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.
Making It Happen
I will admit that I live in a paleo bubble of sorts. As a trainer for Norcal I am surrounded by a huge community of friends who generally all eat paleo too. When Robb Wolf and Nicki Violetti happen to be the folks you work for, that’s just kind of how it is… Which by the way, if …
Ginger Shrimp Salad and Curried Hash
If you haven’t noticed, I LOVE to cook – but sometimes I get stuck in the same old chicken salad rut because it’s easy, and I know we all like it. But today I needed an excuse to be in the kitchen, rather than venturing out into the 105 degree weather so the boys and I got a …
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? …
Grilled Chicken with Walnut Pesto Sauce and Warm Arugula Salad…
Pesto is an amazing sauce; it makes anything taste good from scrambled eggs to salad – so I have been working on a decent paleo version. I think I came up with a pesto recipe, that in my humble opinion is better then most pestos which are laden with parmesean – and it’s super easy to put together. Tonight I grilled some …
Hog Heaven!!
So, here is a recipe for the pork chops we made tonight – a recipe that my oldest son helped me come up with. They were fancy and fun but easy and so so good.
Fresh Salsa – and Everyday Paleo is Going on Vacation!!
If any of ya’ll have noticed that I have been a bit skimpy on my posts this week, well it’s because I’m already in vacation mode. The family and I will be heading off tomorrow to Mexico for a much needed week of rest and relaxation!! So, in the spirit of traveling to Mexico, here is …
Grill It Up – Salmon Two Ways….
I’m so grateful for the warm weather that has finally arrived here in Chico, CA. We sat outside last night to eat our awesome salmon dinner and maybe it was my glass of wine that did it, but I was in a happy yet contemplative mood. While all the craziness in this world often lingers on the periphery of our …
Eating Paleo Gives You Wings
It’s pretty simple, really, I promise… No matter what your sport might be, eating clean will give you that extra umph to make it through. On game day come prepared. The night before you should prepare your sweet potatoes, wash your strawberries, make a giant chicken salad, buy some lunch meat, and pack plenty of water. Eat and …
