Kids often get asked “what’s your favorite color?” or “what’s your favorite food?” Well, as a child when I was asked what my favorite food was, I responded with an innocent voice: “artichokes”. No joke. It was hands down my favorite thing to eat; in my mind it was ten times better than pizza, hamburgers,… Continue reading Artichoke & Dipping Sauce

Pesto Tilapia
For the last 2 weeks I’ve been feeling fantastic…and of course, food has everything to do with it. Food always has everything to do with it. You know the saying “you are what you eat”? Well, I think its 100% accurate; not only physically, but mentally as well. If you eat right not only do… Continue reading Pesto Tilapia
Summer Squash Wedges
I’ve been active on various social channels and I’ve found a common need amongst various Paleo followers: the need for more easy-to-make side dish recipes. People want something easy, something that is not a salad, and something that requires few ingredients yet still remains delicious and exciting. I would like to dedicate this post to… Continue reading Summer Squash Wedges
Bacon-Pesto Stuffed Burgers
I’ve wanted to prepare stuffed burgers for a while now (probably for two months). I took a long time because I knew that if I was going to stuff my beef, I needed to stuff it with something worthwhile. I wanted to use two stuffing ingredients, ones that would compliment each other and when united,… Continue reading Bacon-Pesto Stuffed Burgers

One serving (4-oz fillet) provides half of the recommended (daily minimum)… Continue reading Ginger Garlic Tilapia

I usually use the crockpot a lot in the wintertime, making flavorful recipes that seem to warm up the house with wonderful smells. Winters in Idaho are tough, and believe me when I say ANY little positive thing counts. If it wasn’t… Continue reading Apple Curry Chicken Crockpot
Bacon Guacamole
At my household we eat guacamole like it’s going out of style, having it two to three times a week. This is a lot of guacamole, considering our portion consists of a full Molcajete (shared between two people). Usually my husband ends up eating a little more than me, so that‘s a good thing I… Continue reading Bacon Guacamole

Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes
Rosemary. What a lovely little piece of heaven. It’s one of my favorite herbs. Did you know that in Latin “Rosemary” means the “dew of the sea”? Apparently rosemary, in various locations, needs no water other than the humidity carried by the sea breeze to survive. How pretty is that? I knew rosemary was romantic.… Continue reading Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes
Hearty Paleo Juice!
I’ve been craving beets lately. A whole lot. There is something about their redness and their composition that attracts me so much to them. If my body wants beets, it must mean it needs beets….right? Here are a few fun facts on beets: Beets have sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosperous (You can’t “beet” that)!… Continue reading Hearty Paleo Juice!
