I seem to be leaning on the blog’s archived sauces lately. While that may be a bit uncreative of me, there’s nothing wrong with using what works! And the basil cream atop this meatloaf just plain WORKS. Basil and tomato are classically summer flavors, but you can side step that little detail by grabbing some frozen…

Tomato Basil Meatloaf
Today marks a very special anniversary. It’s been 6 YEARS since I began my journey down the “paleo” road. In the spring of 2009 I stumbled upon Mark’s Daily Apple and began reading his daily articles. I found the logic of ancestral eating very intriguing and proceeded to pre-order his new book, The Primal Blueprint. Once…
Basil, Peach, and Bacon Salad
As we near the end of summer, I want to encourage you all to enjoy the fruits of the season in as many ways as possible! Contrary to common knowledge, fruit isn’t just a snack or something you put in a smoothie. If you want to get really creative in the kitchen, use fruit in your…
Shredded Broccoli and Almond Pancakes
I’m pretty stoked on summer coming to a close. It means that my beloved beach city will return to the residents, there will be less marine layer in the morning, and the weather will still be warm! We moved to San Clemente last year about this time, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The Fall season…

It may not be a household word, but the movement has come a loooong way from 4 years ago (when I first joined the cave people). I remember…
Basil, Avocado, and Tomato Salad

I love fried eggs, and sautéed vegetables, and sweet potato hash, and bacon, and sausage, and omelets, and nut butter pancakes, and…
Tomato and Roasted Fennel Soup
My husband used to work at a restaurant in San Diego. Not gonna lie, this restaurant makes some pretty delicious meals and my man is one of their biggest fans. He loves many a dish on their menu… Beef cheeks, fig meatloaf, ahi tuna chop chop… I could go on forever. Not being one to…
Basil Cream Sauce
So this is what it takes for me to actually sit down and compile my first blog post… a rainy day. Pathetic I know, but it was just the motivation I needed to get this thing off and running. I have just finished my 4th week at Bauman College on a quest to become…
