Paleo Energy Bites

I did a little food prep this afternoon. After whipping up some Roasted Sweet Potato Salad and Indian Spiced Chicken, I turned my attention to these cute little guys. I like to call them raisin nut bites but the Pinterest crowd likes to call them paleo energy bites. So as a sell-out to good blog traffic, this is what I will call them. Our family doesn’t necessarily eat paleo, but…

3 Things

As we head into the weekend, I wanted to share three things I’m loving right now. As someone who gives a weary side-eye to commercials and marketing tactics, I love to get the scoop on new things from people I trust. So please share something you’re loving in the comments, I want to get the scoop from you! ***** Live fashionABLE – I had never paid good money for a…

Paleo Turkey Chili

My favorite part of Halloween is probably the annual “make-the-face-of-your-pumpkin” photo. That never gets old. What does get old? The heat. I know, we choose to live here, but can’t I just wear a scarf once in the month of October? No? Ok fine. I’ll just take my whiny self into the air-conditioned house and curl up with a nice bowl of chili. This chili is incredible, and so worth the…

Paleo Turkey Crockpot Chili

My kids are in Pre-K and 1st Grade, and already we are feeling the tug of a go-go-go lifestyle.  Between soccer, baseball, school functions, and church, sometimes it feels like we never stop moving.  What will it be like when they’re a little older and want to add music, dance, and other sports into the mix?  Yikes. With our busy schedule, the crockpot has become my new best friend.  I…

Easy Turkey Chili

It’s pouring rain right now.  POURING.  We keep looking out the window, mouths wide open, “It’s still raining.  Can you believe it?  It’s still raining!“ Rain means a break from the heat. Rain means a preview of fall temperatures. Rain means chili. This is an older recipe, which means I haven’t updated it for our paleo low-FODMAP month, but this would be easy to tweak.  I’ll just take out the…

Hitting the reset button on healthy eating

I’ve decided to hop back on the Paleo low-FODMAP eating plan.  (What are FODMAPs? Click here.)  This past month has been more down than up in terms of my health, and the worse I felt, the more lazy I became in my eating (which I’m sure made me feel even worse).  I was grabbing a bar for breakfast, maybe even a bar for lunch, scrounging for a dinner I wouldn’t…

Coconutty Turkey Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

I can’t take credit for these tasty nuggets.  My mom made a batch and sent a container home with me a few weeks ago. They were for the kids. I ate them all. Oops.   I thought I should make it up to them, so I made a batch.  Then another.  Then another.  We have been having them once a week ever since.  Partly because they’re so easy, partly because…
