We threw my sister-in-law a real curveball, coming to visit during Lent when our entire family was grain-free. I’m pretty sure she had a spectacular menu all planned out when I dropped the email bomb about, “By the way, we gave up grains for Lent, and it’s not just a sacrifice thing, but we have […]
An observation: When you cut grains, there’s still something else that takes their place as the “eat it at every meal” regular.

I shared this paleo pancake recipe last week on Twitter in well less than 140 characters. Brace yourselves. I’ll flesh it out a little more today, but rest assured it’s THAT brain-dead easy.

I’m not usually a fancy cheese girl. It tantalizes me, really, and I’ve always loved raising my status in a group by going bold and ordering a meal with goat cheese in a restaurant.

You can make just about any recipe, especially one that cooks the meat for a long time and in liquid, with either grassfed or conventionally raised beef. It makes the recipe title sound fancy, though, doesn’t it? 😉 UPDATE: A commenter pointed out that
A meatless meal that doesn’t feel like a sacrifice, this simple, nourishing wrap includes chickpeas (garbanzo beans), carrots, cumin and more. As an added bonus these wraps are so easy your kids can make them. These would make a great addition to this list of simple party food. When I decided that I was interested
