recipe from The Tasty Page When it comes to choosing between sweet and savory I always choose savory. I’d rather have macaroni and cheese for dessert than a piece of cake. Seriously, how awesome does that sound? I’ve actually never had mac and cheese for dessert and that kind…
Cinnamon Pecan Brittle
Cinnamon Pecan Brittle Adapted from Elana’s Pantry http://elanaspantry.com/cinnamon-pecan-brittle/ For the longest time I hated brittle. Specifically, peanut brittle. Probably because when I was a little girl – and up to when I was an awkward teen with a bad perm-mullet combination – I would get as a present a box of peanut brittle. I’m sure…
Baked Sweet Potato Chips with Avocado Cilantro Dip
Baked Sweet Potato Chips with Avocado Cilantro Dip Baked Sweet Potato Chips adapted from Delish http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a49369/sweet-potato-chips-recipe/ Avocado Cilantro Dip – a Tasty Page original recipe Game Day is on Sunday and it’s guaranteed that chips and dip will be involved. But then again, I don’t want a food hangover come Monday morning. So to lighten…
