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.
I love the seasonal fruits and veggies of summer. This time of year in Chico you’ll find a fresh fruit stand on almost every corner. On my way home from the gym yesterday I pulled off the road to one of the stands and picked up an abundance of strawberries, blackberries, and cherries. I knew the blackberries would go bad before we could [...]
We are back from our Mexico adventure – and I promise that my next post will contain some pics and details of the note worthy food that we ate there. The best part about our return is that we came home to a freezer full of pig – who doesn’t want that?!! One of our rock [...]
If any of ya’ll have noticed that I have been a bit skimpy on my posts this week, well it’s because I’m already in vacation mode. The family and I will be heading off tomorrow to Mexico for a much needed week of rest and relaxation!! So, in the spirit of traveling to Mexico, here is [...]
I’m so grateful for the warm weather that has finally arrived here in Chico, CA. We sat outside last night to eat our awesome salmon dinner and maybe it was my glass of wine that did it, but I was in a happy yet contemplative mood. While all the craziness in this world often lingers on the periphery of our [...]
It’s pretty simple, really, I promise… No matter what your sport might be, eating clean will give you that extra umph to make it through. On game day come prepared. The night before you should prepare your sweet potatoes, wash your strawberries, make a giant chicken salad, buy some lunch meat, and pack plenty of water. Eat and [...]
I really like corn chips. Give me some corn chips AND guacamole and I will love you forever. The problem is, I don’t feel so great after gorging out on corn chips and although I could eat them every day, we all know that’s not the best idea. So, when I am getting that snack attack for some [...]
I posted a stuffed mushroom recipe back in December but I will be the first to admit, that this one is soooo much tastier! Although a bit more complicated then my previous recipe, it’s well worth the extra effort and overall, is still not that difficult to make. My family had a blast making these [...]
I made this soup in a pinch for lunch the other day when I was down to my last couple pounds of ground beef and a few cans of coconut milk. Some of my favorite dishes evolve out of the meager offerings of what’s left in the fridge! Quick Curry Soup 1 yellow onion diced [...]
I love, love, love my crock pot and came up with a new and insanely easy spice rub chicken recipe that I hope you all enjoy! Spice Rub Crock Pot Chicken 1 5-6 lb free range organic chicken - giblets removed, rinsed, and patted dry with paper towels 1 white onion sliced 1 tsp sea salt (optional) [...]
I love tuna salad but we do not eat a whole lot of canned tuna, hoping to avoid exposing my family to loads of unnecessary mercury. A great substitute for canned tuna is of course wild caught canned salmon – but I still love tuna salad…. So I did a little research and guess what – [...]
