Grilled Blueberry Pork Chops

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone had a fabulous week.  The peak of my week was probably this gorgeous pork chop that we made on the grill.  Our meals can get very repetitive sometimes, especially in the summer when all we want to do is grill!

So I set out on the world wide web in a quest for some grilling inspiration.  Not surprising that I landed on PaleOMG.  I stumbled upon one of her older recipes for Blackberry Glazed Grilled Pork Chops.  These babies looked so delicious I had to try!

I had a ton of blueberries in my fridge so decided to change it up a bit.  I also cut her recipe in half because I would only top one of the chops with the blueberry glaze since  someone else is a little picky. Continue reading →

What I Ate Wednesday #1

Hi Friends!  Happy hump day!  Since joining the blog-o-sphere back in August of 2013, I’ve always enjoyed reading Jenn’s WIAW link up posts.  Jenn is the awesome blogger behind Peas and Crayons and brings tons of food bloggers together every Wednesday to share what they have been putting in their mouths. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to join, but here is my first What I Ate Wednesday! photo 1 (27)

For breakfast I grabbed a grande iced coffee from Starbucks.  I’ve been drinking it black lately, but today I added some Almond Milk that my work so kindly has in the fridge.  I brought in fresh blueberries that I got over the weekend and drizzled them with some of my homemade maple almond butter.  I threw it in the microwave for about 15 seconds…more like dessert if you ask me! photo 3 (27) Continue reading →

How To Make Homemade Paleo Beef Jerky

So there’s definitely been a sort of jerky craze going on in my world lately. Andy and I started playing around with making our own back in January when I was doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox.

Then all of the sudden I started noticing more and more jerky companies in the stores and it seemed everyone around me was making it too! So I’ve basically been trying a ton of jerky over the past 6 months…and will say I like ours the best!

Since more and more people have been asking how the heck we make this healthy, great for paleo snacking jerky, I thought I’d share our method.

We started out doing it in the oven. Yup that’s right you can do it right in your very own oven! In our new house we have a gas stove and I just wasn’t comfortable leaving it on for an extended period of time so we bought a dehydrator.
