Summer Medley of Sliced Fennel, Beets, Radishes, & Carrots with Orange Vinaigrette
Last summer our family of five traveled to Arizona along the I-5 corridor making a surprise stop in Disneyland. I still remember the thrill in our daughter’s eyes when we woke up in a hotel to reveal our surprise of entering Disneyland that day. After an “let’s cram it all in” sort of day, weContinue reading “Summer Medley of Sliced Fennel, Beets, Radishes, & Carrots with Orange Vinaigrette”
Whole 30 Approved Kale, Apple, & Carrot Salad with Creamy Cashew Dressing
Two fried eggs served alongside buttered toast with their drippy yolks. Just enough salt and pepper atop inviting me for another taste. My first meal after returning home from the hospital with my firstborn. Bean and bacon soup with far too much sodium gingerly biting down. Sitting in my bed watching tv, and being nursedContinue reading “Whole 30 Approved Kale, Apple, & Carrot Salad with Creamy Cashew Dressing”
One Bowl Grain-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
Many, many years ago I baked some peanut butter cookies for my dad. My mom would always make chocolate chip cookies; but, I somehow thought peanut butter was more fitting. Upon eating them he mentions to my mom how peanut butter cookies were his favorite. Much to my mother’s chagrin, as she was always toldContinue reading “One Bowl Grain-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars”
Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy
This post will be short. I made this zucchini brownie bread while I was in Arizona this summer. It’s gluten-free, actually it’s grain-free. In fact, it doesn’t rely on nut flours to bake. I made this and decided the rest should go to my older brother Willy as he couldn’t have gluten. I haveContinue reading “Paleo Zucchini Brownie Bread for Willy”
Grain & Dairy Free Peach-Blueberry Cobbler
It’s still officially summer here, which means the girls have not returned to school, and we are still enjoying the peak of seasonal bounty in the form of blueberries and peaches. I have to say when I see others IG accounts boasting of peaches in early July my heart sings a sad song. That isContinue reading “Grain & Dairy Free Peach-Blueberry Cobbler”
My Favorite Summer Drink: A Thirsty Crow
On our way down to Arizona we were able to spend the night at my oldest & most dearest of friends, Veronica’s (and Alan) house. We have that friendship where you immediately pick up where you left off, and there’s no need to explain family history. It’s refreshing! its so comfortable, I made myself rightContinue reading “My Favorite Summer Drink: A Thirsty Crow”
Easy Peasy Limey Squeezy Carne Asada
If you’re familiar with cuts of a cow; then, you know you are only alloted two flanks in one beef cow. There are so many recipes, which call for a flank. Prior to ever buying our own cow I had never given it much thought. Like most Americans, you simply go to the store andContinue reading “Easy Peasy Limey Squeezy Carne Asada”
Mango-Avocado Salsa Salad
As I stood in my kitchen the other day dreaming up ideas of Whole30 meals, mangos and avocados came to mind. Originally I pictured these long sliced avocados with slices of mango and freshly squeezed lime poured over them with a sprinkling of salt. I wanted to keep it simple. The idea morphed into meContinue reading “Mango-Avocado Salsa Salad”
Roasted Beet-Orange-Fennel & Shallot Salad Which My Seven Year old Loves
I have a love-love relationship for beets. As a child, the only way I could get them was found at the salad bar at a restaurant I affectionately called, “Tom & Tates.” I guess you could call me the oddball kid in the family (perfectly in the middle), who choked down dry lima beans, gladlyContinue reading “Roasted Beet-Orange-Fennel & Shallot Salad Which My Seven Year old Loves”
