I grew up eating these delicious, sticky, caramelized squares of graham cracker crumbs, condensed milk, chocolate and hearty sweetened coconut. When I picked up some coconut condensed milk at the store on a whim (ie: in the sale section!), I knew I had to make a version I could safely eat. I've been eyeing out … Continue reading Paleo Magic Cookie Bars

Hitting that quarter century! 25, happy and full. <3
I honestly cannot believe I'm already 25!! There are so many milestones you hope to have accomplished at your quarter century mark and it's definitely a time of reflection. Although, I think I've done pretty well.... While discovering my love for food and nutrition later in life and still being in the process of getting my Masters … Continue reading Hitting that quarter century! 25, happy and full. ❤
How do you snack?
When I first started eliminating foods and introducing more wholesome, nutritious meals into my diet, I struggled with the constant questioning. "Oh, why aren't you eating?" "Can't you have that?" "Oh come on, it's so good. Just one bite." For people who don't struggle with food intolerances and/or autoimmune diseases, slight slip-ups are totally normal … Continue reading How do you snack?
Smoothie Season
It's finally here! My favorite season of all. I'm a freckly-pale, kinda-ginger, so the frigid cold makes me shiver and the summer heat turns me into a cherry. Spring is the perfect balance. I also LOVE being able to enjoy my morning smoothies without freezing on the way to school. Store-bought smoothie bowls can often … Continue reading Smoothie Season
No-Bake Feta Cheesecake Bars
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
Cashew Espresso 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. I love layers because of the varied textures and flavors. Because let's be honest, when you can have 3 desserts in 1, life is … Continue reading Cashew Espresso Bars
Homemade Paleo Indian Curry
I LOVE grocery shopping! It's one of my past-times...looking for good deals, scouring the produce, stocking up on nuts. 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
Healthy Paleo Brownies
After a night of intense studying, I passed my Biology test! I'm in the process of finishing off some pre-requisite courses needed for a Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine...my dream! 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
