Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
If you’ve been a long time reader, you know that my family loves tacos. We, of course, eat tacos on Tuesday but you’ll find them on our menu other days as well. Or, we’ll be at the local Mexican restaurant ordering them on the weekend. Right now, I am trying to stick to my paleo diet so I’ve been making my tacos, like these paleo Korean pork tacos, at home.

I love summer vacations. Mathlete and I got to go to California for a week in July and it was amazing. We were visiting wine country so there was lots of wine tasting and TONS of amazing food. I definitely did not focus on eating paleo at all. I just ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Of course, my waistline is paying for that now so I am trying to focus on healthier eating. Breakfast is typically my most difficult meal but I have fallen in love with these paleo sweet potato waffles!

Happy Monday! I am recovering from a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend that included a trip to local winery, a visit to my husband’s parents and the best nap ever! We topped off the weekend with some Indian food including butter chicken and vegetable pakora. I’m back on track today with a paleo taco bowl on my lunch menu.

So, I have never needed a good paleo meal more than I do today! This weekend we celebrated one of my closest friend’s birthdays and it was filled with delicious food {ramen!}, drinks {wine and sake} and ended with a late night trip to Taco Bell. Tonight, we’re getting back on track with some paleo turkey stir fry as a way for repenting for my delicious but not so great food choices.

After spending a few weeks with the flu/pneumonia and then stuffing my face with every piece of Easter candy in sight, I definitely have been feeling like I need to get back to my cleaner eating ways. It can be so hard when our schedule has us running in a million different directions but that is where my slow cooker comes in. I use it whenever I can to make getting dinner on the table a little easier. This paleo crockpot Mongolian beef is so delicious that you will think it came directly from your local take out place.

The weather is starting to warm up and, for me especially, that means I love having salads for lunch. The hardest part about making a great salad though is finding a salad dressing that tastes great but isn’t full of sugar or bunch of other additives. My friend and I were talking one day and decided that we definitely needed to find a paleo green goddess dressing. After scouring a few stores and coming up empty, we decided to make our own instead.

Between doing Whole30 and trying to eat Paleo the rest of the time, we eat a lot of cauliflower rice on our house. I like to do most of our meal prep on Sundays to make getting dinner done much easier during our busy weeknights but cauliflower rice was one of those that I just never could do ahead of time. Cauliflower just plain stinks once you cut it. I saw all over Facebook how Trader Joes had frozen cauliflower rice but none of our local stores EVER seem to have it. So, I decided I would figure out how to freeze cauliflower rice at home so I could still do my meal prep on Sundays but not have my house stink all week.

I have an addiction. I can’t complain too much because it a pretty healthy one but I just can’t get enough of it. Confession: I am in love with roasted broccoli. You will be in love too once you try this easy roasted broccoli recipe.

Last week the weather turned really {ridiculously} cold and I turned to a bowl of soup pretty much immediately. Even with these amazing 29 soups, my options for Whole30 were a little limited and I was craving an old favorite. With a little tweaking, I was able to make a copycat version of a restaurant favorite that was totally ok for Whole30. This paleo Zuppa Toscana is going to blow your mind.

I finished my first week of Whole30 and so I am feeling a little crummy. I always find that days 7-9 are my worst. By day 11, I am feeling good and know I can make it through the month. Let’s celebrate the completion of my first week though with a hearty stew that is filled amazing flavors and easy to make too. Paleo chicken chorizo stew is the perfect winter’s meal and it is good for you too!
