My kids and I love baking. It’s fall and something about being cozy and warm by the fire makes me want to bake. We really steer clear of sweets most of the time, but every now and then it’s nice to have a sweet treat that also fits into our Paleo lifestyle. These macaroons are …
This dish totally caught me by surprise. What I mean is that I am not a big fish lover and I just always figured salmon was not something I would probably like. My mind told me that it tasted fishy…not sure why because I can’t remember ever eating or even trying it! What also surprised …
Have you ever given your kale a massage? I’m serious! This is a snazzy little trick I learned from The Academy of Culinary Nutrition. Have you ever had a big bowl full of kale and wonder why people love it so much? It can be bitter and tough. Well, no longer my friend! Next time, …
We have gone (mostly) dairy free in our home. I can’t remember the last time we had cow’s milk…I just can’t! We occasionally have grass-fed cheese, but that’s about it from the dairy department. I like to add a bit of almond milk to my coffee and we also use a lot of it for …

So, today I made some homemade tomatillo …
This is one of my easiest recipes and one of my favorite meals! I also happen to think that this is a meal that even tastes better the second day…and I love having good leftovers! The hubby loves them, the kids love them, and that makes for one happy momma. I mean, who doesn’t love …
It’s time I start updating some of my recipes. This one is definitely a family favorite and it’s so versatile. I use it for tacos, my pork chili verde, salads, burrito bowls, and even with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Once upon a time, I was in a hurry to get dinner ready (oh wait, that’s …
Do you love smoothies for breakfast? They can be so much easier and faster to prepare and can be great when rushing out the door! My kids love smoothies and are always begging for them. They love them so much that I’ve figured out they will just about do anything for me to make them …
What?!? 2 posts in 2 days…well, I guess waking up before my kids has its benefits! Gonna need that extra cup of coffee today. Not sure if I have mentioned here that I am currently enrolled in a culinary nutrition program. It’s been super fun and an awesome experience. We are about half way through …
