Flank Steak is one of my favorite meats to cook. There are so many different ways to prepare and serve it, it cooks up quickly, is always delicious and great left over in salads. My favorite way to cook it is on the grill. Last night I was pressed for time because we had my parents rolling into town just in time for dinner and then we had to be at a 7pm basketball game for our 8-year old son. I had […]

This is one of those dishes that is so easy I make it year-round. It’s even delicious left over for a snack or as a side meal. Travels well too, so a great one to make ahead, throw in your tupperware and bring it with you. All you need is… Your favorite tomatoes (I am partial to Roma’s)seeds removed and sliced to your liking Cucumber-sliced Green Onion-chopped Basil-I prefer fresh basil-give it a quick chop and throw it in. It adds the […]

Just because you can’t have tacos anymore now that you’ve discovered the fabulous Paleo life, doesn’t mean you can’t have tacos! And this is a reason to celebrate, Paleo People! When my sister Shelley texted me a photo of her lettuce-boat tacos one day, I thought, why didn’t I think of that yet??? Tacos used to be one of my very favorite foods. I used to make them weekly for dinner, even hand-frying the corn shells myself. I used to […]

The week before last, I flew to San Diego for a photography workshop. I was so excited to go learn some new skills, and stay with one of my nearest and dearest girlfriends while I was there. But, a few days before the trip, I had a bit of a subtle panic attack. I had thought of everything… my camera equipment, my flight itinerary, my rental car… everything. Except the food. My heart took a quick pause, my chest tightened […]

I LOVE frittatas…I love making them, I love eating them, I love saying ‘frittata’…the whole dish is just fun! (fri-tah-tuh). An omelet resembling a large pancake (this is the dictionary definition). Basically a frittata is like the omelet, only you don’t fold it and you finish cooking it in the oven. It’s the Italian way to make an omelet and it is so delicious! There are so many ways that this dish could go…here is one of my favorites… Ingredients 1 small zucchini-sliced […]

I love steak, so I get super excited when I discover a new rub. I ordered a Cowboy Rib Eye at a restaurant recently, and it was so good that I had to figure out the recipe so I could make it at home :) So here it is, it’s just a simple rub, so mix the ingredients together, rub on both sides of your favorite grass-fed steak, and grill to your preference! We served ours over some Spicy Spaghetti […]

If I would have known what I know now when I was 11 years old, I may not have type 1 diabetes right now. And yes people, there is scientific evidence to support this theory. If you know anybody who is currently a diabetic (of any type), or is in the “at risk” category for type 2 diabetes, you need, need, need to send them this information. And stat. Their pancreatic islet cells may still be salvageable! I was awestruck […]

If you’re newer to a Paleo lifestyle (and have properly cleaned out your kitchen), you may find your taste buds missing one particular item from your pantry that you used to love… that you enjoyed, maybe daily, since you were just a kid… that is common across families all over the USA… Yes, Paleo People, I’m talking about peanut butter. This was one of the last things to go in our house when we started Paleo, and I think we […]

I mentioned before that I was determined to find a scratch fajita seasoning so that I could free myself from our addiction to the McCormick’s Fajita seasoning we’ve been using. And not only did I succeed at discovering a great fajita marinade, but Shelley did as well. (Two are so much better than one!) The recipes are a bit different, so we’ll be posting them separately. You can try them all yourself to find your favorite! I decided to change […]
