Homemade Yucca Chips

This is probably one of the easiest recipes you’ll see on my site.  I typically don’t like to post the real simple stuff because I feel like you can find that anywhere.  These yucca chips; however, will rock your socks off.  They deserve a post of their very own.

Brussels Sprouts Slaw with Apple, Kraut & Bratwurst

Last Thursday we took a day trip to Austin, Texas.  We spent the day just enjoying the fact that we were away from work and the same ol’, same ol’.  While visiting we hit up a slew of paleo-friendly eateries and really went home with our bellies stuffed!  Probably didn’t have room for that serving of [...]

Weekly Menu 5/5 – 5/13

May 5th, 2013 jennifer

How do you guys shop for groceries?  Do you shop on days when money is available?  On your days away from work?  How about a weekly routine — every Saturday morning?  For my household it’s pretty sporadic.  I shop on days that I am off and that can result to any day of the week.  Every once in a while I go on long stretches of work — and have to get a lot of food all at once (as is the result this week).  So how do you say compliant and make sure you don’t grab that quick weeknight burger?  You plan!!

Butternut Squash Fritters

Tonight brings yet another Paleo Pen Pal post!  Every exchange has been rewarding, but this month was extremely special!  I had the pleasure of meeting one of the two very skilled ladies behind the Paleo Pen Pal project — Brittanie Duncan.  Brittanie blogs over at Three Diets One Dinner, and has some really excellent recipes to try.  I for one might be biased, seeing as how we are both native Texans…but she’s got some awesome BBQ posts over there!  Speaking of which, she will also be coming out with a well-deserved cookbook of her own creation.  The catchy title pretty much guarantees a sale from this paleo gal — make sure to check out her site and get any updates on “It’s Paleo Ya’ll!”  Nifty, eh?

Sometimes I enjoy eating breakfast for dinner.  Other times I enjoy a ribeye steak and 1/2 a dozen cookies.  Haha more often than not I do make good solid dinners (meat accompanied by vegetables) but why not live it up every once in a while?  Tonight’s dinner was all about party food!  Hey, a bunch of appetizers constitutes as one dinner, right?

Jason and I have been trying to be on our best behavior!  Yesterday was a tough day for both of us.  We had a lot going on and were under a good deal of stress.  I don’t know about ya’ll, but usually when I escape from an incredibly hard day I feel the need to comfort myself in some indulgence!  Trying to be as compliant as possible with not eating out and such; I decided a dessert was in order — as long as it was super simple and didn’t have too much junk.

During this month’s Paleo Pen Pal swap I received some preserved lemons from my friend over at Vivacious Dish.  Initially, I didn’t know whether to go sweet or savory and had a whole slew of ideas I wanted to test out!  My post yesterday included a savory Moroccan dish — which of course was the safe route.  Tonight I veered off just a bit more and decided to test my skills at ice cream…preserved lemon ice cream!
