We had such an awesome time this weekend spending time with my sister and her family, hanging out in San Francisco, and playing, relaxing and just being. It was such a needed weekend of rest and we all came home rejuvenated and revived. John and I headed straight for the gym when we got home for a much needed workout and when we got home the entire family pitched in and made our Memorial Day dinner. Continue reading
A nice beef roast is something I crave in the fall or winter months but I had a big ol’ grass fed chuck roast that was asking to be made; so I made it. I wanted to try something different then the standard roast in the oven or slow cooker so after being inspired by watching a recent Food Network show called Chopped, when one of the contestants rolled a giant elk tenderloin in a coffee spice mixture, I decided to make my own version and try it on our roast. The results? So good, beyond description really, you’ll just have to try it for yourself and let me know what you think! Continue reading
Below you will find recipes for a complete meal! As I mentioned in my Easter post, my family came over for dinner last Saturday night and we prepared for Easter as well as celebrated my birthday a few days early. I made dinner because that’s what I do and below is what I prepared – enough to feed five adults and my three hungry boys! My dad very sweetly brought over gluten free cakes from Trader Joe’s. Yes, that’s right CAKES. Continue reading
It was mentioned in Paleo Talk 14 that I would finally get around to documenting and posting one of my food items. The first one I decided on is curry. Much of the information and ingredients are similar to Sarah’s green curry. We differ in a few of the prep steps and brands used so this will add another angle on how to make a super easy meal. I call this Red or Green because the steps are pretty much the same no matter which paste you have. The Red is spicier and has more chili and shrimp aroma. The Green is crisper and refreshing with strong Kaffir lime flavor. Continue reading
As promised, here is my recipe for Chili Colorado. I would suggest this recipe as a great weekend project as it was a bit more time consuming then my usual recipes. I like quick and easy meals but a dish like this warrants a little bit of extra love and care. I suggest doubling this recipe if you want a lot of leftovers, especially if you have a larger family. We demolished this Chili Colorado on the night we made it and there was only enough leftovers for one person the next day. John snuck the rest out of the house before I could tackle him and keep it for myself. Continue reading
Pancit is a Filipino dish made with meat, noodles, and veggies and seasoned with soy sauce. My husband’s grandfather on his mom’s side was born and raised in the Philippines and passed his cultural and traditions on to his family, especially through the food! It’s been years since my husband has had homemade pancit and after talking about the dish yesterday we remembered how great my recent Sausage n’ Cabbage Noodle dish was and decided to try using the same method for pancit!
