I have been loving bars lately, because they’re just so easy. Easy to make, bake, and grab to eat. And when you’re using Paleo ingredients, that “bar” texture is an easy one to re-create. Things like creamy almond butter, fluffy almond flour, and smooth bananas just seem to lend themselves perfectly to a fudgy bar consistency. Now these aren’t just any ol’ sweet “treat” of a…
After doing my initial research on the Whole30, and learning about all the things I could not enjoy, I had one question I was almost scared to ask: What about my coffee? Thankfully the answer to coffee on Whole30 is YES, but I was left with just one more question that was equally as scary: *gulp* Will I have to drink it black? While I can stomach a cup of black coffee,…
I have seen a few different versions of a skillet seared-then-baked chicken with sun dried tomatoes floating around on Pinterest & Instagram (like this one from “Diethood” and this one from “Cafe Delites”).

When I was around 16, my mom found a recipe for some low-carb berry scones using frozen berries and oats, and it was one morning treat I just couldn’t resist. Knowing they…
First things first, let’s throw a few things out there: Potatoes get crispy in the oven. Squash does not. I went on a mission to make this happen– crispiness, that is. And I pulled out all the stops to get my squash ACAP (as crispy as possible)! The result turned out better than I hoped! Still not as crispy as you could get a potato, but an excellent substitute…
A light, tender protein that cooks in 5 minutes or less?! It may sound too good to be true, but these scallops are the real deal! I love how they taste so light & summery over a giant fresh salad- yet can fill you right up on a chilly night, served over creamy Butternut Squash Cauliflower Risotto or with spaghetti squash in my Creamy Lemon Garlic “Pasta” with Scallops. Scallops…
