Keep cool & popsicle on! It’s becoming harder to find some of our favorite store-bought summer favorites without all the added sugar so I am taking matters into my own hands! Growing up in the Iowa humidity, popsicles were a summer staple. Does anyone remember Orange Push Ups? Those were my jam, but sugar &…
If you’re anything like me, soup probably doesn’t jump to the front of your mind when discussing “summer foods.” After all, I’m usually trying to cool off, not put hot liquid into my body. Neverthless, the right soup can make for an easy, tasty meal. Just like the old saying – “easy like summer time!”…
I don’t know about you but I don’t think there is anything as satisfying as a greasy, juicy burger. Paleo-be-damned, I am an Iowan at heart and that means I’m not afraid to take down an all beef patty any day of the week. Plus, now that it’s summer grillin’ season – the burger craving…
If you’ve been following me lately on Instagram, you know that I’ve been deemed the “Arugula Lady” by a local vendor that sells regularly at our farmers’ markets. I think it’s really fun to talk to the vendors and get to know where the food is coming from, but getting a nickname takes that to…
Most of the recipes you’ll find on my blog are “reimagined” Paleo or Whole30 versions of my favorite dishes. This week’s project – enchiladas. I’ve always been a fan of enchiladas, particularly if they’re the extra saucy variety. And although one may consider an enchilada a fairy simple & healthy dish – just meat, tortilla & sauce…
It’s National Women’s Health week so it was only fitting that I woke up on Monday feeling like a million bucks. Don’t you love it when that happens? I know exactly what it takes for me to wake up feeling well rested but I don’t always take the steps to achieve that end result. One…
BBQ sauce & summer go hand in hand and this recipe is another great way to utilize leftovers from my Crispy Crockpot Jalapeno Pork Carnitas. I love BBQ sauce just as much as the next guy but the more I experimented with my diet the more I realized the sensitivity I have to sugar, and…
Cindo De Mayo has come & gone, but it’s never too late for nachos. We decided to bypass the crowds on Friday, instead opting for Cajun at one of our favorite restaurants here in Northern Colorado. And although I did order a margarita on Cinco De Mayo, the lack of some hearty Mexican food on…
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Street tacos? Me too! The one thing I miss about living in Nebraska is our favorite taco joint. When Will was living in Lincoln during law school, we found this hole in the wall Mexican joint that sold the…
The more comfortable I’ve gotten with my clean eating lifestyle, the more I’ve started to incorporate other natural products into my daily routines. For me, food is my anchor. Eating clean is the foundation that puts me in a positive mental state and it’s that state of mind that started the process of wondering what other…
