Alright, we’re switching it up here on the blog today. I say ‘we’ as though I have a whole team behind the screen with me, when in fact, it is only me (with the occasional keyboard lick from my dog). It has been a long-time goal of mine to branch out into more LGBT topics

Oven-Baked Paprika Rutabaga Fries
It feels very, very hot outside. And humid. It’s sticky and gross and any sane person would not have picked today to crank their oven to 400F and make fries. But here we are. On the absolute plus side: these Oven Baked Paprika Rutabaga Fries are so worth it. Literally, there is sweat running down my temple

Paleo vs Keto: Which One Is Healthier?
It feels like everyone I know is on a ketogenic diet. I get it: we’re seeing the crazy weight loss results all over our social feed. And, if they’re not on a ketogenic diet, they’re probably playing with the ever popular Whole 30: a 30 day paleo-inspired weight loss program. Again: I’ve seen lots of

Grain-Free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp {paleo + vegan}
I’ve finally done it: after many, many attempts at making this dessert over the past few years, I think I’ve finally nailed this Grain-free Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.

Blueberry Mint Gin Fizz + Happy Pride Month!
IT’S JUNE. As in summer. As in cocktails on the patio all day, every day. (Kind of kidding–I’m a little tipsy now from, ahem, taste testing.) It’s also PRIDE month! And I am freakin’ pumped. I actually love being queer, and I’ll find a way to drop it into conversation every chance that I get.

Cherry Almond Overnight Oats {vegan}
For the most part, I follow a generally paleo diet. As much as possible I try to make sure my diet is made of plants like leafy greens and root vegetables, clean proteins (like sustainably sourced fish, pastured eggs, and grass-fed beef) and healthy fats like ghee, olive oil, coconut oil and avocados. Most of

Should You Avoid Dairy?
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you momma bears (and pet mamas) out there! Today, I’m writing about something that I’ve personally been grappling with myself. My Struggle With Dairy. A bit of backstory for you: for the last few months, I’ve been dealing with some unexpected (and not-so-delightful symptoms). I’m talking bloating, stomach pain,
