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 …
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!
