Paleo Chips and Salsa

There is this one salsa at our city’s Co-Op that is amazing! It comes in three varieties: mild, medium and hot. I like hot. My husband likes medium. It is made locally, which I love; got to support my local folks! When you read its label, you get a list of all its ingredients, ingredients… Continue reading Paleo Chips and Salsa

Paleo Watermelon Sorbet

See? Isn't it adorable?!

Growing up, I never really was a fan of watermelon. I actually got disappointed when I was given a watermelon slice as a snack before lunch or dinner. I think a big reason for that was because I would way much rather indulge in creamier, richer, and thicker (crunchier) foods. I like to chew things.… Continue reading Paleo Watermelon Sorbet

Coconut-Almond Chicken Patties

Coconut. What a delicious little gift from nature. I LOVE coconut. I think it’s because I grew up with fresh coconut. In Ecuador, we could find fresh coconut at any small market, grocery store and fruit stand. Its funny, sometimes coconut seemed to find us. While vacationing at the beach, you could see natives pushing… Continue reading Coconut-Almond Chicken Patties

Spicy Bison Burgers

Bison. First time trying it ever. I was a bit intimidated by the name, not gonna lie. We never had bison at our dinner table in Ecuador. I probably never even knew people ate this animal now a days! J I was completely familiar with chicken, eggs, pork, beef, and fish…not bison. A couple of… Continue reading Spicy Bison Burgers

Salmon Parsley Patties

Living in Boise Idaho I am limited to getting my hands on good fresh fish. Yes, we do get fresh river fish, but it sort of isn’t the same. I usually just end up guying frozen fish or canned fish (tuna and salmon). Don’t get me wrong, I like having these options too (sometimes you… Continue reading Salmon Parsley Patties

Cilantro Beef Burgers

Lately I’ve been really fond of protein. I think it’s because I highly appreciate all the healthy fats different meats have offered me on the last couple of weeks. When you’re working out ever day (high intensity workouts), working on marketing projects, and cleaning and cooking a bunch, you get energy drained. Carbohydrates are our… Continue reading Cilantro Beef Burgers

Beef & Veggie Patties

Our family has a very planned out monthly budget. My husband and I have thought of all the expenses we could possibly have in a month, gave them a dollar value, and added them to our Mint.com account to keep us accountable and in check ;). It is good to budget. It saves you from going… Continue reading Beef & Veggie Patties

Banana Berry Ice Cream

My husband and I were obsessed for a while with, wait for it….frozen yogurt! It is sooooo not Paleo, but we still loved it. It was one of those things where you wonder if they add some sort of addictive drug to it, because you kept craving it and craving it non-stop. At least we… Continue reading Banana Berry Ice Cream

Simple Grilled Chicken

I HAVE to eat grilled chicken breast  when I want to feel like I’m having a super lean/healthy meal. Everything else seems like it’s some sort of a cheat meal to me. Don’t ask me why…saying this out loud even sounds crazy. But it’s true. That’s how my brain works. It might be the fact… Continue reading Simple Grilled Chicken
