Paleo Chicken and Acorn Squash Soup

This is more of a stew than a soup. Delicious, if I do say so myself. Remember if you get too much water you can just boil it out and if you boil out too much you can just add more 😊. I love soup. So user friendly.

Paleo Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chicken

I cook sweet potatoes like this all the time.  It is a "go-to" recipe in our house.

Paleo stuffed Acorn Squash

Acorn squash has a mild nutty taste that can handle any number of stuffings. Because it is so mild generally I choose bold flavors. You can actually stuff it for a beautiful presentation, or use it as a platform (like a rice pilaf) as I do here with the meat from yesterday!

Paleo Ground meat and tomatoes

Tim is having pizza so I am reducing work for tomorrow by making the meat today! I ended up making paleo "nachos" using sweet potato chips. Tasted Great!

Lemonade

Lemonade has many benefits. Nutritionist Christa Orecchio  suggests starting your day every day with lemon water. "Start the day with 16 oz. of room temperature water with a juice of half a lemon (a whole lemon if you can stand the taste). 16 ounces touches every single organ and lets the body know, hey we’re awake, and metabolism can begin!"

This is how I make mine:

Paleo Chicken with Roasted Broccoli and Carrots

I love to roast vegetables. I love the hands-off process which is largely the same no matter what you are roasting. Plus, practically all vegetables can be roasted. You will not be disappointed.

Paleo / Dairy Free Hot Chocolate!

I love hot chocolate. I love this dairy free version even better! Use a coconut milk from a can that does not have guar gum for best results.  I am not against guar gum I just don't like the taste.

Green protein shake

I have a protein shake very day for lunch.  It makes it easy. The coconut milk is from a can and has been in the refrigerator. That's why it is so thick. Golden star brand is my favorite -no guar gum and a BPA free can.

Paleo skillet quickie

I made the meat in this recipe here. I saved half the meat and put this skillet dish together the next night!

Green protein shake

I eat a protein shake for lunch everyday. But I don't like the powder by itself. This is how I fix mine:

Paleo ground turkey gets a makeover

Just FYI my whole family has recently gone paleo. Now they all call it something different but they are also all asking for recipes. Why? Because I have been doing paleo for years. So in the interest of making it easy and helping out I thought I would try out a few videos. This first one I learned a lot. Mostly, TURN YOUR PHONE SIDEWAYS!!!!!! Second, Don't hold your phone while adding spices. But it is a good recipe:

Resurrecting the blog

 There seems to be a consensus out there that I need to have blog.  Really, I think that just means I'm a know-it-all.  However, seeing as how it keeps coming up, I decided I would resurrect this site and see what  happens. So instead of writing in text messages and Facebook comments about things people ask me. I'm just gonna start posting and answering the questions here.

 So I guess what that means is that I have no idea what this blog will be about besides the endless hours of research I have done for myself trying to figure out things on all different levels.  In so doing, there will be lots of grammatical errors, plus many, many, many run-on sentences. That is what I'm known for. Feel free to help me out when you see that happening.

Here goes nothing!
