I love Mexican food. Before paleo, if someone asked me “what is the one food that you could eat everyday for the rest of your life?” I would say “a burrito.” Sadly, once you take out the tortilla, beans, rice and cheese to make it paleo, well… it makes me sad. However, I have grown [Read On]
I’m Asian, so you might be thinking, “she can cook Italian?” Well, I don’t make the “traditional” spaghetti sauce because to be honest, I don’t have 3 hours to create a 100% from scratch marinara sauce. But, I do have to say if you have an hour this “modified beefed up” bolognese sauce is ABSOLUTELY [Read On]
Sundays allow us to have more time to experiment with cooking new things. So for dinner we decided to go all out and try to make our own BBQ sauce to go on our slow cooker pulled pork. The outcome… a “southern” style vinegar/mustard based BBQ sauce that was a little too tangy, vinegary & [Read On]
Besides trying to explain to people what the Paleo Diet is, answering the list of questions, such as “why don’t you eat quinoa when it’s good for you?” has made me realize that besides knowing the diet guidelines, understanding why you’re supposed to eat or not eat certain things is extremely important.

Sometimes when its late and you’re hungry or you’re late in the morning and realize you forgot to go to the grocery store, you have to make do. For any regular Paleo eater, eggs are an easy go to for breakfast, lunch or dinner. But after a while, plain eggs, whether it’s fried, scrambled, poached, [Read On]
Okay, so I meant to post this last week, but between Stagecoach recovery and a bachelorette party last weekend. I don’t think I have many brain cells functioning. I’m so excited because we leave for Cabo next week for a destination wedding that I get to actually be in vs. plan & produce. It’s the [Read On]
So I’m still recovering from the weekend. The Mr. & I went to the Stagecoach Festival in Indio/Coachella Valley over the weekend. For those who don’t know what Stagecoach is, it’s a 3-day country music festival in the dessert. Yes, I’m pretty sure I was one of the 10 Asian girls there, but I love [Read On]
