Healthy Eating + Living
The BLT used to be my most favorite sandwich. I think it was because having bacon as the main protein meant I could get away with eating it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! There is just something about its simplicity and the smokiness of the bacon with the acidity of the tomato that just makes for the perfect bite every time.

I love the Holidays! All the love, kindness, laughter and hugs fill up my heart. Unfortunately, all the rich food and decadent desserts fill out my pants! It also doesn’t help that November kicks off the cold/flu season. So, this year my goal is to still fit (comfortably) in my pants by January and not fall victim to the seasonal cold or flu. This is the perfect Paleo Immune Boosting Soup to boost immunity and keep waistlines in check!

Root vegetables are to fall as asparagus is to spring. And yes, you know a true foodie when their season’s are marked by the changes in produce not the changes in weather. And I know, Brussels Sprouts aren’t root vegetables, but the name of this recipe was so catchy I couldn’t help myself! Forgive me. This Paleo Roasted Root Vegetables recipe is not your typical roasted root vegetable recipe. Yes, there are herbs and rustic knife cuts. But, this method of seasoning makes it so every vegetable is slightly different and totally jazzes up what is typically a one note dish.

What do you do with an abundant amount of garden greens? Especially when you’re the only one that eats them? Bacon. The answer to all the world’s problems. Bacon. This is a simple recipe from my grandma that she taught me and used to get all her kids to eat their greens. Add a little bacon and butter (or coconut oil) and there you go. My family of two (plus dogs) can devour 5 pounds of greens easily in one sitting. Thanks Grandma and of course, Bacon!
