Slow cooked, one-pot meals are simply the best. Fresh ingredients, a variety of vibrant colors, and that slow-building aroma that fills the house all day long?? It’s priceless! My Chicken No-Noodle Soup is a great weekend favorite of ours. Start it in the morning, and feel free to let it simmer super low all day long (though it can be ready in as fast as about 3 hours, including prep time). Or, more my style these days – start it […]

Asparagus is a delicious, easy veggie and the fern-colored spears add a touch of elegance alongside any of your favorite proteins. I consider this little treasure of a recipe our “A-List Asparagus” because the simple addition of nutmeg and lemon elevates it to a superstar status. You could invite Robert Downey Jr. (or your A-List star of choice) over and feel proud serving this dish. I love that it’s still super easy, so as not to frazzle you while under […]

So… our slow cooker died recently, which was indeed a tragedy, but also the perfect excuse to dust off our Dutch Oven we’d purchased awhile back. Slow-roasting something in the oven is just slightly different from using a countertop slow cooker, so I thought I’d share our favorite Dutch Oven Pot Roast recipe with you. Now you have a variety ways to cook pot roast under your belt! We discovered this recipe from the well-known Pioneer Woman. Thank you, Ree! […]

One of the things we have missed most from our past life involving processed food is Caesar Salad. It seemed that only great-tasting caesar dressings existed in restaurants or bottles on the grocery store shelf. Inspired this past Thanksgiving to track down a delicious home-made recipe (quality control, you know), Jake found one that was a hit for us and all his family too. It involved coddling an egg, which was a term I’d never heard before, and a few […]

Hi Friends! I hope you have been having a wonderful summer! While I certainly have been enjoying the Seattle sun these past few weeks, I must admit that I am very much looking forward to Autumn’s arrival. I have been craving a big dose of overcast skies, cooler air, and the perfect excuse to pull my beanie hats and Ugg boots from the closet… Jake and I have been eating a lot of the same things around here lately (which […]

I was trying to think of something genius to call this recipe, but couldn’t find any great adjectives that began with the letter P (I like a bit of alliteration). I suppose just posting pizza at all on a paleo-friendly site is crafty enough… but as soon as I thought of this title, I knew it was absolutely perfect. I call it… Date Night Pizza. Why, you might ask? It’s attractive… It smells delicious… It tastes absolutely mouth-watering… It fulfills […]

While I am certain Jake and I are not the first people to ever grill their veggies, we stumbled upon this means of cooking by accident. We invited some of our family over for dinner last night and were planning to roast Cilantro-Lime Chicken and asparagus. I had planned on roasting everything together, until I realized that only the chicken was going to fit in the oven. Oops. So, Jake suggested we grill the asparagus instead. Sounded good to me, […]

The only encounter I have had in my entire life with an eggplant was that of my sorority sister’s car during college. Because of its aubergine color, we referred to it as The Eggplant. More recently, I was watching Buddy’s new Kitchen Boss show and became inspired to try the veggie for the first time ever. Although many of Buddy’s family recipes contain pasta, dough or bread, he also has a lot of dishes featuring fresh protein and veggies. And […]

I hesitate to call these “paleo” breadcrumbs because they do involve a bit of cheese (see my last post for why) and I know that the paleo enthusiasts of the world will be all up in arms because dairy is a firm no-no food to those just starting paleo or participating in the Whole 30 program. So, be a grown-up. If you don’t want the cheese, just take it out! Breadcrumbs can be used in a variety of ways, from […]
