Zulily is a deal site that offers amazing prices on everything from kids toys and clothing to women's clothing, shoes, and home decor. It also happens to be one of my very favorite places to shop because the prices are amazing AND they often have greener product options mixed in among the more conventional. In November I bought some workout clothing, a couple toys for my my youngest kiddo, and some kitchen items like my now beloved cast iron skillet. I consider myself to be a VERY savvy online … [Read more...]
Pan Fried Pork Loin/Chops and Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Mmmm...comfort food. This is what I made for dinner a couple nights ago and it was delicious. I am no food photographer though so if my pictures fail to convey how yummy it was just take my word for it...or make it yourself. ;) It's easy and quick (about 20 minutes). The Chops/Loin: I used pork loin because that is what I had on hand. Typically I would use pork chops. To make I just dredged the pork in coconut flour and sprinkled with salt, pepper, and Herbs de Provence from Mountain Rose … [Read more...]
Coconut Ginger Pancakes – Primal & Grain Free
Remember my Creamy French Toast Pancakes recipe from a few weeks back? Well, my husband is in love with it. He makes them 4-5 times a week, maybe more.

Anyway, this week he … [Read more...]
Nourishing Mushroom Leek Frittata Recipe
I make this meal quite often for breakfast or as an after CrossFit "power" meal. This serves one and it is sooooo delicious! I also like that it gives me the opportunity to use leeks because they are a favorite of mine and since potatoes (their favorite playmate) and I are not on such good terms these days, I don't cook with leeks so much anymore. I also love mushrooms and usually go for baby bellas with this recipe but went with plain white buttons on this day. Often times I will chop enough of … [Read more...]
Creamy French Toast Pancakes Recipe
One of the issues I have with hitting the gym (or a CrossFit class) in the early mornings is that it kind of screws up normal mealtimes. I also cannot eat a big meal before exercising or I will get crampy so most days I grab a Lara bar and call it my morning meal. Then when I get home I debate whether or not to fix a meal for myself (everyone is still sleeping) or snack until we can eat a meal together. Either way I usually have a cravings for breakfast style foods whether it is actually … [Read more...]
