This week in my CSA box from the farm co-op I belong to I received a TON (well about 2 lbs actually) of collard greens. I also happened to have a giant ham hock in my freezer – the last remaining piece of the recent 1/2 a hog that we purchased from our favorite local …
Can You Say – Sandwich???
I had some left over Spice Rub Slow Cooked Chicken so I made myself a sandwich out of the leftovers for lunch today. No, I’m not kidding, and no I haven’t fallen straight off the paleo wagon back to my old Subway days, but yes – I made a big ol’ sandwich and shared it …
Baa Baa Breakfast
I have had a few people comment about breakfast options that do not include eggs. I know some folks never get tired of eating eggs, I being one, but I do think it’s important to have a lot of variety in our paleo diets. With that being said, here are some suggestions to scramble things …
Puerto Rican Beef
I was raised by a health nut, foodie mother who was as adventurous in life as she was in the kitchen. My mom spent several summers in Mexico learning to speak Spanish, and coincidentally helped to fuel my love for the flavors! Years later, I marry John – who’s father comes from Spanish decent and …

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. …
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 …
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 …
Stuffed Avocados
Today I stuffed some avocados with a yummy paleo tuna salad for a change from our usual canned salmon
