These Paleo Carrot Cake Muffins are paleo-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free, and make the perfect Easter treat! It’s April Already? Welcome to April my friends! Wait.. it’s April already?

I really dig spring, the slightly warmer temps, all the flowery vibes, almost my birthday – did...

Paleo Zucchini Bread
This grain-free, gluten-free zucchini bread recipe is the right mix of savory and sweet, and the perfect way to sneak veggies into your kids (or adult husbands) diets! You Can Put Zucchini in Bread? This was a total crazy idea to me. I’ve obviously never had zucchini bread in my life. I’m a huge fan of zucchini. It’s such a versatile little veggie that I use for morning smoothies, as a replacement for noodles or sliced up and roasted with...

Paleo Nachos (Whole 30 Compliant)
These savory Paleo Nachos feature minimal ingredients, and are a perfect game day or any time of the day treat. From Conventional to Paleo Game Day Treats I have a confession to make, I really don’t like football. Ever since I can remember, the Super Bowl is always a day everyone gets together and bet a lot of money on stupid things like who sings the national anthem, cheer on their team, and gaze over what big brand had the...

When Eating Healthy Isn’t Enough – My Experience with Leaky Gut and Hashimoto’s Part 1
The main reason I started my blog was to be as transparent as possible with my health.

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
These gluten free paleo chocolate chips cookies are the right amount of chewy, gooey and the perfect treat everyone can enjoy! There’s something about the holidays that brings out my inner Rachel Ray.

Some of my best Christmas memories involve baking cookies with my mom in the kitchen while listening to...

Mint Cacao Smoothie Bowl
Those smoothie bowls are so hot right now (cue Zooldander duck face). I for one am a huge fan of smoothie bowls. They can be a quick meal on the go, and they are also easy on the digestive system. They also serve as little works of art. I mean I’ve seen some smoothie bowls on Instagram that look like mini Picasso’s in a bowl – it’s crazy. What makes them so great is when the thickness is on point....

I know for me, being a woman who is doing everything, and wants to be perfect at everything, is a cocktail for anxiety and panic. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety is one of the most common mental illnesses in America. More than 40...
