Cinco de Mayo Menu Made Paleo Amigos, if you have followed some of my latest recipes, you KNOW I am pumped about Cinco de Mayo!!! A day to celebrate the history of Tex-Mex and big frozen margs. No? Ok, ok, but it is a fun festive holiday that many Americans celebrate, regardless of their personal…
Virgin Mojito
Truth be told, I am not a big drinker. Between illness and just wanting to feel sharp and energized, I discovered that libations and I are not BFFs. In the land of Paleo, some indulge and some don’t – there is no steadfast rule. But since my personal Paleo county is dry, I thought it…
Paleo Shepherd’s Pie {Grain/Dairy Free, AIP option}
Paleo Shepherd’s Pie {Grain/Dairy Free, AIP option} Growing up, my dad would channel his Irish roots and make his version of Shepherd’s Pie almost weekly. It was certainly edible though looking back I giggle at our family’s “healthy” rendition. See, my dad has for many years been a Vegetarian and this pie, affectionately referred to…
Juicy Cubes
I am a big fan of water, meaning I drink a lot of it. Do I love water? I do not. It bores me. I favor bubbly water the most because it at least has some kick but I sure wish it had more personality. This idea came to me today as I walked through…
Paleo Empanadas
I hate to brag, but can I? Okay, okay, I’ll hush up. But seriously, can I at least say that my pickypants Mister said these ranked up there with “the best of the best”? That is kind of major, because he is sort of, um, how do you say…”particular”? I mean I love the guy,…
Baked Paleo Tortillas {Grain free, Nut free, Vegan}
It’s TEX-MEX time! When I asked all you lovely friends what you wanted to see more of, TEX-MEX was ranked up there with requests for world peace and 75 degree days year round. Clearly I am not equipped to facilitate the latter two but TEX-MEX, this girl can do! I have mentioned before that I…
Best. Brisket. Ever.
Okay, so certainly there are many amazing briskets out there, and I have tasted many. But this was outrageously tender, slice with a fork, plates licked clean kind of good. It really was. This is more your Grandma’s Brisket than it is a Texas BBQ brisket. And you can trust that I know both well…
Grain Free Taco Shells {Paleo, Vegan}
You can take the girl outta Texas…yep, I’m pretty sure I have used this opening line before. But I digress. I will never get over Tex-Mex. I will never get over chips and queso. I will never get over a super limey margarita. I might not PARTAKE in these foods anymore, but I will always…
Paleo Bananas Foster
Paleo Bananas Foster I remember when I was younger going to fancy restaurants with my parents and watching them make Bananas Foster tableside. I was much less interested in the dessert than I was the fire inches from my face, but then again I was just a kid with a fire obsession. Totally kidding, sorta….
