Fat: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

This post is just going to summarize the different kinds of fat there are and the general affect they have on your body. For a more in depth look at fats visit Robb Wolf's blog, read his book, go to Mark's Daily Apple, or look at information from any other Paleo expert on fats. I can tell you now, I am not a Paleo expert so if I get any of this information wrong, I'm sorry in advanced. The general assumption in this day and...

Copy Cat Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate

This was an ice cream recipe. Sorry for the sub par photos :\ Weird, I know. Going from cold to hot. But I swear it tastes just like Swiss Miss. It's even dairy free! The recipe is based on this ice cream recipe from George at Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations. I seriously recommend his website. It's got tons of awesome recipes...

The End of Paleo Month

Yesterday was our last day of being Paleo month. And I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I didn't really notice much of a change. I have a little more energy now, so eating grain-free could have something to do with that. But I also think that we weren't strict enough. The main idea of the Paleo diet is to eliminate the three main...

Exciting News

This post is going to be very short. I don't have a recipe to share, or anything about my thoughts on health, or writing advice. Instead, I have some very exciting news. Well, exciting to me, anyways. The company who sponsored the contest I wrote a novel in November. Most of you know that. (To see my posts on that see this, this, and...

Easy Blueberry Syrup

Did you know that yesterday was National Pancake Day? Yep, it was. So for dinner last night, I made the best gluten free pancakes ever. The recipe is from the Paleo Parents. They were light, fluffy, didn't burn, and weren't dense. Score! My sister insisted that I add pink food dye for Valentine's Day and, may I say, they were quite...

Red Velvet Cake Balls

"If only it were legal to marry food." Those were the words out of my mouth after trying one of these cake balls. They're rich, chocolate-y, and moist. With a dash of red or pink sprinkles over the top, they're the perfect Valentine's Day treat. And, if you're single, you're in luck! Because you won't want to share these. I promise. I...

Random Ramblings

Just a short post today. For some reason, I'm exhausted. I have no idea why. I'm hoping to go to bed early. We'll see how that goes. I'll probably accidentally read longer than I should. Has that ever happened to you? When you're so absorbed in a good book that you say 'one more chapter' over and over until you realize how late it actually...

Paleo Month: Week 3

The beginning of week 3 has been kinda rough. I feel nauseous and sluggish. I don't want to do anything. I haven't even felt like blogging! *Gasp!* Hopefully, this funk ends soon because I'm tired of feeling so lethargic. Our month is almost over and we're doing really well so far. No one's cheated- yet. We even went out to dinner on...

Paleo Super Bowl Recipe Round-Up

I realize this post is coming kinda late, but better late than never, right? Personally, I couldn't care less who wins the Super Bowl. I have some relatives who live in Maryland so I'm rooting for the Ravens, but football really isn't my thing. In fact, I just don't like to watch sports on TV. Unless they're the Olympic ones like figure...

Nutella Nut Balls

 The idea had been growing in my head for a while to make hazelnut chocolate "Larabars", but it wasn't until a few days ago that I decided to actually make them. Boy, am I glad I did! The first batch disappeared in less than 24 hours! I didn't eat them all of course, but I helped the rest of my family to. ;)  Nutella has...
