Introduction


I love to cook, eat, bake (occasionally) and try new things. I originally started this blog for school and now I am updating and starting to blog more. I know I have some recipes on my blog that aren't paleo friendly, but I try to eat paleo most days except some days you got to cheat a little. I can't just cut out white potatoes forever! =) 
Now I am really trying to succeed in my new paleo life. I have even cut out the booze, which is difficult especially since I work in a bar while finishing up my last semester of college. I will be receiving my BA in Mass Media emphasis in Public Relations. 
I mostly cook for my family and my mom who has food allergies. When I cook for her I have to start away from yeast, dairy, gluten and refined sugars. So, the paleo diet works well for us but I can't use eggs because she is allergic which is sad. I love eggs! 
I search a lot of recipes and try out many, but I always tweak them for our diet needs. I started eating like this about two years ago. I went to a natural doctor and learned a lot about foods and what worked well with my body. I had to stop consuming gluten, dairy products, bananas and even almonds to list a few. I did this for six weeks and I have never felt better. I am trying this journey again.
