Easy Steak Fajita Lettuce Wraps

August 26, 2015

These Easy Steak Fajita Lettuce Wraps are a super easy low-carb dinner recipe that’s ready in minutes and only requires a few simple ingredients.

I try not to be too much of a diva in my everyday life, but I have one confession to make …

My name is Jordan, and I’m a birthday diva.

I’ve always loved birthdays, but I especially love my own. It’s the only time of year I can get all my friends in one place to help me celebrate! Oh, and cake.

So for this reason I treat the entire month of August as an excuse to splurge on countless birthday gifts to myself. I’m a walking example of “treat yo’self” this month. My wallet might not like it, but birthdays only come once a year, okay? So Friday get here quick!

Slow Cooker Paleo Mexican Breakfast Casserole

July 20, 2015

This Slow Cooker Paleo Mexican Breakfast Casserole is a make-ahead paleo breakfast recipe that couldn’t be easier!

Being stung by a bee hurts.

Being stung by a bee when you’re in the presence of someone you’re trying to impress, and therefore can’t scream and cry like you want to …. is even worse.

I have successfully avoided those flying bundles of terror since I was probably 10 years old, and being stung again reminded me why they cause grown women to run and scream at concerts when one is spotted.

Parents – do not underestimate the pain your child endures if stung by these vicious creatures. The pain lasts all day and it’s not mild.

Luckily, nothing takes your mind off the fact that your arm looks diseased like a delicious paleo breakfast casserole!
