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

Mission Sandwichon

Two years ago, the Mister and I went on a mission trip to Katira, Costa Rica. It was an amazing, life-changing experience. You can read about that here. This summer, our church is going on mission to Peru, but sadly, we won’t be on that trip. We have lots of things going on in lifeRead more

Spicy Maple Bacon Popcorn 

Since about the age of four, I have LOVED popcorn. I remember my mom making popcorn for us in an air popper and then pouring buttery goodness over the top. I remember making popcorn with the help of my dad on the stove with one of those popcorn packages that looked like a pan. YouRead more

Something NEW

There is something new happening at #casadegalvan in 2017 and that is a podcast!

Paleo Chili Bowl

My Simple Superhero Paleo Chili is probably my go-to meal when I don’t have a lot of time or a lot of money to spend on groceries. It can feed The Mister and I for a few days and we can eat it a couple of different ways. The other day I had just enough forRead more

If I Could Turn Back Time

Thirteen years ago, I was a very different person. If I could go back, let’s say 15 years, I honestly don’t think I would change a thing about it. Fifteen years ago I was in college, making really poor choices, doing really dumb things, but I still don’t think I would go back and changeRead more

Simple Superhero Paleo Chili

It’s 90 degrees outside these days but I can still eat chili like it’s 50 degrees outside!

I’ve shared this recipe with a few friends alreadyRead more
