On Paleo

On my quest for a healthier and more purposeful life, I've decided to try my hand at the paleo diet. I've read a lot about it and so much of it just makes sense with me. I want to find healthy green foods that I like and will eventually crave. I need meat and protein keeps me level and stable. I've gone without meat before but I've found my body is more optimal with it. As someone who has had in-n-out twice a week and pizza at least once, jumping to a diet with no dairy or gluten is drastic. I'm a work in progress. I've been taking it meal by meal and trying to go two full days of paleo with a cheat dinner on the third day. This is by no means close to the 85/15 ratio I'm striving for but it's a step in the right direction for a struggling cheese and bread addict. Have you tried paleo? I'm looking for some tips!

 

Engagement Party!

Last weekend we attended an engagement party for two of our friends who have been dating for ten years! They are seriously so sweet together and I couldn't be more thrilled for them! Our friend Nina throws the most gorgeous get togethers at her house and I knew this party would not disappoint. From bourbon and bacon cookies, to watermelon vodka lemonade, to the best pesto I've had in my life, the food and decor were to die for. Thanks again Nina for hosting, it was beautiful as usual!
