My Healthy Recipes

Happy New Year everyone!!!  Can you believe it is 2015 already? I don't know about you all but last year just flew by.  One minute it was summer and the next its Christmas.  I hope you all said goodbye to 2014 in peace and that you look forward to this new year with excitement.  I am sending you all my best wishes!

And speaking of the New Year, this seems to be the time of year that everyone starts talking about diet and exercise more.  I do not believe in resolutions personally, I just don't like the idea of waiting until a year is up to change a bad habit or make myself better.  But if you are one of those who do better with the resolutions, then I wish you success!  Those of you who know me, know that I am pretty healthy and strict with my diet.  Don't get me wrong, I love me some pizza and burritos.  But my digestive system doesn't always love those things back.  Thus my healthy ways!  I really believe in the Paleo way of life and try my best to eat that way as much as possible.  I mean anything that lets you eat bacon all the time is definitely worth looking into!  The only downside is the lack of bread...which let's be honest we all love.  But that bread and gluten can be very inflammatory and thus better to avoid.  So I have went on the hunt and found me some amazing Paleo recipes that help with all my carb cravings!  And I thought I would share with you all!

First up...Paleo Spaghetti Squah Carbonara.  O.M.G. this might be my new favorite recipe!  We just ate this last night again and it was so so good!  I promise you will not even miss the pasta.

Next up...Paleo French Toast!  That's right kids, you can still enjoy french toast!  First step is the paleo bread.  I have tried a few different recipes and these are my favorite. This one from blogger PaleOMG is a coffee cake recipe so its sweeter and oh so perfect for some syrup.  This one from site 'Against All Grain' is more similar to sandwich bread and can be altered for different nut preferences.  I used sunflower seed butter instead of cashew.  (Side note: when sunflower butter is baked it can turn green so don't be scared.) Then just use your paleo bread and make your french toast like normal.  Its just as good as regular bread!  

And last but not least...for your sweet tooth!  These are my favorite Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies.  They are so easy to make and they don't taste healthy...they taste like delicious cookies!  

Let me know if you try any of these recipes and what you think!  And I promise to share more yummy recipes as I discover them! XOXO
