Bite-sized strategies to cultivate health
While I often eat paleo meals (grain-free, dairy-free, soy-free, legume-free, etc.), I find that I can handle low-lactose dairy products. I ended up buying a large, Costco portion of feta cheese because in Korea, cheese is incredibly hard to find. When you spot it, you gotta grab it. 🙂 Feta is a perfect compliment to … Continue reading No-Bake Feta Cheesecake Bars
I absolutely love all things lemon! Their citrus bite and beautiful yellow color adds a nice touch to a lot of recipes. They are also incredibly beneficial for our health. Lemons can fight infections with their anti-microbial qualities, can help regulate blood pressure and can get rid of toxins in the body. Research has shown that they even have the … Continue reading Paleo Lovely Lemon Bars
I have way too much fun experimenting with nuts and chocolate...mainly because you can't go wrong with either! 🙂 To satisfy my sweet tooth once again and use some of my extra Mokapot espresso, I created these layered paleo cashew espresso bites.

Luckily, I always have essential paleo baking ingredients … Continue reading Paleo Coconut Carrot Breakfast Muffins

In fact, my boyfriend and I often wander around the local shops in Korea for fun. Date night, anyone? However, with this love for shopping and my addiction to whole, perishable foods, I often find myself … Continue reading Homemade Paleo Indian Curry

When you're an English teacher and a student, you need to find time for dessert. Scratch that, everyone deserves some dessert! So here you go... … Continue reading Healthy Paleo Brownies
It's a lovely summer day here in Korea! It's way too hot for my liking, but I'm loving these beautiful, sunny afternoons. When I think of summer, I think of fruit. There are countless fruit stands all over Korea with reasonably-priced, seasonal beauties. I also know many people who go out berry picking and start to hoard … Continue reading Raspberry Cherry Chia Jam
