paleo family comfort foods
This is a recipe remake that is LONG overdue for my sweetheart, Drew. It’s another one of his mom’s recipes and was always one of his favs that we haven’t enjoyed for many years. Wanted to do something special for him…it’s not been a typical week for him and our family. Funerals are inevitable…click here for all reasons this recipe happened.
☀️ Here we go, off on our last SOUTHERN UTAH hiking adventure for 2021! We found our way back to the Escalante/Boulder area for the weekend to take in all it's beauty & fill our cups before the snow arrives for good here in Utah.
.
Our group today @oilcandrew @thewildmadison 😎💕

🧄 GARLIC CHIVE PEPITAS a crunchy soup/salad topper snacky snack! Super easy to prepare! Enjoy the super simple #recipebelow that you can whip up in no time & enjoy by the mouthful or up on top of your next salad or bowl of soup
.
If you don't like pumpkin seeds you can sub in sesame seeds or even pecans! The subtle garlic flavor is awesome, but feel free to sub in a different flavor like maybe onion, oregano or sumac! Get creative & enjoy!
.
Warm a cast iron pan over medium heat – add approximately 1/2 tbsp of avocado oil & warm. Toss in approx. 1/2 cup pepitas (roasted & unsalted) & toss to coat. Stir about til' they get some nice color on them & add approx. 1/4 tsp garlic powder and fine sea salt, stirring to coat. Once garlic is fragrant, toss in a a few dried chives, stir & remove from heat.
.
Spoon out into a small bowl, cool & enjoy!

PALEO STROOPWAFLES for the lazy weekend win! Add a cup of your favorite deliciousness & nibble you cares away! Delicate waffles filled with a dreamy balsamic caramel sauce just waiting to warm every so slightly up on top of that cup.

Traditional stroopwafels are yeast based, but these are not. They use our PALEO WAFFLE CONE recipe & we think they're perfect! Nut free, refined sugar free & dairy free!

🪴this is what TODAY looks like here at @backporchpaleo – repotting herbs to an inside planter so we can enjoy them over the winter…it's what I need today. It speaks to my Hobbit/gardening loving soul & soaking in a little sun & getting my hands dirty is always transformative & enjoying an afternoon Red Sox game will also help!
.
Kitchen time isn't serving me today – being creative about reworking a recipe isn't, feeling the need to share & be "ON" isn't, trying to figure out what the &$%)! bleepin' algorithm is doing to our feed isn't – hashtags…don't even get me started!
.
So I know it's time for a moment to ignore all that & really ask "what serves ME today?" Is the FULL MOON today messing with me – yep, certainly not helping! Is it my never ending "need to please everyone" – yep, that too!
.
So today – take a moment, decide what serves you & enjoy! Wednesday is already feeling better over here. 💚

🖤 SOOT SPRITE cookies are in the house! Where are our “MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO” fans?🖤
.
A beloved movie our kids grew up watching over & over again! My Neighbor Totoro is a 1988 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Soot sprites are basically “dust bunnies” who follow 2 young sisters, Mei & Satsuki, around. Our family is so enamored with them!
.
We suggest seeking out the original as it's by far better than the remake of the late 90’s! It’s now a part of the Studio Ghibli line up! The original is -Let us know in the comments what your favorite Studio Ghibli movie is! @studioghibliofficial
