I’m starting this blog to share that paleo eating is possible. I’m a busy mother of three, wife, CrossFit coach, and well - totally human.
Sick of scrambled eggs – try poached! I always assumed that poached eggs were for folks who had more culinary expertise and patience then little ol’ me. Although I love to cook - I find more frustration then satisfaction when trying to make ANYTHING that is as lovely and delicate as a poached egg. BUT – thanks to [...]
It’s been raining like crazy and cold here in Chico, so what’s better to warm up the body and soul than some stew. This recipe is almost too easy – total comfort food AND it’s super diverse. Here is the basic recipe but I say add whatever you want and I bet it will be even better! Oh, and I’m mildly [...]
There are so MANY wonderful reasons to eat your greens (kale, chard, collard greens, etc….) Eating greens provide the body with vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, manganese, potassium, iron, vitamin E, dietary fiber, copper, calcium, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, folate, biotin, niacin and pantothenic acid. Need I say more?? YES, I should say [...]

I will officially admit that I WILL use tomorrow as an excuse, like everyone else in America, to sit on my arse, eat a lot of food, and partake in a couple of drinks…
So, here it is: My Paleo Super Bowl, sit on my arse while not really caring about the game, and falling asleep early menu:

If I had a dollar for every time someone has asked me, “What do you feed your kids when eating Paleo?” I would be a gazillionaire… The short answer is, they eat what I make - and what I allow in my house. If you only have healthy options available in YOUR house, there will not be [...]
