The Fast Fix….

The Fast Fix….

Posted on September 05, 2010 by Sarah in Dinner, Food, Lunch, News | No Comments

Over the years I have humbly learned a couple things about making paleo work for a family. One big lesson is accepting that in order to eat paleo, you simply have to cook.  Another big realization: Even when it feels as if there is no time left in the day, the reality is that a [...]

Stuffed Eggplant and Crispy Baked Okra

Stuffed Eggplant and Crispy Baked Okra

Posted on September 02, 2010 by Sarah in Dinner, Food, News | 4 Comments

Ever wonder what the heck to do with okra?  I personally do not like the slimy stuff unless it’s well, you know, breaded and fried… With that not being an option I have just avoided the vegetable altogether until my friend at Norcal, Katie D. advised me how to make it and now I have [...]

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, [...]

Ratatouille!!

Ratatouille!!

Yes, this meal was Disney inspired…  Ratatouille was playing on TV a few weeks ago and my 6 year old asked me if WE could ever make Ratatouille. Now to get off track a bit, I must mention that I recently signed up with a local farmers cooperative here in Chico called GRUB. Every Wednesday [...]

Everyday Paleo Pizza

Everyday Paleo Pizza

Last year a trainer friend of mine at Norcal turned me on to paleo pizza made with almond meal crust.  Although I like this pizza and the crust works, I wanted to find a way to make the crust DELICIOUS, rather than just a vessel for the pizza toppings.  With a few tweaks to the [...]

Chicken Paleo Piccata…

Posted on August 01, 2010 by Sarah in Dinner, Food | 10 Comments

Chicken Piccata is simple and succulent but typically this dish calls for the chicken to be dredged in flour before being tossed into the frying pan.  I decided to try to make this dish without, of course, the usual flour dredging and I dressed it up with some savory garlic and green onions in addition [...]

If you haven’t noticed, I LOVE to cook  – but sometimes I get stuck in the same old chicken salad rut because it’s easy, and I know we all like it.  But today I needed an excuse to be in the kitchen, rather then venturing out into the 105 degree weather so the boys and I  got a [...]

Maybe a few of you can relate, but it could be that I am just extraordinarily weak, but a secret about me: If I happen to have - oh I don’t know, something like chocolate ice cream in my house – I will eat it every time I set my eyes on it until it’s gone.  Why?  [...]

Grilled Chicken with Walnut Pesto Sauce and Warm Arugula Salad…

Pesto is an amazing sauce; it makes anything taste good from scrambled eggs to salad – so I have been working on a decent paleo version.  I think I came up with a pesto recipe, that in my humble opinion is better then most pestos which are laden with parmesean – and it’s super easy to put together.  Tonight I grilled some [...]

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 [...]
