I seem to be leaning on the blog’s archived sauces lately. While that may be a bit uncreative of me, there’s nothing wrong with using what works! And the basil cream atop this meatloaf just plain WORKS. Basil and tomato are classically summer flavors, but you can side step that little detail by grabbing some frozen…

Strawberry Balsamic Burger Salad
Who’s stoked on summer?!?! OH MEE! ME ME ME! I’m over here working on my summer bod… and by that I mean I’m 3 weeks away from my due date. (teehee) It’s pretty incredible to be coming into a summer season NOT CONCERNED AT ALL about my “bikini body”. In fact, I like my bikini…
Pineapple Teriyaki Patties
There are so many wonderful paleo-friendly and gluten-free products out on the market these days that sometimes I forget how difficult it was when I first started eating gluten-free back in 2008. The options in the stores were pretty limited, restaurants had absolutely NO CLUE what gluten was, and reading labels was misleading and downright confusing. Especially…
Parmesan Sweet Potato Stacks
Quick one for y’all today! It’s a super easy and super yummy side dish that will pair wonderfully with any main entrée. Seriously, this goes great with chicken, fish, beef, lamb, pork… even eggs at breakfast! It’s not strict paleo, but you can always omit the cheese if you aren’t “primal” (paleo plus dairy). Recipe…

I love using local foods in my meals and I especially love supporting the other food makers and artisans in my city. From its humble beginnings at the local farmer’s markets, San Diego’s Bitchin’ Sauce has risen to new heights of success and is currently sold in Whole Foods grocers throughout the country. What is Bitchin’…
Rosemary Sea Salt Burgers with Cranberry Sauce
Oh, you know you’re going to have leftovers next week… This was a very quick weeknight dinner that I whipped up for myself and the hubby. This Perfect Pasture ground beef is absolutely delicious so I wanted to keep the seasoning simple. I also like to take advantage of the great abundance of seasonal…
What I Ate Wednesday
It’s exactly as it sounds. A day of my food. SUUUPER excting. I have a hard time believing that people want to know stuff like this, but when I see other bloggers with posts like this, I am strangely drawn to them. I like checking out what other people eat on any given day. It…
Curry Meatballs with Carrot Noodles
I’ve been loving my morning walks in Dana Point. So much so that I’ve been skipping bootcamp. It that bad?! I say HECK NO! Being outside by the ocean in the early morning hours is super calming but also super energizing. It’s like the perfect way to enter into your day. I’ve been messing around…
Grilled Strip Steak with Roasted Orange and Pistachio Beets
My apologies for being a bit sparse with new recipes. This past week has been FILLED with cooking, but not a whole lot of downtime. I love what I do! It’s so fun being able to feed people and feed them well. This dish works surprisingly well for both warm nights on the patio or…
Stir Fry Beef with Tamari Cashews
A little Asian flair for your weekday. Stir Fry is super simple (aside from all the vegetable slicing). Just throw some oil in a pan, get it nice and hot. Add meat, add veggies, and cook till slightly tender (but the veggies should still be a bit crunchy). Bam. Stir Fry. Stir Fry is like,…
