💕This is us...ok, so not the show on TV, but our "us" - today marks the 32nd anniversary of our first date. For those trying to count backwards, it would be the year 1989. Ahem...ya, a ways back. We never would have guessed that "Drew & Michelle" would become a thing! . 32 years ago, I was a single mother of two adorable little girls. Went out on a limb & asked this guy out from work (always a risk right?!) to go to a Christmas concert with me. I'd won tickets on the radio (ya, that was a thing back then) & needed to be assertive in finding a date. I arranged the date & as they say...the rest is history! . All this to say, you just never know where taking a HUGE leap into the darkness of "now what" will lead you. It's a love story we weren't sure how to write, but here we are. We added a couple more kids, many moves, many job changes, more family, an abundance of happy times mixed in with of course, some very hard/sad times. (Hi 2020!) . Most journeys are this way aren't they? You begin & most of the time the "plan" you have for how it will all play out gets tossed to the side. Being replaced with pivot after pivot after pivot. Learning, growing & adapting with life as it comes at you. . Happy Saturday friends! Thanks for being here & if you've read all the way to this point, thank you! Not a food post, but just felt like sharing some history today. If you feel so inclined, share a comment with us about a pivot you made & we'll pick a random winner from the comments for a copy of our cookbook! YAY!!! . Be sure to swipe left, there is quite the vintage picture & we think it's the first picture we have of us together. It's our engagement photo & it was only fitting that those two adorable little girls, Britni (3) & Erika (2), were in that picture...Drew was a Dad waiting to happen & we were an instant family. The final picture is "us" today & all we can say is "MY HOW TIME FLIES!" XOXO 💕 https://backporchpaleo.com #backporchpaleo #thisisus #family #change #growth #anniversary

A comedy that is into being vulnerable, loads of kindness, growth & of course plenty of SOCCER humor.

So hard to pick actually, they’ve all grown so much in 3 seasons & inspire/remind us to “stay awkward, brave & kind” (to quote the spectacular Brené Brown) so the whole cast has our hearts! . #recipebelow for these tasty biscuits & they are of course gluten free, and if you use ghee would be considered paleo...you do you! ENJOY! 1 cup grass fed butter (can sub ghee for Paleo) ¾ cup powdered maple sugar 1½ cups cassava flour 2 tbsp arrowroot ¼ tsp kosher salt ⚽ Prepare an 8” x 8” pan by lining with parchment paper, set aside. ⚽ Add butter (or ghee) to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat til lighter in color and fluffy, approximately 4-5 minutes. ⚽ Slowly add powdered sugar to the butter mixture, mixing til combined. Sift cassava flour, arrowroot & salt into the butter/sugar mixture, mixing again until dough comes together. ⚽ Transfer to the prepared pan & press evenly into the bottom. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 300° while the dough chills. ⚽ Once chilled, place in a preheated oven & bake for 50-60 minutes or until golden but still soft to touch. Remove from the oven & place the pan on a cooling rack, cool completely before cutting. ⚽ Store at room temperature for up to a week.
