Tis’ The Season for all things sweets, parties and baked goods.
Part of sticking with something is being prepared for any situation. That means bringing your own paleo goodies to parties and finding recipes you love that satisfy your holiday sweet tooth.
Here are a few of my favorite Holiday recipes from the last 6 years. These are my go-to treats and are always a hit among clean eaters and that uncle that only comes for the desserts.
Merry Christmas from my kitchen to yours!
Primal Palates Gingerbread Cookies
I remember when I was little my mom would make “Fancy dinners”. We’d often find some sort of layered dessert in the fridge for later. Hers were often pudding cups or jello treats, but we loved them and I always thought they were so cool. …
Warm Pumpkin spice bars are one of my favorite Autumn treats to whip up for my family. We had our favorite pumpkin recipes from Paleo Magazine. This year, I have been focusing on vegan recipes because I have so many friends who avoid dairy …
I don’t know if it is just my own community and social media, but I have seen an uptick in people eating Vegan. A few friends attribute it to the recent Netflix Documentary, What The Health, while others are just playing with their diet to cure a health concern.
My initial reaction to ditching meat is summed up in this photo:
Recently, I met a women who had been Vegan for a year. She said to me, “I know you are Paleo, so we are the exact opposite.” I can’t say this offended me, but it did give me something to think about.
It’s no surprise when people tell me that they are trying to eat better, but don’t know where to start! Google clean eating and you’ll get a massive amount of options.
The search can be overwhelming and drive people to just sit and cry into their pint of ice cream instead.
Little did the women I met earlier know, I was already 5 days into my vegetarian journey! After hosting clean eating challenges every month, I decided that this month, I’d create some vegan and vegetarian meal plans to challenge myself.
I told myself to give it 7 full days and then I could quit. I completed 2 full weeks!
If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that I have been Paleo for almost 6 years. I won’t go into details of my journey, but you can read it here on Marks Daily Apple.
I feel that too often, we find a diet or a belief and we dive in without doing our own research. I didn’t want to follow something blindly! With that said, we as humans, tend to shut out other opinions when we believe we already have the right answers. I didn’t want to be one of those close minded people either.
So this month, I decided to launch my 14 day group and challenge my diet by going totally Vegetarian. I let up on my paleo lifestyle a little. While I maintained 100% gluten- free and soy free, I wasn’t as strict in all areas.
Paleo to Vegetarian, What Did I Learn?
After doing a ton of research on Vegetarian diets, I decided that Dr. Hyman’s article resonated with me more than any other article I’ve read about food. I absolutely love his vision of food freedom and balancing our diets. More plants is the way to go!
I got asked if I was going to try full Vegan next, I am not sure thats on the menu right now but I am not against it. I love finding what works for me and I love trying new things. Will you give Vegetarian a try? What scares you about trying new diets? How can I help?

I have been so busy these past few months! Nursing my baby girl constantly (SERIOUSLY.. she eats ALL the time, every 40-90 minutes all day and night long) She hates sleeping too so it is everything I can do to cook for my family, …
Tis the Season to eat sweets? If you are anything like me, your days are filled with obstacles of chocolate, cookies, brownies, candy and Christmas baked goods. When I was a teacher, the lounge was totally off limits for me.
I make my own baked goods that I can take with me in case I feel the creeping of a sweet tooth.
