MOVE OVER, CHIPOTLE! These steak burrito bowls will have you excited to skip your usual Chipotle run and dive into these at home instead.
Burrito bowls are in my regular dinner rotation weekly. They're so easy and a sneaky way to get in a lot of vegetables relatively easily. You can load the bowls down with whatever you're feeling that day - peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, jalapenos, cauliflower, etc.
With lots of spices and steak (opt for grass-fed if you can), this bowl doesn't lack flavor. You're going to cook the steak, peppers, and onions in the oven while the cauliflower rice steams in the microwave. It comes ...

Cinnamon Honey Paleo Granola
Your granola days aren't over! In fact, they might just be getting started with this cinnamon honey paleo granola.
This recipe has my mouth watering just thinking of it. The traditional granolas most people think of are definitely not considered paleo with additions such as oats and sugar.
This one eliminates both of those things - using nuts such as pecans, walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, coconut oil, and honey. The cinnamon is a deliciously spicy complement to all of these things.
How this works - you're going to mix all of your "dry" ingredients (minus the raisins) in a big bowl. Give it a good toss to make sure ...

Savory Keto Breakfast Muffins
Muffins are a classic breakfast food. But once you go keto, you may be afraid that muffins are off the table (and, unfortunately, out of your mouth.) Traditional, sugar-laden muffins may be, yes, but not these savory ones we've got for you today.
There's no rule that says that muffins HAVE to be sweet. Yes, a fresh, warm blueberry muffin is a wonderful thing, but there are many different ways to spice up the delicious muffin.
(Need a great recipe for a paleo version of blueberry muffins? We've got you.)
But even those paleo blueberry muffins aren't exactly keto-friendly. So we wanted to give all of our keto friends an option for a ...

Keto Chicken Masala
I kind of hate the question "What's your favorite food?" because it's so hard for me to choose.
I love food - obviously. I made a career out of it. And my love for food runs deep - seriously, like alllll foods.
But sometimes people just want a specific answer. So when I have to get specific with it, I almost always choose Indian.
Indian food is delicious in every way. I love the tangy, spicy, savory, satisfying mix of it all. The smells and the bright colors of the dishes are to die for, in my humble opinion.
But with all that heavy rice and thick sauces, Indian food isn't the most keto-friendly of foods. So if you're an ...

Stovetop Spring Frittata
HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THIS CREATION?! I know I might seem biased since this *is* one of our recipes, but seriously - this stovetop spring frittata is so dang visually appealing.
Frittatas are kind of the jack-of-all-trades of breakfast dishes. What I mean is that you can pretty much throw anything in it and it's going to work.
When I have produce in the fridge that I need to use up, I usually end up cooking it down in some oil and fragrant spices, adding eggs, and frittata-ing it up.
Yeah, I just made frittata a verb.
This particular version features all those amazing vegetables that you'll find at your farmer's market right ...

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Can we all agree that sheet pan dinners are the way to go? This chicken fajita version will make all your Mexican restaurant dreams come true.
And of course - it's all Paleo - so it's even better than going to the Mexican restaurant because you can avoid the chips, queso, and tortillas completely.
I'll be honest with you, tortilla chips are so hard for me to say "no" to when they're in front of me. I love them that much. So if I do find myself at that type of restaurant, I usually just go ahead and tell the waiter not to bring any to my table (if that's cool with whoever I'm eating with...if not, I just practice self-restraint. It's ...

Dark Chocolate Almond Blondies
Decadent, dark, and delicious - all of these adjectives perfectly describe these dark chocolate almond blondies.
If you thought your days of blondies were done, surprise! We've got a 100% paleo recipe for you that will satisfy your craving for this dessert.
And you already know, with the combination of almond butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, and dark chocolate, it's going to be insanely good.
Like I think my mouth just watered typing that out.
Want to take this recipe up another notch? Make your own almond butter! It's way cheaper - and as long as you have a high-quality food processor, blender, or Vitamix, you should be ...

Pesto Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
If there was a mascot for Paleo comfort food, this recipe might just be it.
Let's be honest - pesto is downright delicious. It's fresh, satisfyingly fatty, and oh-so-garlicky. Traditional pesto recipes call for cheese. Fortunately, for all of us reading this blog, we don't *need* cheese to make a delicious pesto.
Since dairy is not considered paleo-friendly, we might not be able to eat pesto out at a restaurant if we follow the paleo guidelines strictly. But we can make a downright delicious version right at home - without the cheese.
Yay!
Our version is as simple as you can get - basil leaves, walnuts, garlic, and olive oil. ...

Paleo Blueberry Muffins
Do you ever get the desire to bake? I'm not the biggest baker in the world, but it will hit me every now and then...especially if I've just been watching The Great British Bake-Off.
Have you watched this series on Netflix yet?
If you haven't, I'm a little jealous because you get to experience the joy of having your eyes opened to the cutest, friendliest, sweet-as-pie baking show on air.
The premise is similar to any other cooking show except for the fact that the contestants and judges have to-die-for accents and everyone is SO. FRIENDLY.
Sure, the stakes are high (everyone is fighting to be crowned Britain's top amateur ...
