Hey everyone, welcome to my very first blog post! I’ve never really blogged before, so I have done a bit of brainstorming over what kinds of things I’d like to share and I have a ton of different ideas that go in all sorts of directions.
One thing that I absolutely love to do is cook. I make predominantly Paleo meals and I love experimenting with how to turn some of my favorite dishes Paleo.

• For everyone who is unfamiliar with what a Paleo diet is:

It eliminates types of food that we would not have been able to eat way back during hunter-gatherering times and is nicknamed the “caveman” diet because of that. It eliminates all dairy, sugar, grains, legumes, and processed meats. All (unprocessed) meats, fruits, veggies, nuts, and oils make up the entire diet. I feel like it is very easy to follow and I love it!

It is Fall in New York City, my absolute favorite season! The temperature is dropping, the leaves are changing colors, and I am finally able to wear jeans, sweaters, boots, and scarves:) Because of how chilly it was this week, I figured that tonight I’d experiment with making a pumpkin chicken curry. It sounds festive and yummy, but also a little weird. I have absolutely no idea how this is going to turn out and I’m feeling a little adventurous, so here goes nothing.
I found a pretty great recipe on pinterest (I get most my meal ideas off of pinterest) and I didn’t need to make any ingredient substitutions because it already was Paleo (save for the rice), but I used coconut oil instead of olive oil and I added an extra tsp of curry powder, just because: http://www.thewickednoodle.com/pumpkin-coconut-curry-chicken/. My uncle grows habanero peppers and he gave a few of them to me, so I diced a half of one up and threw it in for an extra kick:) I lovvvvveeee spicy- the spicier, the better.
It only took around 40 minutes to make and it made my whole apartment smell amazing! I had it with some asian coleslaw I had made the other day, which I admit isn’t the most complimentary of side choices, but it was still pretty good.
Oh! And the curry was ridiculously good. Like, I was surprised at how awesome pumpkin curry is. It’s definitely a recipe I am saving to make again:)
I am most definitely not a photographer, but pictured below is my Pumpkin Chicken Curry:
