If you love pizza, and live in Austin, you’ll want to read this post! A couple weeks ago we were contacted by zpizza, a locally inspired, artisan pizza restaurant who was looking for some Austin based foodies to help taste test some new pizza creations. They told us that all signature style zpizzas are handcrafted, made-to-order, […]

Almond Flour Tortillas

I love tortillas. I use them in place of bread, as a treat topped with almond butter and apples or bananas, or toasted with some ghee and garlic to make a pretty great garlic bread alternative. Paleo living means you get a little creative now and then 🙂 And since I’ve tasted so many kinds, […]

nadamoo_mint_coconut_milk_ice_cream

Austin’s very own NadaMoo! is in the race for VegNews Magazine’s Veggie Awards in the Favorite Vegan Ice Cream Category, and since we’re big fans of theirs, I wanted to share the news. If you haven’t tried Nadamoo! you need to, and if you have you know they’re creamy, not overly sweet and rooted in goodness. They start […]

Paleo Chocolate Chili

In an experiment to get my husband to try the Paleo lifestyle, I picked up copy of Well Fed and left it on the counter. It sat there for a while, untouched. So I decided to make a grocery list using recipes from it, and then asked him for help with one of the meals for […]

I LOVE chocolate. The taste, the health benefits and the way it feels when a rich, delicious piece melts in my mouth and makes the sides of my throat tingle with its deliciousness – so many reasons to love it. But since I follow a paleo diet, I try to avoid sugar, so I had […]

21 Meals With Tons Of Protein And No Meat

Ran across this article for 21 Meals With Tons Of Protein And No Meat on buzz feed and had to share! I’m always looking for ways to add more protein to my diet without eating meat, and some of these look amazing. With at least 18 grams per serving, these meals give vegetarians, and those of us […]

I never thought I’d have a food blog – I wasn’t very impressive in the kitchen and everyone who knows me knows I much prefer to have someone else create something amazing than to try to tackle it myself. But then came 2010 and my body shut down, my brain quit working and getting out of […]

TBWA quote

Sometimes I write about things that have nothing to do with food, but are equally as important to me. This is one of those times. Food is my passion. Advertising is my career. Both are great loves that I’ve dedicated my life to, and help keep me balanced through all the ups and downs I’ve endured. […]

Sometimes I’m lazier than others about making Sunday a food prep day – I’m a ‘Sunday Funday’ kinda girl so I rarely want to spend the day prepping food for the week. Yesterday was one of those days, so I want something quick and easy to prep that would give us some options throughout the […]

cauliflower pizza crust

Yes, it’s possible to be gluten-free and paleo and still love your pizza! Last year I ran across a cauliflower pizza recipe which we tried while my mom in law was in town, and it was a BIG hit! We all loved it, though my only complaint was that it wasn’t sturdy enough to pick up and […]

Check out the recipe here and let me […]
