paleo family comfort foods
b.l.a.e. dressing (bacon, lettuce, avocado, egg) We knew once we decided to make our b.l.a.e. salads…we’d have to make a dressing worthy to dress it up! Since the salad is packed with such rich tastes, great fat and umami, we thought a dressing with a little bright taste would lend just the […]
empanadas! An empanada, according to Wikapedia…is a stuffed bread or pastry baked or fried in many countries in Latin Europe, Latin America, the Southwestern United States, and parts of Southeast Asia.

We’re starting the 21dsd (21 Day Sugar Detox by Diane Sanfilippo click for all the info) on Monday the 4th, so we’re all about prepping snacks so we can be prepared and ready to go. We did this detox last year, and the beginning of the 2nd week, Makenna actually had […]

Thai basil…freshly harvested & so aromatic ! Our garden was pretty amazing this year! I say quite often, that nature is so beautiful and this lovely plant is no exception! We decided to plant two different varieties of basil this year…the traditional sweet Italian basil…because, well…it’s sweet Italian basil! Yummmmmm! […]
Paleo, Whole30 & Keto Eggs! These are not your average deviled eggs! Sassy with a zing of lime, spicy with a kick of jalepeno and creamy delicious!
So, this last Saturday, August 29th would have been my Mom (aka Makenna’s grandma) DeVona’s 74th birthday. We miss her desperately and felt inspired to make a treat that we thought she might really have enjoyed. Growing up, it was pretty easy to find a bag of “Red Hots” in her […]
Had no idea this was even in the works, let alone actually being filmed! Thank you Twitter-verse! we love paleo movie trailer! Watch out world, the truth may hurt! ~Michelle
