First off – some exciting news – I am writing a book which is scheduled to be released hopefully in February!! The book will of course include recipes as well as advice for paleo beginners and diehards alike. Look forward to information on how to get started, how to stay on track, how to shop, …
Steak, Sauce and other stuff…
Sometimes when life won’t settle down, it’s important to etch out time for things that nurture us. For me, my sanctuary is time spent with my husband, and as much as I love my kids and the hours spent caring for them, I equally love alone time with John – and I need it to …
Giant Stuffed Mushrooms
I posted a stuffed mushroom recipe back in December but I will be the first to admit, that this one is soooo much tastier! Although a bit more complicated then my previous recipe, it’s well worth the extra effort and overall, is still not that difficult to make. My family had a blast making these …
Quick Curry Soup
I made this soup in a pinch for lunch the other day when I was down to my last couple pounds of ground beef and a few cans of coconut milk. Some of my favorite dishes evolve out of the meager offerings of what’s left in the fridge!
Italian Rib Eye with Sun Dried Tomato Topping
This recipe sounds much more complicated than it actually is and I must say it’s pretty darn scrumptious… Italian Rib Eye 4 big rib eye steaks 1 1/2 cups olive oil the juice from 1 meyer lemon 1 tbsp basil 1 tbsp oregano ground black pepper to taste sea salt to taste Mix all marinade …
Dry Rub Burgers and Sweet Potato Rounds

Spicy Speedy Stuffed Peppers and Pressure Cooked Artichokes
I love stuffed bell peppers and I often make them in the crock pot but this is another way I make them that is fast and relatively easy to do. I also made artichokes in my pressure cooker – which I recommend for all of you busy paleo cooks our there, because a pressure cooker, I simply couldn’t …
Tangy Salad Dressing/Marinade and yes… More Meatballs!!
The following recipe is a tangy tasty salad dressing but could also be great as a marinade for chicken or fish. Also you will find another meatball recipe. This one is so quick and easy and I even made a fast sauce that the kids really liked over their meatballs.
Garlic Beef Stew and Savory Cauliflower Mash
It’s been raining like crazy and cold here in Chico, so what’s better to warm up the body and soul than some stew. This recipe is almost too easy – total comfort food AND it’s super diverse. Here is the basic recipe but I say add whatever you want and I bet it will be even better! Oh, and I’m mildly …
Beef, Dinner, Food, Recipes, Vegetables
Sirloin Dijon and Brussel Sprouts
This dish reminded me of beef stroganoff, but better!! I did use some heavy whipping cream so if you want to stay away from the dairy component in this dish, I would substitute with chicken broth and add more mustard to make it a bit tangier rather then creamy.
