I have every intention of doing another “Week in The Life” post, and plan to start tracking our food as of today but in the meantime, here is another complete meal post that I hope will be fun and helpful. Dinner last night was a family project and a nice way to return home after our most recent Paleo Talk seminar in Clackamas Oregon. I’ll be posting tomorrow about that event. In the meantime, here’s dinner! Continue reading
I am so happy to have family visiting this weekend! I love having my home overflowing with the ones I love the most. My sister and niece are visiting from out of town and their visit prompted a family get together including my brother, dad, and step-mom. As a family we made a delicious lunch including an awesome parsley pesto that my niece, and I made together. We added, stirred, and tasted until we all agreed that it was delicious. As I added more olive oil to the sauce, my sweet 3 year old niece told me, “Aunt Sarah, be sure to not mess up the flavors!” Too cute!
The word “mole” translated means a sauce or concoction. Depending on the region, family tradition, or choice of ingredients, mole can be made a million different ways. When I think of mole I think of interesting ingredients that when blended together somehow turn into a beautiful marriage of flavors. I also think of hours spent in the kitchen, a list of ingredients longer than my arm, and I start to feel afraid as I realize that I could never do true justice to the amazing traditional moles I have been honored to eat over the years.

Before we get to the food, here’s a bit of fun trivia about this years super bowl! Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the Green Bay Packers is a Chico, CA native. Yup, born and raised right here in my home town. Pretty cool considering how freaking hard it is to get in the NFL! So yes, we will be cheering on the Packers in hopes to see a hometown super star bring back the win. Continue reading
Admittedly, I started eating paleo because I was tired of looking at my not so attractive nakedness in the mirror and I secretly and desperately wanted to be that hot mom in a bikini….. Of course I was blind to the trillion other little health issues that plagued me; writing them off as normal. I was blind to what eating paleo really had in store for me, and blind to the the fact that a paleo lifestyle would slowly but surely open my eyes to so many important life experiences that I would have missed out on otherwise.

First off – some exciting news – I am writing a book which is scheduled to be released hopefully in February!! The book will of course include recipes as well as advice for paleo beginners and diehards alike. Look forward to information on how to get started, how to stay on track, how to shop, how to change not only your eating habits but your outlook – and much much more!! I’m sure I’ll be asking my faithful readers for input such as opinion on cover design and ideas for further content. More details to come so stay tuned! Continue reading
Sometimes when life won’t settle down, it’s important to etch out time for things that nurture us. For me, my sanctuary is time spent with my husband, and as much as I love my kids and the hours spent caring for them, I equally love alone time with John – and I need it to stay sane!
