I’ve been really into poultry lately, eating tons of chicken and turkey. I like to prepare my chicken in a very simple way, grilled or broiled…this works great for me, since I can then add grilled chicken to salads, mix and match it with various side dishes, and sometimes, just eat it by itself as a snack. However, I like my turkey a bit more...“complex”. Last post showcased my favorite ground turkey recipe for lettuce wraps, which is still a mix-and-match sort of recipe (simple enough Read more [...]

* Guest Blogger: Bonnie Lewis, from Bonnie the Baker :) At what point in our lives do we go from having opinions to have convictions?  An old pastor of mine once said that as he got older, his list of convictions got shorter and his list of opinions got longer.  I guess this means that as he learned more and more he allowed his mind to be changed, and things that he once felt very rigid about became a part of a category in which he held his thoughts loosely.  On the other hand, his list of convictions Read more [...]

Here it is. The Thanksgiving dinner signature dessert. Pumpkin pie. A little piece of heaven everyone looks forward to during this time of year. I am very excited and proud of this treat; I am confident you all will enjoy it as much as my husband, friends and I have. We've eaten it slowly and carefully to fully savor every single bite. I've even served it with our tiny little espresso spoons, that way puny bites are guaranteed ;). Crazy much?! Nah...just crazy about this pie. Thanksgiving Read more [...]

Paleo Curry Meatballs! YUM! These are seriously incredible. You guys know how much I love protein and how often I eat it (every 2-3 hours, every day!), so this recipe will most definitely be added to my “weekly protein-must-haves”! Don’t be afraid to use all the curry powder this recipe calls for, I know it is a lot, but you wont regret it. Be brave! Sorry I have not been posting as frequently as I used to. I got a new job two weeks ago and things have been way busier than expected. It’s Read more [...]

It has been a little over a month since I last wrote a post. That is crazy to me…especially since I used to write a new recipe post almost every single day. I’m sorry I’ve been away for so long, I’ve missed all of you guys! My husband and I took a long vacation to visit my family in Ecuador (which was so nice and very much needed) and then on our way back, we stopped in Las Vegas for a week. We needed to leave Boise for a little bit, catch up with family and just relax. While in Ecuador, Read more [...]

I adore coffee! So much so, that I don’t go a single day without it. Sometimes having 4-5 cups a day! Here is a story that will show you how crazy addicted I am to coffee…on my last two years of college I had a coffee ritual I would not dare to break. Sometime during my day (preferably during lunch time), I would go to my favorite local coffee shop in Boise named “Java”. I would park my car, grab my wallet and walk into the smell of strong and oily coffee beans (oily coffee beans are Read more [...]
