Paleo-Friendly Meals: Spaghetti Squash
Dear Pasta,
Why are you so delicious? There’s something so lovely about a giant bowl of spaghetti and meatballs that melts my heart in a special cheesy melty way. Despite your deliciousness, I know that you make me fat and lethargic – not to mention a stomach ache. You’re one of the first things I missed when I went Paleo. But I must admit, pasta m’dear, that I’ve found someone new. It’ll never be as delicious as you, but I know in the long run we’ll be much better together. It’s name? Oh, let’s not let this get ugly.

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Cauliflower and Celery Root Soup
Happy Wednesday! Hopefully your week is going as well as mine! We are officially in the transition from fall to winter and the best remedy for chilly feet and cold hands is a decadent bowl of soup! I could eat soup all year round, but there is something so satisfying about curling up with a soft blanket and having soup from a fancy little bowl.
This recipe is one of my new favorites. Not only is it Paleo friendly, but it is gluten-free and dairy-free! It’s quick and easy too! (more…)
Happy Veteran’s Day!
To all of those who have served or are serving our country – thank you.
To those who have supported these brave men and women in uniform – the wives, husbands, partners, parents, families, and friends – thank you.
Show some love today and pay it forward. It’s the American thing to do 🙂
Aloha!

Epcot’s 2013 Food & Wine Festival – A review in pictures!
Oh Disney World, I love you so. You house the most fantastic mother-daughter vacations EVER and that’s why we keep coming back every year – sometimes bi-yearly! – for more. Typically, my mother and I visit Orlando in January-February and/or August-September for our girls only trip(s). This year, because I am out of school and actually have flexible vacation days, we decided to hop on down to Orlando in the end of October to beat the crowds and indulge my love of Halloween 🙂
