I found this recipe the other day and oh my goodness, it was yummy!  Cass and I loved it, kids liked it, even the neighbor kids that were over for dinner liked it.   I made just a few adjustments, of course, since I never…

This was a HUGE hit at my house……I may have done a happy dance when two of my four kids asked for a second serving! Sauce: 3 tbsp lime juice 4 tbsp soy sauce (I use gluten-free tamari, you could also use coconut aminos) 2…

Here’s the plan for this week: Monday:  Jambalaya (first try from a new site….hope it’s good!) Tuesday:  Spaghetti and Meatballs (spaghetti squash, not pasta!) Wednesday:  Marilyn’s Chicken Soup Thursday:  Taco Salad with Chipotle-Lime dressing Friday:  Pizza   I’m looking forward to tonight’s recipe….I love jambalaya…

I skipped last week’s menu planning…..a weekend trip threw me off a bit, both on my planning and my Paleo challenge.  But….my weekend away in California was well-worth it! So here’s this week’s plan: Monday:  Cod (not sure how I’ll prepare it yet, but I’m…

Last week’s menu worked out well for us, though we did switch around a few of the days.  That’s the beauty of planning my menu in advance and shopping for all the necessary ingredients:  I have everything I need for each meal, so I can…
