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 …
Shrimp Flying Saucers…
Yes, name is a bit corny, but I swear the tomatoes in Northern California are so freaking huge right now they remind me of flying saucers after I slice them!! So, hence the name. I made this for lunch the other day and Rowan (the 2 year old) ate about half of it, no joke. …
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 …
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 …
My Arugula Obsession…
I am mildly obsessed with arugula so I will hammer my love of arugula home with one and final arugula recipe – for a while anyway. This salad has similar components to my favorite “go to” chicken salad but with the yummy smokey addition of arugula and a few other ingredients.

Sharing is nice…
One of my blog readers shared his favorite recipe with me recently and after giving it a try, and loving it, I thought I would share it with all of you. Thank you so much Collin P., there’s nothing nicer than sharing and especially when it comes to passing on delicious recipes!! So, here it is – …
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!
Stuffed Avocados
Today I stuffed some avocados with a yummy paleo tuna salad for a change from our usual canned salmon
