Good and Good For You
Last week I got some beautiful large yellow summer squashes in my CSA box. Although I knew of some more traditional ways to prepare them, this recipe for roasted summer squash from Everyday Paleo caught my eye. It’s just a few ingredients, but the way the flavors marry it makes the PERFECT side dish complimenting [...]
So, last night, when we got home from the gym at 9:40PM and realized we had nothing to eat, I thought we were headed towards “well-its-late-so-lets-just-cheat-and-get-pizza” land. However, I remembered a valued savior for moments like this that I learned from my mother back in the day – breakfast for dinner. I scanned the fridge [...]
As I mentioned earlier this week, I whipped up a batch of these garlic cauliflower “mashed potatoes” to go with our spicy sausage and shrimp jambalaya. The recipe is courtesy of Nom Nom Paleo, and is an easy side dish to throw together. The best part about it is that it keeps very well (7-10 [...]
After Forrest and I enjoyed some fresh seafood in the Santa Barbara marina this past weekend, I wasn’t really quite ready to let the seafood go. Of course, in my mind as you may have figured out, you can never go wrong with something spicy and easy. I was thrilled to find this jambalaya recipe [...]

When Everyday Paleo posted this “Not Potato” salad the other day, I couldn’t wait to [...]

Paleo beginners will be diligent about meals and snacks, but still use their same mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce etc not realizing these condiments generally will be packed with sugars and yucky additives. Making your own condiments can be [...]
Last night, despite a VERY late cooking start time, I was really in the mood for something hearty and warm, like spaghetti. One of the things you will learn as you spend more time in the kitchen is that pretty much no matter what you’re craving, there is a paleo adaptation that will get you pretty close to [...]
I figured the 5th of July was probably a pretty good time to write a post about recoving from “Faileo” – a disease that sweeps the nation around major partying holidays, break-ups, good weather, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians marathons. You have “faileo” if: (1) you forgot what DLG stands for, (2) you just ate [...]
