A day in the life of Jordan includes a bus, a train, another bus, work, another bus, one more train, and yet another bus. Since I leave my apartment at 6:10 a.m. and get home at 6:35 p.m. every night, I’m usually lucky if I have the energy to throw a turkey burger on the …

Is it just me, or have stuffed peppers recipes been everywhere lately? I had never had the classic stuffed pepper until my step mom made them the other week and filled them with rice and ground beef. Needless to say, I dug it. But since I can’t do anything like a normal person would, I …
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 …
This week’s mantra: Just Think Spring. Raise your hand if you’re sick of winter. *Jordan raises both hands* I’ll save you from all my wintery gripes and get to the point of this post: SWEET POTATO SALAD. This colorful potato salad is shockingly delicious. I don’t even like potato salad, and I especially don’t care …
Spoiler alert: I’m a genius. Okay fine, maybe I’m not the genius, but whoever thought of this definitely is. I’ve seen recipes for barbecue pulled chicken stuffed sweet potatoes floating around and always wanted to give them a try. I mean, I like BBQ chicken and I like sweet potatoes, so why not stuff them together and …
There comes a point in your paleo diet when you’re eating a lunch of six microwaved turkey meatballs and you begin to think that the whole thing is totally not normal and no human should ever consume this much meat in a short amount of time. Well, maybe that was just me yesterday. Eating this way is a lot …
I’ve recently been a tad bit weird about red meat. Perhaps it’s because my grandpa is a farmer, so we had an extra refrigerator just for those white packages of red meat that would be cooked into tacos and burgers and beef stroganoff and anything else you could imagine. Although I was a young adolescent …
In exactly 15 days I will be cruising to the Western Carribean, and considering temperatures are well below zero here in good old Chicago, to say I’m excited is a vast understatement. Now of course I’m an advocate of having a healthy lifestyle all year long, but sometimes a girl just needs to go on …
