Summer is here and that means lots of summer barbecues, but it can be hard to navigate these gatherings to find healthy foods. If you’re not familiar with the Whole30 program, I definitely suggest checking it out here. It’s a free program I have done at least 4 times (I usually modify it for low…
Easy Weeknight Meatballs (Paleo and Low Carb)
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a blog post, not because I’ve given up on low carb/paleo eating, but because life changes have limited my space (and natural light) to take food photos. I used to have a photography “studio” (really it was just an extra bedroom) with plenty of space to have all my…
Roasted Spiced Radishes (Paleo and Low Carb)
When I first changed my diet I started by lowering my carbs and one of the best substitutes for potatoes was radishes. At first I wasn’t going to try it because most of my experience with radishes was in raw form in salads. Yuck! I definitely wasn’t a fan of raw radishes, but I decided to…
Herb Crusted Pork Loin (Low Carb and Paleo)
I usually get all my meat from a local farm that has grassfed beef plus pastured chicken, pork, and turkey. It’s so convenient to be a part of the “meat share” and each month and I pick up the meat at the farmer’s market once a month. It’s already packaged and I store it in…
Lemon Basil Grilled Chicken (Paleo and Low Carb)
I love making my own salad dressings. Ever since I stopped eating store bought mayonnaise because it’s full of canola oil and/or soybean oil and I got tired of many, many, many failed attempts at a homemade paleo mayo that actually tastes good (well good enough for my beloved Ranch seasoning). So I had to turn to…
How To Use a Whole Coconut + $100 Gift Card to MightyNest Giveaway
I’ll admit it, the thought of handling a whole coconut is a little daunting. Where do you start? The good news is that it’s actually pretty easy and a great way to Savor the Summer! School’s out! It’s time to focus on enjoying the long days of summer with family and friends. Barefoot temps, fresh…
#Whole30 Taco and “Rice” Stuffed Acorn Squash (Paleo and Low Carb)
My Whole30 is over, but I wanted to share the meal I had on the last day….Taco and “Rice” Stuffed Acorn Squash. I absolutely loved the slightly sweet acorn squash paired with the spiciness of the taco meat and caul-rice. They balance each other out very well. Acorn squash is a nice hearty vegetable that…
Paleo Pen Pals and #Whole30 Cajun Mushroom Encrusted Rainbow Trout
This month I participated in Paleo Pen Pals. I had participated in a foodie pen pal group before, but I was looking for something a little more low carb/paleo friendly. Luckily, Tarah from What I Gather and Brittanie from Three Diets One Dinner had the great idea of forming a Paleo Pen Pals exchange. Basically…
Days 15-16 and #Whole30 Pesto "Noodles" (#LowCarb and #Paleo)
I really wanted some pesto so I decided to throw it on my second favorite noodle substitute…spaghetti squash (second behind zucchini noodles). Pesto is typically made with nuts (which I am staying away from during the Whole30) and cheese (not Whole30 approved). I decided to leave out the nuts and throw in a little nutritional…
