Menu Plan Monday February 20th

This week’s menu plan was put together by Mike while I took a Sunday afternoon nap.  I have to say, it was nice for someone else to just pick old favorites — when I plan the menu I spend way too long surfing the web, considering possibilities.   All meals are paleo/primal. Monday –...

Jicama Pepper Carrot Slaw

It was my turn to bring brunch food to my mom’s group and I wanted to find a tasty Paleo-friendly dish to share with a decidedly non-Paleo crowd.  I started browsing Pinterest and got inspired to make a jicama salad with peppers and cabbage.   Credit goes to these two sources as my primary inspiration:...

First Piano Recital

Wendy & Sam have been taking piano lessons since the summer and just had their first piano recital last weekend. Lessons have been a bit of a struggle at times.  Wendy claims she does not like them AT ALL and doesn’t want to take them and HATES piano.   However, she will frequently sit down...

Coping Strategies for the Stomach Bug

So, the stomach bug hit our house last weekend, and didn’t leave until Valentine’s Day.   It started with our middle child puking Thursday night/Fri morning, and then progressively moved through our other two children. It also hit Mike pretty hard for a few days, while I remained operational.  Just when I thought I was...

Chicken Zoodle Soup

I have enjoyed making homemade chicken noodle soup for quite a while, but now that we’ve “gone paleo”, I’ve had to adapt my recipe a little bit.  After browsing various paleo blogs, I discovered you could make zucchini noodles using a nifty julienne peeler (hat tip to Nom Nom Paleo). There several varieties available...

I’m a little late getting the menu plan put together this week, but here’s what we are having.   Everything is paleo/primal friendly. Monday – Paleo Pot Roast — I kind of winged it using these two recipes.  I’ll try and get my version posted this week. Tuesday– Jerk Chicken with asparagus and possibly cauli...

A friend shared this chicken, tomato pasta recipe a while back and our family has always loved it.  I thought of it recently, and even though Mike & I are not doing pasta or cheese, it still makes an easy, delicious healthy meal our whole family enjoys.    Here is our Paleo-ified version of High...

WFMW:  Buy Bulk (Grass-fed) Beef

Beef!  It’s What’s For Dinner! Yesterday, I picked up ~80lbs of grass-fed beef from a local farm.    Grass-fed beef is considerably more expensive than your average grocery store beef, but it is so much better (for you and the cow).  If you’ve never seen it, I highly recommend watching Food, Inc. to get a...
