I have had a couple requests for more school lunch ideas. I posted one on my Facebook page a few weeks ago, which I have also added to this post, along with another picture of a common school lunch for my boys. I also had a blog reader email me about a pre-seasoned salmon that …
Cooking Demo – Breakfast Paleo Pizza
We did it – our very first cooking demo! Please take a look and let me know what you think. I know what we need to do differently next time but I also want your feedback as well. Next time we’ll try to get more shots of the actual food! Enjoy!
The Fast Fix….
Over the years I have humbly learned a couple things about making paleo work for a family. One big lesson is accepting that in order to eat paleo, you simply have to cook. Another big realization: Even when it feels as if there is no time left in the day, the reality is that a …
Stuffed Eggplant and Crispy Baked Okra
Ever wonder what the heck to do with okra? I personally do not like the slimy stuff unless it’s well, you know, breaded and fried… With that not being an option I have just avoided the vegetable altogether until my friend at Norcal, Katie D. advised me how to make it and now I have …
News, My Kid vs. the Food Pyramid, Easy Steak Skewers and Avocado Dressing
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, …
Better Butter Chicken…..
We are big fans of Indian cuisine, but I will admit, I have always been a bit frightened of trying to make any of our favorite dishes. The flavors of India are pretty complex, and a lot can go into making a dish just right and I simply don’t have that kind of time. Well, …
Ratatouille!!
Yes, this meal was Disney inspired… Ratatouille was playing on TV a few weeks ago and my 6 year old asked me if WE could ever make Ratatouille. Now to get off track a bit, I must mention that I recently signed up with a local farmers cooperative here in Chico called GRUB. Every Wednesday …
Everyday Paleo Pizza
Last year a trainer friend of mine at Norcal turned me on to paleo pizza made with almond meal crust. Although I like this pizza and the crust works, I wanted to find a way to make the crust DELICIOUS, rather than just a vessel for the pizza toppings. With a few tweaks to the …
Chicken Paleo Piccata…
Chicken Piccata is simple and succulent but typically this dish calls for the chicken to be dredged in flour before being tossed into the frying pan. I decided to try to make this dish without, of course, the usual flour dredging and I dressed it up with some savory garlic and green onions in addition …
Kids Picks and Pot Roast
Maybe a few of you can relate, but it could be that I am just extraordinarily weak, but a secret about me: If I happen to have – oh I don’t know, something like chocolate ice cream in my house – I will eat it every time I set my eyes on it until it’s gone. Why? …
