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 …
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 …
Meat n' Veggies
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, …

I no longer feel like an underground cult member, looking and longing for my next fix of beef …

As you all know we are raising a paleo family; ultimately hoping to avoid disease and most importantly wanting to pass the gift of health and longevity down to the most important people in out lives, our children. Parenting is the hardest job one will ever have, and yet, parents work hard to do what …
The Fast Fix….
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. …
