Things I’ve learned since moving out of my parents’ house to a humble apartment in Chicago’s Lincoln Park area: I. Was. Spoiled. Not only was I saving enough money to afford a $200/month crossfit membership, oh no, that’s just the beginning of it. I also had a 15-minute commute to work (now it’s an hour) so …

A month ago, if you would have told me that I could eat nachos while on paleo, I would have told you to get out of town. That was, until I came across a photo of Paleo Nachos on Pinterest and thought … duh, Jordan, nachos can be made clean if you just avoid the cheese and …
BIG NEWS: I have created a Smile Sandwich Instagram account. Instagram is super great because I can easily search Paleo recipes and scroll through thousands of delicious photos.

It’s not often that I eat something at McDonald’s and immediately want to make the copycat version, but when it comes time for a Shammy Shake, I simply can’t resist having one every year. Problem is, those mint shakes are as fattening as they are delicious. So I created this copycat Shamrock Shake recipe … …
So, I was just about to add a different, much less appealing recipe and came across this photo sitting in my media folder. OHHHH! How could I almost forget about this one? It’s a paleo breakfast casserole that’s layered with eggs, sweet potato, turkey sausage and vegetables. And it is amazing. It was my breakfast …
GUYS! I’m moving out! Although I’m beyond excited to move to the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago, this also means that I will be a blogger on a budget. SO, prepare yourself for budget-friendly, super easy, don’t-require-a-ton-of-dishes recipes. 🙂 Which brings me to one of my favorite quick lunch solutions. When you just don’t have time to …
