7 Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes (4 of 7) – Paleo Parsnip Mash
People love mashed potatoes. This side dish is great to accompany steak with veggies, chicken, turkey, and even fish! It is also a Thanksgiving must; no dinner table on this holiday can be without a large mashed potatoes bowl and a big plate of gravy right by its side. Even though people love its taste,… Continue reading 7 Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes (4 of 7) – Paleo Parsnip Mash
Paleo Hummus
A Paleo Hummus Appetizer Recipe! Appetizers. What is it about them that attract us so much? Is it the fact that we get to share them with people? Is it that they are fun to eat, which is why sometimes they are referred as “finger food”? Is it that it is an “easier” dish to… Continue reading Paleo Hummus
Summer Squash Wedges
I’ve been active on various social channels and I’ve found a common need amongst various Paleo followers: the need for more easy-to-make side dish recipes. People want something easy, something that is not a salad, and something that requires few ingredients yet still remains delicious and exciting. I would like to dedicate this post to… Continue reading Summer Squash Wedges
Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes
Rosemary. What a lovely little piece of heaven. It’s one of my favorite herbs. Did you know that in Latin “Rosemary” means the “dew of the sea”?

I knew rosemary was romantic.… Continue reading Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

I just started the Live Fit Trainer. This is the fourth trainer I do in a row! In a row! No down time…diet, after diet…gym day after gym day. That’s tough. I must be one strong and determined woman. I mean, OF COURSE I’ve had my cheat meals, times where I’ve cried when weight lifting gets… Continue reading Coconut Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes
Patacones (like Plantain Chips, but better!)
There is nothing like our senses to bring back crystal clear memories. And for some reason, smell, sound, and taste seem to do the trick quite effectively! These three seem to trigger some sort of chemical (or so I think) reaction in our brains that brings back perfectly clear memories in a matter of seconds…just… Continue reading Patacones (like Plantain Chips, but better!)

I love to be a part of all things my hubby does, so of course I had to jump on the same boat and do the… Continue reading Bacon Wrapped Yam Fries
