I have an on going nightly discussion with my 15 year old that goes something like this. “Hey mom, what’s for dinner?” Me, “I don’t know, probably meat and veggies?” My 15 year old, “Duh, I’m not sure why I even ask?” And then we both laugh. Eating paleo is just that, meat and veggies, …
Holy Cow – People are Listening!!
I am feeling optimistic, I feel as if People Are Listening!! I can go into Raley’s, Trader Joe’s, and now Costco and find various offerings of grass fed beef, free range bison, and free range organic chicken! I no longer feel like an underground cult member, looking and longing for my next fix of beef …
School Lunch and a Trader Joe’s Find
I have had a couple requests for more school lunch ideas. I posted one on my Facebook page a few weeks ago, which I have also added to this post, along with another picture of a common school lunch for my boys. I also had a blog reader email me about a pre-seasoned salmon that …

Stuffed Eggplant and Crispy Baked Okra
Ever wonder what the heck to do with okra? I personally do not like the slimy stuff unless it’s well, you know, breaded and fried… With that not being an option I have just avoided the vegetable altogether until my friend at Norcal, Katie D. advised me how to make it and now I have …
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. …

First off – some exciting news – I am writing a book which is scheduled to be released hopefully in February!! The book will of course include recipes as well as advice for paleo beginners and diehards alike. Look forward to information on how to get started, how to stay on track, how to shop, …
Ratatouille!!
Yes, this meal was Disney inspired… Ratatouille was playing on TV a few weeks ago and my 6 year old asked me if WE could ever make Ratatouille. Now to get off track a bit, I must mention that I recently signed up with a local farmers cooperative here in Chico called GRUB. Every Wednesday …
Chicken Paleo Piccata…
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 …
