Lake Tahoe half week

TAHOE! Comfy enough little dude? What a rough life… I took zero food photos while we were on vacay. Zero. We ate all but one meal at our rented house in Tahoe City. The one place we went out to – Fire Sign Cafe – was SO good though. I highly recommend for anyone staying/traveling through the area. They make their own [everything] and have allergy friendly options aplenty (think coconut and almond milk, gluten free bread, vegan/vegetarian faux meats, etc.). Not to mention, our waitress was fantastic. Seriously, cannot say enough good things about it…. Read more >

Paleo Asian Slow Cooker Pork Belly

Let’s get one thing out of the way right up front and just acknowledge the fact that I’m using the term “Asian” pretty loosely in this recipe. If you’re looking for authenticity in the genre, I’m not your girl. But if you’re looking for an Asian(ish) recipe that tastes delicious, look no further. Inspired by my son who cannot eat soy, sesame, gluten, tree nuts, and peanuts (all common in Asian cuisine) I developed this recipe so he could share our meal with us as well. It’s the first time I gave him coconut amino and… Read more >

The weekly menu

Alternate title: when you buy ten pounds of pork belly… …you have some options. For 2/3 of the portion (about 6-7 pounds?) I made a rub and Kyle grilled it for 70 minutes keeping the grill at 300 degrees. The rub had 2 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp brown sugar. I attempted to score the fat side, but I didn’t really know what I was doing so who knows if I successfully did that. In any event, I did try to cut a… Read more >

One zucchini recipe

And just like that, zucchini game is ON. My mini man likes zucchini just like his mama, so I thought it would be awesome to grow some in the garden…but for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW my plant has produced nothing but males. What. The. Heck. !?!? So I bought some at farmer’s market. And made muffins. Mini ones to be exact. And they don’t call for any sweetener at all so they are perfect for little ones with un-warped palates. Or adults who want to give their sweet tooth a break. They are still… Read more >

Fourth Festivities Weekend

I’m just going to say from the get go, summer is awesome. And even though it’s taken me a while to recap our 4th of July, I figured better late than never because these memories are so worth capturing in print. Kyle had Friday off so we invited friends over for breakfast. I made a plum clafoutis based on this recipe, but I accidentally changed it rather significantly when I dumped an entire can of coconut milk (as opposed to the 1 cup of dairy liquid called for) in the batter. I tried to compensate by adding… Read more >
