Right now I have an incredible view of East Village, the Coronado Bridge and a fancy new skyscraper as it nears completion. San Diego, you have my heart. This view almost makes me forget how long I circled around the streets looking for parking during this incredibly busy weekend in San Diego. The world-famous Comic…

Spicy Mango Shrimp Salad
I’m in love with this fresh, light, and colorful salad. I don’t cook with fish or shellfish too often, but this dish makes me want to change that PRONTO. Spicy Mango Shrimp Salad 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and de-veined (tail-off) 1 Tbsp. red palm oil or coconut oil 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and diced 1/2 cucumber, peeled…
Kid-Friendly Breakfasts
I remember school mornings being rushed and chaotic… I also remember cereal. Lots and lots of cereal. Honestly, I don’t blame my mom. Cereal is fast, easy, and kids love it. There’s barely any dishes to clean, especially if you’ve taught your little ones to rinse and load a dishwasher. Unfortunately, in these health-conscious times, we…
An Inside Look at The Clean Plate’s Seasonal Cooking Class plus a Recipe!
I had the pleasure of teaching a Paleo and Seasonal Cooking Class to a gorgeous group of women. We talked a lot about autoimmunity, the importance of healthy fats, how to get the best value out of grocery shopping, ingredient alternatives, supplementation, “fad” diets, the “cholesterol myth”, how to make the holidays food healthy AND…

I was looking around for a raw chocolatey dessert since I was at home (no oven) and fortunately stumbled across this recipe on Mind Body Green! They are exceptionally easy and incredibly yummy. I wanted the chocolate coating to act more like…
Tahini Raisin Bars
During a rainy day last week… A Rainy, Rainy Day… … I was in the mood to bake! There was just one problem. I have no oven. So I made some tasty raw bars that have an “oatmeal raisin” kind of flavor. These definitely have that “comfort food” feel to them. Pair with a cup…

I’m certain that many of you are already engaged in your new year’s detox plans. However, I know others are waiting until Monday to start their health-centric plans. So, if you happen to need a perfectly delicious and paleo-friendly treat before you begin the Whole 30 or juice cleanse, make this for the weekend and…
Raw Nutella Bars
The commercials for Ferrero Rocher have always made me laugh. First of all, you have NO IDEA what the commercials are about in the beginning… Is it a car commercial? Alcohol? Perfume?! Nope. It’s a chocolate ball. Secondly, the actors talk about this ball of chocolate like it’s the crowning achievement of civilized humanity. Descriptors…
Minty Chocolate Bites
Today’s post will be short and sweet. My reason for brevity is two-fold: 1. I’ve got a couple of longer posts coming up. 2. I’m about to head out for a surf and the tide waits for no one. Go make these. You’ll be happy. Minty Chocolate Bites 2 c. unsweetened coconut flakes 3/4 c….
