I am so excited! Let me tell you why… This last week, we finally started back up with the remodel of our new apartment in downtown Boise. The place had previously been destroyed by one of the contractors we had hired (him and his team had no clue of what they were doing…at all), and… Continue reading Salsa-Lime Chicken

Spiced Ground Turkey
Hello my wonderful Amazing Paleo people! I am so sorry I’ve been MIA these last few days. I have missed blogging SO much. Life is crazy right now for my little family (me & hubby). We’ve rented our house and moved in with our in-laws, for about a month, until our new apartment is ready… Continue reading Spiced Ground Turkey
Artichoke & Dipping Sauce
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
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

Yuca is low in fats and protein. It’s a great source of Vitamin K, which helps the body with bone mass building. It is… Continue reading Yuca Fries
Paleo Chips and Salsa
There is this one salsa at our city’s Co-Op that is amazing! It comes in three varieties: mild, medium and hot. I like hot. My husband likes medium. It is made locally, which I love; got to support my local folks! When you read its label, you get a list of all its ingredients, ingredients… Continue reading Paleo Chips and Salsa
Patacones (like Plantain Chips, but better!)
There is nothing like our senses to bring back crystal clear memories. And for some reason, smell, sound, and taste seem to do the trick quite effectively! These three seem to trigger some sort of chemical (or so I think) reaction in our brains that brings back perfectly clear memories in a matter of seconds…just… Continue reading Patacones (like Plantain Chips, but better!)
Tuna Guacamole
One of the things I miss most about living in Ecuador is the availability of cheap produce…and the ease of produce purchase. While stopping at a red light, you could buy 25 oranges for one dollar, 5 mangoes for a dollar, or 15 tangerines for a dollar. All with just rolling down your window. Street vendors come… Continue reading Tuna Guacamole
