Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Each week, we usually end up with at least one crockpot meal on our menu. I’m gone during dinner time on both Tuesdays and Thursdays and I know that Mathlete isn’t going to want to put any effort into actually making a dinner when he gets home. So, I get up and prepare something that cooks all day and is ready when he is home.

I am so excited to be partnering with Williams-Sonoma to bring you this amazing idea for Mother’s Day. As always, while this post was compensated, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I know you are probably basking in the glow of Spring break {ours begins this week} and maybe thinking about the upcoming Easter holiday. I’m going to say two words to you that may bring a little bit of stress into your life but don’t worry because I’m only talking about it to help you prepare. Yes, Mother’s Day is approaching and with it comes finding the perfect gift and way to celebrate your mom.

Mathlete loves sloppy joes. Besides the one time I made them with turkey instead of beef, I don’t think I have ever gone wrong making sloppy joes for him. Of course, I am trying to stick to more paleo dishes so I needed to find a way to bridge the gap between Mathlete’s favorite and something I could eat. The result are these amazing Paleo Sloppy Joes.

Ever since I started Whole30 in January and then moved to a more sustainable Paleo diet, I have been in love with cauliflower rice. It is quick and easy and tastes delicious. I use it a lot in place of rice under my stir fry but I tend to have a lot left over since I am the only one in my house that enjoys it. So, I went in search of different ways to use cauliflower rice and found these 9 great ideas.

Ok, so you remember January when I was totally eating like a cave girl and doing Whole30? Well, a funny thing happens during Whole30 and you start doing “strange” things like eating soup for breakfast or eggs for dinner. I can’t tell you how many strange looks I got at 8am when I was warming up my Thai ginger zucchini soup in the office kitchen for breakfast. Not as strange as the guy with the turkey dinner waiting for the microwave but still some raised eyebrows. This soup is seriously so good though and, while most people would probably enjoy it for lunch or dinner, I some how really wanted it for breakfast a lot.

I’ve talked a lot here and on social media about my adventure doing Whole30 this month (I even had a friend share her words of wisdom!). I started on January 5th without thinking about how that might impact our Super Bowl plans though. I’ll still be finishing up Whole30 when we host our Super Bowl party which means I need some Whole30 Super Bowl recipes to make so I can actually eat! Just in case you are in the same boat, or maybe just want some healthier options at your party, I’ve gathered up 13 recipes that are Whole30 compliant and perfect for game day!

I mentioned earlier this week that I was doing Whole30 for the month of January. I’m on day 4 now and feeling pretty good. My good friend Liz is actually the person who inspired me to finally try Whole30 so I’d thought I would have her share some of her thoughts on it, tips and tricks for surviving Whole30 and even her goals for this round. {Psst…at the end there is a link to 30 recipes to get your through Whole30 too}
So…meet Liz

Happy 2015! I hope the new year is treating you well so far. Way back on January 1st {can you believe it is the 5th already?!}, I started Whole30 with at least half of the rest of the population it seems. Unlike last time I tried it, I went into this one completely prepared with menus, shopping lists and tons of initiative.

Every Christmas, I make a breakfast casserole. It is the perfect thing for us to let cook on Christmas morning while we gather around the tree see what Santa has brought. My favorite version is one that I can put together the night before and pop in the oven when I first wake up.
As I focus on healthier choices, I find myself swapping out things like potatoes for sweet potatoes and skipping bread all together. Knowing I will be eating plenty of homemade donuts and chocolate fudge on Christmas day, I figure I should also have a healthier option like this Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole on hand as well.

Back in September, I quietly set about doing Whole 30 for the month. I post a few snippets here and there on Instagram but I definitely wasn’t shouting to the world that I was immersed in a whole month of new eating habits. During the month, I craved granola because I could no longer have my delicious granola bars that had become snack staples in my life. Of course, being September, I needed pumpkin too so this paleo pumpkin granola was born.
