We’ve been happily and successfully eating Paleo for a couple weeks now, and I have to say I just love it! Once in awhile I stray and have a cucumber sandwich on soft white bread, or I take a bite of a skillet cookie that has just come out of the oven (because come ON,…
Jeff surprised me with a Veggetti! What’s a Veggetti, you may ask? It’s this nifty tool for turning summer squash and zucchini (and other veggies) into noodles! You can make thick or thin noodles and they truly turn out awesome. There are other vegetable noodle makers out there, but what I really like about the…
Last night while we were sleeping all snug in our beds, it snowed! Not a lot of snow, but a light dusting. All of the rooftops were sprinkled with the white stuff and our neighborhood, situated at the foot of a bluff, looked like a fairy tale. Smoke is puffing out of several chimneys and…
Here’s a piece of good news for my Paleo friends! Bread you can make in 5 minutes! Yes, 5 minutes! You read that correctly! Are you excited? This is so easy and delicious. Gracie spreads homemade almond butter on slices of this for her school lunches. It’s also wonderful warmed a little and served with…
When we started talking about “going Paleo” and introducing this diet into our daily routine, my main concern was BREAD. Everything else seemed doable, but NO BREAD? Who are these people that can agree to a life without bread? I immediately started a search for Paleo bread recipes. I found a couple that I liked,…
The first time I heard of this gorgeous, spicy soup I was watching one of my favorite romantic comedies, Fools Rush In. There’s this scene where Isabelle (Salma Hayek) and Alex (Matthew Perry) are discussing some of their favorite foods from where they live. Alex: “Perfect would be New York and a Gray’s Papaya hot…
Are you ready for super delicious, flavorful and healthy tacos? These are truly unbelievable. I enjoyed similar tacos from a food truck one summer, thus the name. There are lots of components to these tacos, so at a glance it may seem like a complicated recipe. Everything comes together fast, and everyone will have fun…
I know that we’re right smack dab in the middle of the official “season of comfort food.” People don’t usually associate salads with comfort food, but I’m here to tell you that’s all going to change once you try this smoky, hearty salad. Chickpeas and smoked paprika (pimenton) are the stars of the show, and…
My daughter, Grace, has been on a mission to create simple, delicious and healthy treats. These little cake-like cookies are only 40 calories a piece when they’re unfrosted, and they’re mostly sweetened with healthful stevia. You can ice them with a simple powdered sugar icing (as shown above) or you could just dust them with…
We’re still having fun celebrating our 19th Wedding anniversary! I woke up to a huge bouquet of fresh pink and purple Alstroemaria flowers, French press coffee, and our favorite bagels and lox breakfast. We want to cook something slightly fancy, delicious and healthy for dinner tonight and we’re thinking this sesame-seared ahi tuna with sushi…
