Oh the weather outside is frightful – but thisย SOUP is so delightful! I’ve repeatedly expressed my deep love for all things soup before, so here is another Paleo-Friendly recipe that is quick, easy, and most importantly uses my Vitamix (aka my new favorite toy!). If you don’t have one, fret not, an immersion blender or a good old-fashioned blender will do the trick.DSCF1150 Read on for the back-story on this deliciousness! (more…)

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Spaghetti Squash

Dear Pasta,

Why are you so delicious? There’s something so lovely about a giant bowl of spaghetti and meatballs that melts my heart in a special cheesy melty way. Despite your deliciousness, I know that you make me fat and lethargic – not to mention a stomach ache. You’re one of the first things I missed when I went Paleo. But I must admit, pasta m’dear, that I’ve found someone new. It’ll never be as delicious as you, but I know in the long run we’ll be much better together. It’s name? Oh, let’s not let this get ugly. [Spaghetti: TELL ME IT’S NAME!!]ย OKAY! It’s spaghetti squash. I’ve left you for spaghetti squash.ย
