If you are in need of quick and easy to find Paleo Main Meat dishes, I have some great ones for you for the Fall.  Most of these have been created for Jogo’s Good Eats, and they aren’t really time consuming.  The most time consuming is the Paleo Shepherd’s Pie and Meaty Spaghetti Sauce, dueContinue reading “Day 6: Autumn Meaty Meals (Fish, Poultry, Pork, Beef) all Paleo”

Day 5: How to Make Homemade Almond Milk

Truth be told, I still purchase cow’s milk for my daughters (gasp I know).  I also on occasion drink it myself in the form of a latte, which honestly is quite rare as I prefer an Americano or regular coffee over many special drinks.   A couple months back I was having some away timeContinue reading “Day 5: How to Make Homemade Almond Milk”

Blueberry Tart for Biz

My dear friend Biz has her birthday in April, but blueberry season is in July & August.  Her favorite dessert is blueberry pie.  This year I wanted to specifically make a blueberry tart or pie just for her.  I decided upon a tart as it’s easier to utilize with almond flour.   This is aContinue reading “Blueberry Tart for Biz”

Paleo Zucchini Brownies

Brownies are one of my favorites, because truly, what is there not to like about a cake-like bar that is not a cake and can be cooked in one pan.  I commonly ask people if given the option between the following: chocolate chip cookie, cake or brownie, what would you choose to have once aContinue reading “Paleo Zucchini Brownies”

Vegan Kale Salad with Creamy Spicy Cashew Dressing

For Father’s Day, I prepared a slow roasted pork ribs along with this salad. Nothing quite like giving Ben a hearty Paleo Pork ribs with homemade barbecue sauce. And nothing like me trying to push the veggies on him. His take on most veggies is he eats them because he knows he should, not becauseContinue reading “Vegan Kale Salad with Creamy Spicy Cashew Dressing”

Paleo Chicken Adobo

  Spring is here and I immediately gravitate towards leeks, tarragon, rhubarb and the highly anticipatory light red jewels, which my girls know as strawberries.  Lucky for us, we live in Bellingham and Spring also means colder climates suitable for warm, stew like meals.   With this newness of seasonal availability also comes the everContinue reading “Paleo Chicken Adobo”

Rhubarb Mint & Lime Spritzer

During the quiet hours, while one little is at preschool and the other is upstairs having her “quiet time,” I find myself sipping my second americano for the day.  That second cup helps stave off the afternoon munchies.  Well, unless your protruding belly is squishing your stomach & coffee sounds anything but appealing at 2:00Continue reading “Rhubarb Mint & Lime Spritzer”

Rhubarb-Lime Cardamom with Streusel Muffins

Muffins are simply cake for breakfast.  My senior year of high school, Samantha would pick me up and depending on time, we would drive to a spot in town called Mostly Muffins, because they mostly had muffins there.  I rarely got one, but I salivated over the one with cream cheese frosting.  Like I said,Continue reading “Rhubarb-Lime Cardamom with Streusel Muffins”

Cashew Cardamom Brioche with Orange French Toast: Mother’s Day

It’s the glory of second trimester, while Spring is bountiful with early sunshine & late sunrises whispering of Summer on the move.  While the majority of the nation has seen weeks upon weeks of high temps, it is our little Pacific Northwest corner still bundled, crossing fingers that the sun will stay out long enoughContinue reading “Cashew Cardamom Brioche with Orange French Toast: Mother’s Day”

Fresh Pineapple with Lime Zest & Raw Honey (Easter Recipes)

 

Food hasn’t tasted quite as good these past months, which is a bummer since I live by the mantra, “I live to eat!”  Truly, I love to eat.  I love food.  One of the reasons I love my gym is because I’m surrounded by my people (those that don’t shy away from eating).  But, what does a pregnant woman do when eating fluctuates, taste buds diminish and then Lent pops up?  

Take comfort that this too shall pass and hope by the time Spring arrives, the taste bud glory will return.  I’m beginning to see this, especially after slicing the fresh pineapple with my oldest hovering for a taste.  The girls complain that I put the lime zest, but I assure them that honey drizzled over it will make it come alive.  Our lunch consisted of Roasted Mustard Cauliflower, deviled eggs & this naturally sweet delight.  We agreed the pineapple won the gold.
