I love finding easy already prepared sauces that are paleo perfect! I purchased some Curry Simmer Sauce from Trader Joe’s and the ingredients are spot on!! The directions call for adding 1 cup of water per jar. I used two jars and instead of water I added an entire can of coconut milk, some cilantro, …
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have had a few requests to post about Thanksgiving and what we will be preparing. The answer is not a darn thing!! We are visiting my in-laws for the holiday and will have no say in what is prepared, so we will have to pick and choose, and do the best we can. Before …
Almond meal griddle cakes…
Missing pancakes? Look no further!! Almond meal cakes are easy, yummy, and will keep nicely for a few days in the fridge for quick snacking – and kids like them too! Here is my recipe: 2 cups of almond meal, 3 eggs, 1/2 can of coconut milk, a big drizzle of either walnut oil or …
Easy bacon and kid friendly snackin’
So, am I the only one who didn’t realize that you could microwave bacon? Well, in case I was not alone in my naivety, guess what – you can microwave bacon and it’s really good, fast, and easy!! Take your nitrate free all natural bacon, place in strips on a couple of paper towels, cover …
London Broil…

Most of these evenings I have dinner waiting for the boys and Joye, thanks to my …
End of weekend eats, baby handstands, and a Monday of lettuce wraps…
Sunday: Breakfast was leftover steak and eggs. Lunch was salami, pickles, peppers, leftover sweet potatoes, and homemade coleslaw of shredded green cabbage, chopped apple, sunflower seeds, mayo, lemon juice, and pepper. We ran errands all afternoon and ended up at La Salsa before hitting Trader Joe’s. Besides getting crappy food, eating out with Rowan (the …
Finding balance….or not!
A couple of years ago when I started getting serious about this whole Paleo/CrossFit thing, I remember venting to Robb Wolf and I said to him, “You know Robb, I’m just trying to figure out how to achieve some balance in my life.” His response was, “No, I don’t know, because I don’t even know …
Weekend eats…and giant pancakes
So, on Wednesday, during Rowan’s 2 year check up, I was bragging to Rowan’s pediatrician about how healthy we all have been and have somehow avoided being sick, except for the fact that I was in the midst of fighting a cold, and of course when I picked up Jaden two short days later on …
