Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes

IMG_1299

  For my son’s 2nd birthday party last weekend, I wanted to create two different cupcakes. One for the chocolate lovers, and one using one of his favorite fruits: Strawberries. Even though I knew he probably wouldn’t eat one (he’s not into desserts oddly!), I couldn’t throw a birthday party without cupcakes. He cried when … Read more

A Paleo Birthday Party

PaleoBirthday5

My little man turned two on Saturday and we threw him a pool party at our neighborhood clubhouse. We’ve been in a heat wave here, and because we were transporting the food from our house down the street, I wanted the menu to be easy and not require lots of oven time. I also wanted … Read more

Hawaiian Turkey Burgers

*Note: I have recently learned that letting ground meat marinate in fresh pineapple juice too long completely breaks down the connective tissues, leaving you with mush. Make sure to only marinate these patties for the time listed if using fresh juice. Canned juice should not have the same effect. These burgers are my version of … Read more

Did you know the Nutri-Grain Bar slogan is “Take Care of You”? I guess Kellogs didn’t get the memo that soy, corn syrup, corn starch, and “enriched” flours are really hindering your well-being rather than “taking care of you.” I’m not usually one to bash commercial food items sold in mass amounts at grocery stores, … Read more

The lemon and parsley … Read more

  This vegetable curry only takes 15 minutes to prepare and is packed full of anti-inflammatory spices! It’s also night-shade free and the first thing I’ll be making when we start our 30-day cleanse!

Heirloom Gazpacho with Bay Shrimp

IMG_4490_WM

  Tomato season is upon us! We took our weekly visit to our small local Farmer’s market and the aisles looked like a sea of red, speckled with yellows and oranges from the gorgeous heirlooms that are currently in their prime. Heirloom tomato season, in particular, is my favorite time of the year. The unusual … Read more
