Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits with Coconut Whipped Cream
(Note: This post may contain affiliate links. Read more about them here.) On Saturday night I ran frantically through the conventional grocery store down the street from my house. I was one in a hundred people searching for the perfect Mother’s Day meal ingredients. I knew what I wanted to make (my perfect Paleo Strawberry…

11 Tips to Save Money on Healthy Food
When I first started eating healthy, I noticed that the products I bought were definitely more expensive than the less healthy products I had bought previously. The difference between conventional and organic produce was probably the biggest shock to me. It was a little frustrating, but I knew what my body needed, and I was okay paying…

Paleo Flaxseed Flat Bread
I have a serious problem, and I’m not quite sure how to cure myself. You see, I’m rather good at making messes. Especially kitchen messes. I will bake up a storm and use every pot, pan, bowl, and fork in the house in less than 24 hours. Believe me. I’m a pro. But that’s not…

Vegan Broccoli Carrot Salad
The temperature outdoors has been so exciting this week. And by exciting, I mean that it’s been an adventure. We’ve had quite a bit of rain (which is strange for the desert we live in) and the temperatures have gone from highs of 80 to highs of 55. It certainly makes it a challenge to…

Paleo Grasshopper Chocolate Cupcakes
(Note: This post may contain affiliate or product links. Read more about them here.) About a year ago I discovered this cupcake recipe, and I haven’t been the same since.

5 Steps I Took to Clean Eating

Why I Stopped Buying Laundry Detergent (DIY Laundry Detergent Recipe)
Ahhh. The fresh, flowery scent of clean laundry chemicals. Pine-mountain freshness irritating your skin while Fields-of-flowers is absorbed into your blood-stream. All right. I’m not sure if that last bit is true. But I do know that laundry soap can exacerbate skin problems like eczema (which I used to get a lot before living clean)…

10 Things to Understand About “Being Healthy”
“I’m tired ALL the time!” I told the doctor adamantly. My blood tests had come back normal, with no explanation as to why I would still feel fatigued. Over the years doctors told me: “You’re depressed,” or “Your blood pressure is a little low, so, maybe eat salt?” I needed an answer, and soon! “You’re overweight,” she…

Green Chili Stew
Growing up in the Southwest, I feel that I had a great introduction to authentic Mexican and Navajo cuisine. Much like I grew to love the desert heat and the smell of an oncoming rainstorm, I grew to love spicy foods with complex flavors from Navajo tacos to street tacos, to sopapillas and chimicangas. My family never…

Paleo Pot Pie (Plus Vegan Option!)
The holiday season is in full-swing at our house! Our live tree is decked to the hilt with all the ornaments above what I call the “toddler-reach” line. Our tree looks quite ridiculous–and not just because all the ornaments are on the top 1/3 of the tree! Every year we try and find the…
