Apparently my kitchen gets so hot that my coconut oil gets, “liquid-y”…. Along with having a lot of fun with our cooking demos, I am also inventing new words, and if anything, giving my family yet another reason to laugh at me!! In this demo we make Savory Cauliflower Fried Rice, Pork Chops, and my …
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 …
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? …

Tangy Salad Dressing/Marinade and yes… More Meatballs!!
The following recipe is a tangy tasty salad dressing but could also be great as a marinade for chicken or fish. Also you will find another meatball recipe. This one is so quick and easy and I even made a fast sauce that the kids really liked over their meatballs.
Beef, Dinner, Food, Recipes, Vegetables
Sirloin Dijon and Brussel Sprouts
