Just a quick suggestion of what to do with the last of your leftover coffee (if you ever have it!): I really love iced coffee so I make these coffee ice cubes to chill it down without watering it down. I used silicone molds because they’re easy to remove but you could use any type … Continue reading »

Mexican Hot Chocolate
Today is the 5th anniversary of my 29th birthday, so I’m kicking up my heels a bit with this Paleo version of a classic favorite. Now, before you go all, “But what about your philosophy of not Paleo-ifying treats?!” rebuttal, let me assure you: this one is completely sugar free and is meant to be … Continue reading »

Needless to say, I never went down that road again. But…right around Labor … Continue reading »

Picture this: sitting on a balcony overlooking Dream Beach and the picturesque Pacific Ocean from the terrace of an amazing Balinese hotel. I can feel the breeze and see the waves crashing as we take a break from pedaling around the island of Nusa Lembongan on our bikes by sipping on delicious glasses of cold … Continue reading »
