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:...

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).

Fruit Salad

One of our traditions is to have fruit salad Christmas morning.   Although fresh fruit is more expensive (and out of season), it’s a healthy splurge I don’t mind making –  I feel like we take in so many sugary sweets around the holidays, it’s refreshing to have something healthy and delicious to munch on....

My nephew made this coffee cake when we visited them in Montana this summer.  It was really good, and it’s easy to make — it’s a great choice for a brunch or Christmas morning.  It’s meant to be made overnight but you can also make it the morning of and it tastes fine too....
