Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
When I first met my husband he did ALL of his Christmas shopping last minute. I mean, wandering around the mall at 6 PM on Christmas Eve last minute. It drove little-miss-budget-plan-ahead here nuts. Well, this year I find myself doing a little last-minute shopping. Ah well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
If you've waited until the last minute and are feeling a bit of the stress this time of year can bring (and your blood type may or may not currently be coffee like mine) I'm here to help! Here's my list of BEST last-minute gifts for your wife (or mom, sister, BFF, aunt, cousin, neighbor's grandma's step-daughter)...
POPSUGAR Must Have Box
POPSUGAR sent me their Must Have subscription boxes to try out for October, November, and December. I whole-heartedly recommend this! Their subscription box is flawlessly curated and filled with fun surprises every month. You can choose one month, three months, or six months of this fun box and your loved one gets Christmas on and on and on. So much fun. And I have to say for the price they're a steal. SO much great stuff in each and every box. The December box:

If you're ordering online last minute, you just can't beat Amazon, especially if you're a prime member. I KNOW she'll love one of these:
In-Store
OK, if you really want to go out and brave the crowds, more power to you. The one spot I would recommend to finish up that last-minute shopping is Barnes & Noble. I could spend days in there and they really have something for everyone on your list. They have books of course, but also the most beautiful journals, adult coloring books (that means intricate, not naughty...ahem), a great variety of Garmin activity trackers...
...and so much more you may not realize. My kids got Nooks (it's OK, they don't read my blog) and I just know they're going to love them. Plus, you can get Starbucks while you shop (and maybe a cute mug and some Christmas blend...just sayin'). For most women I know, you can't go wrong with a BN gift card if you absolutely can't decide.
OK, who's last minute shopping? What's your favorite place to do it?
