Last week Zoe asked me if she could start making dinner once a week. Umm… yes! My goal as a mom is having kids that are happy, healthy, and passionate about what they do. Cooking real whole food is essential to their health and happiness. On the importance of teaching kids to cook, Jamie Oliver…
Paleo Cooking From Elana’s Pantry
We just ate this Chicken Marbella and Twice-Baked Squash from Elana’s new book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. It is all gone 🙂 I have two things to say about these recipes: 1. They are really fast and easy to make. 2. They are crazy-good. Easy and delish—so Elana. The chicken is marinated and baked…
5 Minute Coconut Cream Cheese Paleo, dairy-free
Okay, so you may say that this title is misleading. The cream cheese has to ferment for 18 to 24 hours. But that’s not work-time for you. That’s just the cheese doin’ it’s thing while you sleep and wake up and go for a bike ride or whatever it is you do. The actual prep…
Paleo Snickerdoodles
(photos and recipe courtesy of Slim Palate) I’m in the “third trimester” of my fourth cookbook, feeling like, “I’m never doing this again!” (again). Then the book will be born, and I will be so elated that I will forget it all, and be ready to have another. As I’m sure you’ve noticed I haven’t…
Sweet Potato Noodles
I posted this photo (above) on Instagram today, and a bunch of people were curious what it was and how to make it, so I thought I would write a quick explanation. These are sweet potato noodles. Not store-bought noodles that have sweet potato mixed with flour, but noodles literally made from spiralized sweet potato. I cook my…
German Apple Pancakes & Caveman Feast
I’m a fearlessly impulsive kind of person. When I decide to do something I do it right away, like when Ginger and I jumped on a plane last month to go to PFX, and like last night when I decided to buy Caveman Feast then immediately made this recipe. When I say we should do…
Relish: An illustrated food memoir by Lucy Knisley
Hi all, it’s Andrew here with another book review. Did you know that Kelly and I met in art school? We went to the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Kelly majored in photography, and I studied graphic design. (I love that these two things come together every day in the Spunky Coconut books and…
Banana Silver Dollar Coconut Flour Pancakes
Yesterday I took a day off from work on my next cookbook. My friend Aran and I went to Lucille’s in Longmont and caught up on all that has been going on in our lives over bacon, potatoes and eggs. Then the kids had some classes before we all went to Boulder to stop by…
Gather, the Art of Paleo Entertaining, book review
Just over a week ago at PaleoFX I got to meet and spend time with Bill and Hayley. We talked about our upcoming books (see mine here) and how diet had changed Ashley’s life. A bunch of us went to see the bats, and ate some amazingly good food. Bill, who is an incredible photographer, took…
PaleoFX 2013
Last Wednesday night my girls were getting ready for bed while I was scanning through Instagram. I noticed that a bunch of my blogging friends were together in a group “Where are you guys?” I commented. And, “Did my invite get lost in the mail? ;-)” Turned out that it was a PaleoFX conference. I…
