Paleo-Friendly Meals: Individual Meatloaf

I think I have a meatball addiction. Anything shaped and cooked into a little golf-ball sized sphere of meat makes me happy. So to break the cycle, I give you individual meatloaf. Yes, it is meatball like, but not round! So there, I win. Read on for the recipe. DSCF1356 (more…)

The Pioneer Woman has some of my all time favorite recipes! One particular favorite is Penne a la Betsy and oh, did I miss that loveliness once I went Paleo. The good news? I tested this out with spaghetti squash and it’s just as delicious! Read on for the recipe! DSCF1392 (more…)

Not-Even-Close-to-Paleo-Friendly Meals: Chocolate Pecan Pretzel Bites

There’s not much to this recipe at all. It’s more of a quick dessert/gift/project to make when you need sometime sweet and not even close to Paleo-friendly! Arrange them nicely on a platter or put them in clear gift bags with a pretty ribbon! It’s that easy! 006What you need:

  • Bag of square pretzels
  • A few rolls of Rolos
  • Bag of halved pecans
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

What you need to do:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet
  • Place one Rolo on each pretzel
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, or until Rolos are soft and melty. Don’t leave them in the oven too long or they will turn into something mushy and scary.
  • Push a pecan into each Rolo
  • Let cool, then serve!

You’re welcome 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and ALOHA!

My December – A Review in Pictures

Sorry I’ve been so absent lately, but December has come and gone like a whirlwind of insanity. Between shopping, decorating, wrapping, cooking, visiting family, and trying to make the most of my off time – I got lost in the busyness of the season and it ended too soon. So to bring you up to speed on my December, here’s a short review in pictures 🙂
