About Steph

Hi ya’ll, I'm a small-town gal from MA turned writer in the big city, and then a smaller city. Other than that I’m a dreamer, dog lover, park lounger, hot guy checker-outer, food lover, occasional overeater, and proud ‘Cuse alum. This blog is quite necessary. You see, I’m sort of at a point where the sh*t is outweighing the sunshine. This blog is a way to purge pent up frustration about my chronic foot and ankle pain and quest for a diagnosis. It's also where I share my awesome Paleo recipes. Yep, I jumped on the eat-like-a-caveman bandwagon for it's anti-inflammatory benefits, and I'm a big fan. So here's the plan: as I tell you about my life, I'll pull at least one shred of positivity out of even the crappiest situations. Because I want to appreciate all the things that ARE going right, and leave you mildly entertained in the process. Thanks for reading. xoxo, Steph

So many mixed emotions </3 I am sad about GOYA, LaraBar & Cascadian Farms.

As someone who hates to take over-the-counter medication or any types of pills, I really appreciate this haha

Almond Flour Pancakes!!! Paleo food doesn’t have to suck.

Since starting this whole Paleo eating routine as an attempt to minimize my pain, I’ve been able to resist most temptations (well, except for my sister’s bomb-ass chocolate wedding cake…bomb-ass meaning delicious). I’ve quelled most sweet cravings with fruit. But there are just some things cherries can’t fix. I miss my evil refined carbs. My dad is mostly to blame. You see, he doesn’t stop moving for more than 10 minutes throughout the day, so his skinny-self can eat whatever the hell it wants. And for some reason, he always chooses to make a big, delicious stack of gluten-laden pancakes (a major Paleo no-no) and consume them in front of me. Jerk.

So what do we do when faced with culinary adversity? WE ADAPT! After doing a little research, I found this Paleo-friendly almond flour pancake recipe from this site: The Food Lovers Primal Palate

They came out freakin awesome, so I’m sharing it with you.
