Kirst's post yesterday about faking fall was so spot on. In case you're new here (or have just forgotten), Kirst lives on a tropical island and I (Jord) live in the Middle East, so fall isn't much of a "thing" either of us get to partake in. We totally compensate for the lack of changing leaves and …

chocolate coconut “mounds” cake
Ok, so I am sure you have noticed that Kirst and I kind of have a thing for coconut. I mean, we really love coconut. Even more, we die for the coconut plus chocolate combo. The best combo in the world, if you ask me (or Kirst). Well, luckily a friend of mine requested the coconut + chocolate combo …
lentil soup with arabic spices
Guys, do you love soup as much as I do? I love love love soup, and my girls loves soup. My husband...he tolerates it. Me and the girls could eat this soup by itself for dinner once a week, but per the hubs request I usually serve it with grilled cheese, or as a side. OR sometimes I skip the final …
pumpkin pie ‘harvest popcorn’
Even though the weather here is still in the high 90's, we try to make things feel as "fallish" as possible. We start burning fall candles, we decorate with fall leaves and pumpkins, we watch football, and we make this popcorn. A friend shared it with me a couple years ago and we make it all the …
citrus iced white tea
Hi friends! I'm not gonna lie, as I look at pinterest, and friend's facebook pages, I am getting pretty jealous. It seems like fall is pretty near and things like pumpkin spiced lattes, football, and chilly weather are very close. This is the hardest season for me to live in a hot place because I …
more juice!

kale salad with tart cherries and pine nuts
I kind of can't believe I haven't shared this salad with y'all yet. Given my affinity for kale salads. And tart cherries (I loooooooove them, y'all). And pine nuts. And goat cheese. Seriously, it's like a Kirstin's Favorite Things salad grand slam. This salad not a Whole30 compliant (because of …
fish tacos with mango salsa
This is another really good fish recipe for non-fish lovers. The mango salsa really makes the dish, so don't forget to make that as well! Also, I have had several people ask how to get corn tortillas not to crack and break. The secret is: buy good fresh corn tortillas from a mexican restaurant or a …
paleo ranch with fresh herbs
I will be honest. I first made this ranch dip just so Adam would try the Whole30 mayonnaise that I made. But then it was so good that we just keep making it. Even better, Burke always requests the "Special Ranch" with veggies (or sweet potato fries if he's feeling lucky) as a playdate snack. It's …
fresh mango salsa
I just love this salsa. It is so easy to throw together and really takes mexican food up a notch. It's actually more like a mango pico de gallo, meaning it is chunky and 100% fresh ingredients, but I promise you'll love it just the same! Fresh Mango Salsa Ingredients: 2 large mangoes (pick …
