My last post focused on a a few things we love about the fall season. It's hard not to love such a beautiful time of year! The change of colors, the holidays, pumpkin spiced everything, and snuggling in front of a warm fire on a cold night. But there's just one teensy, tinsy, aspect of this … Continue reading Thai Green Curry Soup
Pssst...Fall is fast approaching, can you tell? Gyms are empty, cans of pureed pumpkin are scarce, and women everywhere are like, "I just wanna bake. And did you hear the pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks is SO bad for you? Me too. Let's get on Pinterest and make our own." <source> It's a freaking epidemic, guys. … Continue reading Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats
One of the many things I love about summer is the abundance of delicious fruit. In California, summertime brings us apricots, blackberries, nectarines, raspberries, strawberries, and my personal favorite, peaches. Talk about nature's candy - sweet and juicy with a touch of tartness. So when I see peaches lining the produce section of the store, … Continue reading Sweet and Summery Peach Empanadas
Happy Mother's Day! My mother is a wonderful, strong, beautiful and talented woman. She has raised three of her four daughters to adulthood without anyone dying, going crazy, or any serious life threatening injuries to report of, and is doing an equally terrific job with the last teenager, Hannah. Being a mom to a bunch … Continue reading Grain Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
This post is dedicated to two things - Costco and thighs. And by thighs, I mean chicken thighs. But first, let's talk about Costco. The place is amazing, like... <image source> Am I right, or am I right? Once you get hooked, you never go back! Costco is a godsend for stocking up on household … Continue reading Pollo en Salsa de Tomate (Chicken in Tomato Sauce)
Let's talk about food phases. You know, when you discover (or re-discover) a certain type of food, dish, protein, fruit or veggie, that all of a sudden, you just CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF. So you eat it on repeat for weeks until you find your next food obsession, like... Right?! I can't be the … Continue reading Carrot Spice Muffins for Grandma
Happy 2014 friends! As we settle into the new year, I hear a lot of talk about resolutions. "This year, I'm going to eat better and lose x amount of weight!" or "This year, I'm going to do more of this and less of that!" I think it's great to set goals and work … Continue reading Engergizing Breakfast Skillet for a New Year!
Let's talk about Thanksgiving. I'm ready to enjoy a day spent with loved ones, and get down on some turkey. Maybe get a Turkey Day WOD in, pre-festivities. I don't host for the big day, but I always try to bring a dish or two to contribute and further spread the paleo love. This year, I wanted … Continue reading Pecan Crusted Pumpkin Brownie Bars
I've been in bed for the past 34 hours and let me tell you it's been [mostly] glorious. Before we get all judge-y, I had minor gum tissue graft surgery yesterday because my genetics are all screwed up (thanks Mom and Dad!), which has landed me in this position of acceptable laziness. I won't get into … Continue reading Curried Sweet Potato-Apple Soup
This isn't a real recipe post. I mean, it is...but it isn't. I didn't spend hours thinking of the ingredients and flavor combinations. This recipe idea didn't smack me in the face while I was drifting off to sleep, and there's probably a million blogs in Paleo blog land that have featured the same dish. … Continue reading Sweet Chocolate Puddin’
