Easter is fast approaching and yet somehow the holiday feels incredibly late this year! The following recipes are brunch recipes but if you plan on making a big Easter dinner, I recommend either my Pot Roast or Rib Eye recipe.  I had so much fun preparing this meal!  I made most of it last night and we have been eating the leftovers all day today. My first two macaroon attempts were complete failures but this afternoon the boys and I pulled it together and came up with a macaroon we all were happy with.  Before I share my recipes I’ll share with you our typical approach to Easter, sans the “traditional” candy stuffed plastic eggs and over-sized chocolate bunnies.  Continue reading →

First, when you have a chance, check out my guest blog post that I wrote for the amazing Melissa who runs The Clothes Make the Girl.

This meal felt like spring and reminded me that despite the rain here in Northern CA, warm weather and Easter bunnies are right around the corner.  I will definitely make these for brunch on Easter Sunday and probably a few more times in between now and then.  All three of my boys loved these yummy little baked eggs and Jaden was super excited about the possibilities of making them “a million different ways mom!!” Continue reading →

This is part 2 of the “It’s too Hard Series.”  We are going to look at what to do when a person such as  our beloved “Phil” is totally on board for living a paleo lifestyle and the significant other is either supportive but thinks it’s too hard, thinks your nuts, or simply doesn’t want to.  Chrissy and I addressed this situation in our last podcast regarding another family, but I want to go over this real life scenario in further detail as I feel this is a HUGE elephant in the room for many families.

Happy Holidays!!  The holidays are meant to be a time of joy, a time of merriment, a time for reflection on the year behind us and a time to plan for the future.  Alright, now it’s time to get real. The holidays can also be down right STRESSFUL and often our joy can be lost in trying to simply survive the insanity of shopping, wrapping, packing, flying, driving, and dealing with relatives…   Continue reading →

Frittata for all…

I love eggs but sometimes the same old scramble gets kind of boring.  This is when my family turns to the beloved frittata.  Making a frittata is easy, can be made a million ways, can feed a crowd, and makes eggs exciting again!  Here is one of my favorite frittata recipes:

6 bacon strips

1 diced red bell pepper

1 diced medium red onion

2 big handfuls of fresh spinach

6-8 scrambled eggs

olive oil

In a large saute pan, saute bacon and veggies in olive oil until bacon is crisp and veggies are tender.   Spread bacon and veggie mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan.  Turn up the heat until the layer is sizzling hot and then pour the eggs evenly over the mixture.  Turn heat down to low and cover for 8-10 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through.  Slice like a pie and serve!
