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. …

My family took a road trip this weekend and although family trips are fun, anyone with kids can attest that hungry travelers will be grumpy travelers so packing food to go is essential! Ideas for travel foods include:
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, …

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 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 …
Simple and Seasonal
Our ancestors ate what was available based upon the seasons and in my part of the world the summer season is the most bountiful and wonderful time to take advantage of what’s growing near you.
