Almost Summer Cucumber Tomato Salad

Summer is almost here! Or is it? I know that it’s still cooler in most parts of the country and some are NOT enjoying it. Here in south Texas, the evenings have been cool and a little gloomier than normal for this time of year and I LOVE it BUT, I am also longing forRead more

Chorizo Green Beans

In my opinion, paleo side dishes are hard to come by. I often find myself scrambling for something to eat with my daily choice of protein. This is one of my favorite paleo side dishes and it’s also pretty fast to make so, I thought I would share it with you! The Kiolbassa brand ofRead more

Spicy Garlic Chicken Thighs

For the past 21 weeks the Mister and I have spent our date nights going out to have a meal, and then coming home to record an episode for our podcast, So This Is Love.  This week we just couldn’t fit it in the budget to hit up a place where we could eat somethingRead more

Garlic Butter Zoodles

Oh my goodness! These zoodles are nutty, buttery goodness and you should totally either go and buy some sort of contraption to make the zoodles or buy them already spiralized.  My go to zoodles are those by the Veggie Noodle Co. They sell them at my local HEB so I’m sure you can find them atRead more

Hearty Taco Pie for a billion

One day last year at TJ Maxx (my favorite store), I came upon this absolutely BEAUTIFUL 15 inch cast iron skillet. It was $29.99 and I couldn’t pass it up. The price and the size made it so hard to walk away from. This pan normally goes for upwards of $70.  A couple of weeksRead more

So long 2016- Hello 2017!

What a year! A lot happened in 2016, both in the world and in my personal life. Good things and bad things, sad things and happy things. I wanted to give up MANY times but I didn’t. I’m sure a lot of you felt the same way, but honestly, that is what got me throughRead more

Pre-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Thanksgiving is coming! It’s coming really fast. Around the Galvan house, we take our holidays very seriously. The Mister brines a couple of turkey’s every Thanksgiving, and I doubt that this year will be any different. One thing for sure, he’s not in big box retail anymore so, I will have him home all dayRead more

Paleo Chicken Salad

Today is Day 5 of being off of the 21 Day Superhero Challenge and I’m still feeling so good!  One of my favorite things about the challenge is the meal plans that Emily Schromm sends us. In the last three that I’ve done, I have tried at least one recipe from each one. I reallyRead more

Paleo Ranch Dressing

Making my own dressing for my salads has really been fun! I get to be creative with the spices I add and that makes everyone in my house happy- especially the Mister. We have this ongoing argument about some of the things I make us for meals. He says some things are not REAL foodRead more
