So life in general is pretty crazy, right? We are all busy beyond belief, pulled in a million directions, overwhelmed, overworked, and the list goes on and on. Currently, my family is on a mission to figure out how to slow down a bit. We have done some serious rearranging of our lives to hopefully conquer this goal.

Someone asked me on my Facebook page to post more slow cooker recipes which was quite coincidental because yesterday, as I was reading that particular post, I was unpacking a giant pork roast that I intended to make into pulled pork. This is about the easiest meal a person could make and so versatile. This morning we ate the pulled pork with eggs and tonight I’ll make some Purple Cabbage Slaw to eat along with the pork and I’ll maybe even make a salad out of it for lunch tomorrow; if there is any left (which I doubt there will be….)

Last night I made a whole roasted chicken, tossed some cubed butternut squash in coconut oil and roasted that as well, and cooked some greens fresh from our CSA to make an amazingly easy and tasty side dish. Here’s how I prepared the greens:
*This is a guest post by my wonderful assistant, Erika Schuler who also happens to be in her last year of college at Chico State. This blog is a quick example of how she manages to eat paleo despite a crazy schedule and a tight budget. Be sure to post your comments and questions! Here she is getting in a workout (and being silly) in my garage along with Jaden and Rowan. Thank you Erika!!

Bacon wrapped figs you ask? Yes. Bacon wrapped figs. I know it sounds weird, looks crazy, and yet; I promise they taste like something wrapped in bacon should taste – which is delicious. I picked up some beautiful organic black figs (which happen to be in season right now) from Trader Joes the other day and with the help of little Row Row we went to work! Continue reading
