Sweet Potato and Chorizo Stuffed Portobellos – A Best Budget Meal

Okay so it’s been a minute since I’ve written anything food related because it’s been a minute since I’ve felt like cooking. Hey, we all have our life gaps, right? I’m actually one of those annoying people that as devastated as my heart is by all things COVID-19, it has also given me the time…

Chowing Down in Chi-Town – Chicago’s Gluten-Free Treats

Where are the recipes?? It’s Fall and prime baking season, but it’s also my busy season, so I’ve been on the road again. This time, I’m in the great and wonderful city of Chicago. The weather is gorgeous, and I am in a great neighborhood. I would normally be eating my way through this city,…

A Taste of Home – Mom’s Pancakes Paleo-Style

I have had many an amazing pancake in my lifetime, but when it comes down to it, nothing can compare to my mother’s pancakes. Actually, my mother’s pancakes are made with her mother’s recipe, but I come from one of those families that everyone uses the same recipe with completely different results. Good thing we’re…

Song for the Roadies

Number one question I get when discussing my food needs is: what do I eat on the road? The answer is whatever I can find. The secret is knowing where to look. For eating out, I start with google to see if I can find any paleo restaurants in the area. I also use UrbanSpoon…

Purple Chicken of Magic and Flavor

Purple chicken. Doesn’t that just sound… gross? I know. I know! But I keep thinking about it as Purple Chicken, and I don’t know what else to call it. Olive Chicken? Mediterranean Chicken? Chicken di Porpora? That would be Italian for Purple Chicken. Actually, Chicken of Purple. So, it’s not the greatest name. I’ll work…

Brunch with The King

I love 60s music. I love muffins. I decided to bring two of my great loves together and make some Elvis muffins. It all started with three bad bananas. When a banana turns to a spotty, smushy mess, that is a bad banana if you want to eat just the banana. But if you can…

Hello Again, San Diego, My Old Friend!

Yet another great trip to San Diego! I love that I can eat almost anywhere here and it’s just such a great, vibrant city. Bonus is that I have some of my wonderful family nearby for visiting and crafty-funtimes. I tend to hang out in the Gaslamp area because it’s near the convention center and…

FLAN-tastic!!

  I have a problem. I am addicted to flan. Not being able to eat most dairy, this is a huge problem because I am a very self-indulgent person. Thankfully, I am also a problem-solver, so I have taken on the task of creating a gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free flan. It’s even loosely paleo! I don’t…

Life in the Big D – for ten days anyway

So where am I this week? I’m hanging out in the Big D – Dallas, TX. It’s been tricky to eat, so it’s a good thing I’ve got good people around me. Good people make for good times. WILD SALSA – I wish I had more thumbs so I could give it more than two…
