Hi! I’m Sloan.
I’m a laid back - taco lover - living in South Florida, but I grew up in Georgia. I’m married to my best friend, Huck. We have the cutest Dorkie you’ve ever seen. I’m a recovering workaholic. I love to travel. My favorite time of year is football season. I spend way too much time and money on our Halloween costumes! I live at the beach, but my heart is in the mountains. I collect coffee mugs while traveling, but I use the same coffee mug every day - A cup I bought in Ireland in 2018. Bad food makes me sad. My husband and I moved to South Florida in 2011. We did not know a single person here when we moved. We got married at a lighthouse and served tacos at our wedding. Feeding people makes me happy. Doing the dishes after... not so much.
Food and Health
I was diagnosed with Psoriasis when I was 18 and Psoriatic Arthritis in 2018. In 2018, I started following a Paleo diet, as recommended by my dermatologist. I saw dramatic results in how my skin looked and how my joints felt after just a few weeks. I do not follow a strict Paleo diet all the time {I’ll never give up a great taco or beer}, but I do eat “Paleo” most of the time when I’m cooking at home.
The Traveling Spice Co. is where I share healthy recipes that I’m making to help control my autoimmune symptoms. I may talk about beer or make a recipe with cheese because they’re good, and life is short, but most of my recipes are Whole30/Paleo, low in sugar, or free of gluten, soy, and dairy. They will all be healthy and made with wholesome ingredients.
No one diet will cure everything for everyone. I believe it’s essential to find what works for you, but I hope you find The Traveling Spice as an excellent resource for recipes for living a healthy lifestyle.
