2019 thus far
This post contains affiliate links. Please read my affiliate disclosure. I can’t believe I haven’t written about food in half a year! I feel like my mental health concerning food has gotten much better. I no longer think of food as “good and bad.” Food is food. Some food is simply more nutritious than others.… Read more
OTF Transformation Challenge Days 1-3
June 27, 2018 Monday was the start of the aforementioned transformation challenge and round 2 of my Whole30. Unfortunately I am not doing a true Whole30 because part of the challenge is food logging on the My Fitness Pal app. I didn’t even make it past day 1 anyway because Monday evening I made Wonton… Read more
Whole 30: My Why
Yesterday I began the Whole30 program. Why? Over the past few years I have had some food issues that I have been neglecting to deal with and I know that certain foods negatively impact my health in noticeable ways . On my own, I have not had the willpower to be purely paleo/primal and abstain… Read more
Smothered Chicken with “Rice”
Last night’s dinner was inspired by this recipe from Just A Pinch. Before finding that recipe, I acquired a homemade batch of cream of mushroom soup from a local market and wanted to somehow incorporate chicken. I used Pinterest to search for “cream of mushroom with chicken” and the aforementioned recipe looked like the perfect meal!… Read more
Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
I recently made Philly Cheesesteak stuffed peppers for dinner with the random ingredients that I had. I cut and boiled the bell peppers, sauteed the mushrooms and onions, I did my best to cut the steak into thin strips (totally failed at that) and made two pieces of cheese fit across the four pepper slices.… Read more

Her daughter was in… Read more
Japanese Yum-Yum Sauce – PALEO VERSION!
I started a new job as a nanny this week. The third grade child got straight A’s on his report card so the family went out to a Japanese steak house for dinner last night. There were leftovers in the refrigerator so I fed that to the toddler for his lunch. There’s a giant bottle… Read more
Fried Fish
Typically my husband and I stock up on frozen fish at Whole Foods like mahi and wild sockeye salmon. Well apparently my husband threw in a bag of frozen monkfish. I saw it defrosting in the refrigerator the other night and thought it was mahi since it was white. We ate the fish last night… Read more
Beef Stirfry
My husband and I FINALLY made the drive to Whole Foods in Tampa two weekends ago to stock up on meat. It’s been great to have fresh high quality red meat in our lives again. I absolutely love the smell of raw steak. I often wonder if I’d like the taste as well…..lol I’ve heard… Read more
Brisket Dinner
Grabbed food from Locale Market last night. It actually wasn’t our first choice. We wanted to go to Chief’s Creole Cafe but they, along with the bbq joint next door, were rented out for a private event. I’ve had brisket from Locale at least three other times and each time it was soooooo good! Mouth-watering… Read more
