Paleo Pizza Quiche Recipe

By 2 Comments

Do you miss pizza? I’m not going to lie, I do! If you miss pizza, I now have 3 options: my cauliflower crust recipe, my grain-free tapioca crust, or now a Paleo Pizza Quiche Recipe. Thank you, thank you to The Spunky Coconut for this amazing recipe. Although these are my original images, this recipe can be found on Kelly’s blog!

My favorite part about this recipe is that it’s completely Paleo without modifications. The “crust” is made from sweet potatoes; WOAH, right? They create a great texture and flavor that complement the quiche. Then top it with your favorite pizza toppings! I only used sautéed onions, but feel free to get creative here (olives, sausage, ham, bacon, pepperoni, pineapple, etc!) Lastly, add the sundried tomato, egg combo. [full recipe here]….

Paleo Egg Salad Recipe

By 34 Comments

Although I prep my food frequently and prefer to eat at home, sometimes I enjoy eating a meal away from home. We all like going out to eat now and then, right? Well my idea of “out to eat” is sometimes just at Whole Foods salad bar. I fill my bowl with fresh lettuce, hard boiled eggs, onions and bacon. So like any foodie, I wanted to make this simple idea at home, and this recipe was born!

This salad is basically hard boiled eggs, red onions, bacon, and a Paleo mayonnaise to bind it. It’s super college-friendly, cheap, and great for prep-ahead. I like making recipes like these on Sunday and then having them for easy meals all week. During school, this salad comes in handy for a filling lunch.

Motivational Monday: Healthier, Happier Days

By Leave a Comment

On a week like this week, also known as final exam week, I actually had to dig deep for motivation to blog. All of my energy is currently channeling towards microbes and organic chemistry, but somehow this post is being written. I’ve found myself scheduling out every hour up until finals are over, and one hour was blocked out for Bravo For Paleo.

When my to-do list is never ending and my days are nonstop, I am thankful my body runs on real food. When times are stressful, we can sometimes turn to stressful eating. When I used to eat unhealthy food, stressful nights ended with a box of Cheerio’s sitting next to me (which I ate by the handful). The next day didn’t feel so great, and the cravings came again, even when the stress was gone. Now my relationship with food is dramatically different.

If you can’t find motivation to eat healthier, think about this one important aspect. Your day-to-day life will be easier, and you will feel better. For me this is one of the biggest reasons to live a Paleo lifestyle. I’m happier, more energized, and food is now fuel, not comfort.
