I first met Pasturebird on Instagram, where I ogled their photos of glossy chickens basking in the sunlight, ranch dogs frolicking in the pasture, and weathered cowboy hats propped on pick-up truck dashboards. Were these stock photos? I wondered. In this cynical age of constant misleading marketing claims made by food brands, this glimpse of a pastoral idyll seemed too good to be true. La[...]
We need to talk about pea milk. Because a new non-dairy milk substitute made from yellow peas hit the grocery store shelves 15 days ago and while I didn't sit down this morning with the intention of writing a pea milk review before day's end, the product piqued my interest so much when it crossed my radar that I researched it and taste-tested it myself as soon as possible. Alth[...]
Unless you have been living in a cave, you've heard of the health benefits of turmeric. Turmeric (a flavorful, medicinal root that gives Indian curries their warm yellow color) has been associated with anti-inflammation and cancer-fighting effects, and luckily I think it's delicious in all kind of foods. I even have a turmeric scone recipe that is one of my favorites![...]
I started Fresh Planet Flavor back in 2012, in a few months it'll be this blog's third birthday! (Check out my very first post if you're in need of a chuckle... there's some seriously amateur photography). Hard to believe but in all that time, I've never successfully completed a Whole 30. What's a Whole 30? It's 30 days of fully-compliant paleo: just meat, vegetables, fruit and nuts.[...]
Sweet potato tater tots? Until this past weekend, I hadn't had tater tots of any kind since... I don't know when. I certainly had never contemplated making them myself! But along came a recipe for Sweet Potato Tater Tots by Ciarra of Popular Paleo in her new Frugal Paleo cookbook that looked too good to pass up. It's a sad reality that taking control of your health and switching to a nu[...]
Presenting a delicious, chewy, crackly paleo pizza crust from my friend Caitlin Weeks' book Mediterranean Paleo Cooking which launched this week! I've been seeing mouthwatering sneak peeks of this book for so long that I can hardly believe the time is finally here. This is an amazingly beautiful, thorough cookbook with over 150 Mediterranean-influenced recipes that work w[...]
The star of this Fruity Breakfast Pizza with Granola Crust is Paleo Scavenger granola! I "met" Brittany of Paleo Scavenger on Instagram and my interested was piqued: I've made my own Paleo granola and while the results are utterly delicious, there's nothing like the convenience of spooning it from bag to bowl and enjoying in minutes! I reached out to the Paleo Scavenger co-founders Bri[...]
Here's what you should know about me: I can't follow recipes. To me more accurate... I don't. For years--ever since I began eating Paleo and creating my own recipes for this blog--I've flipped through cookbooks, scanned recipes online, listened attentively when folks described how to make a particular dish and then gone my own way! It hasn't turned out so badly, has it? But when Simone of[...]
Green Kitchen Stories is an utterly gorgeous blog. Its food philosophy is technically vegetarian, which may seem like an odd fit given my (avidly) omnivorous preferences, but the creators David and Luise have crafted a site full of unusual recipes highlighted by beautifully-composed images full of visual drama. Some of my favorites posts include the Green Breakfast Bowl, Warm Autumn[...]
