REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD – Black Coffee and Delish Dairy Free Creamer
Many years ago when I transitioned to dairy free living, I sadly gave up my coffee creamer. Having served in the U.S. Marine Corps it should have been an easy transition back to black coffee (lol!) but it wasn’t. Over time, I got used to a new way of dairy free healthy living. If the […]
Clark County transplant managing balancing act with wine and family
After years of following, Pam Walden, owner/winemaker of Willful Wine Company, is leading and her graceful confidence is contagious. A relative newcomer to Vancouver, Washington, Clark County wasn’t specifically on her radar. When I asked her how she ended up on the North Bank, her response was honest and unapologetic. “Some guy,” she laughed. “I […]

A Refreshed Healthy Living Path for 2017
FROM THE KITCHEN OF SATED SENSITIVE DENISE HAYS With the first few days of 2017 under our belts and the unusual weather pattern of more snow and ice…It’s that time of year when we typically go inward to assess last years performance – and chart a refreshed healthy living path for the new year. Looking […]
Chili and “Cornbread”
My Grandmother is from the south and has always made a mean cornbread. The best thing ever is to crumble it up in a big bowl of chili, so tasty. These days I try to avoid regular chili, the beans aren’t paleo and regular cornbread is full of non-paleo ingredients. I modified some different versions […]
Avocado Egg Salad
I thought I’d bring you the thing I’ve been eating the most lately and enjoying so much! Thinking back on those church pot-luck days as a kid had me remembering how someone always brought an assortment of little sandwiches cut into triangles. My favorites were the cream cheese and pineapple, tuna salad, and of course egg […]
Coconut Curry Chicken and Vegetable Soup
Doesn’t that title just say it all? Yum in a bowl happened at my house tonight. I knew it would be a soup making week when it started out with a sick hubby and then kid. It quickly moved on to a sick me and since this soup is one of my favorite “under the […]
Paleo Pumpkin Bread
It’s that time of year again! Pumpkin spice everything! While I’ve seen some of you poke fun at how this time of year suddenly turns everything into a pumpkin spice-o-rama, I happen to love fall and all it’s pumpkin-spiciness. Also nothing screams fall more than a good old pumpkin bread recipe. Today I bring to you […]
Fall weed control is best for perennial weeds
If you have perennial weeds such as dandelion, clover, Canada thistle, ivy or blackberries, now is the best time to apply herbicides. Plants are sending food produced by the leaves down to the roots, so herbicides are transferred more quickly to kill the entire weed. Use lawn weed killers or weed and feed on your […]
Fall is best time to fertilize your lawn
Question: I was planning to fertilize my lawn when a neighbor told me I should wait until October. Is this the wrong time to fertilize? I saw a lawn care truck fertilizing in my neighborhood last week. When is the best time for fall lawn fertilization? I normally fertilize my lawn just twice a year. […]
Chocolate Banana Brownie Bites
Mmmmm chocolate. I bet you didn’t know you could have something this yummy and still consider it healthy huh? I recently discovered these little gems over at one of my Paleo heroes blog The Paleo Parents. These mini brownie bites really satisfy the need for a treat when everyone else is having something yummy and you’re […]
Cauliflower Fried Rice
I’ve been meaning to bring this one to you for a while. Rice is one of those carb-filled items that I most miss, so finding this alternative made me want to do the dance of joy. I also have to confess that I cooked this yesterday and the whole batch is already gone (no judging). This […]

Pizza “Muffins”
Mmmm pizza (insert voice of Homer Simpson here). If you’re eating Paleo, or practicing any kind of fairly healthy lifestyle, pizza is usually off the menu. I know there are a lot of alternative pizza crusts out there but in the words of Marvin Gaye: “Ain’t nothing like the real thing”. So sometimes you have […]
Bacon Guacamole Sliders
After tooling around the Paleoverse today, I felt like making something for all the carnivores out there. However I have to admit something to said carnivores…I’m not a big bacon fan. I know, I know, it’s famous as a low carb staple, but I can usually take it or leave it. However, there is something about […]
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Ok can I just make a confession here? Remember when I mentioned that paleo allows for an 80/20 way of eating where you’re eating paleo 80% of the time? Well lately friends I’ve kind of had this flipped and was not going to even mention it to you thinking I could pull the wool over […]
Banana Pancakes
As you may have guessed, I heart bananas. I also heart pancakes but they don’t heart me back so here is a healthier, yet still tasty version. Also I don’t love just any bananas. I love those brown, almost black, mushy ones that you’re thinking ‘maybe I should just throw away’. Wait! Don’t toss them! […]

Quick Vegetarian Pasta
I made this dish for my wife and I, we are both Type 2 Diabetics and so watch what we eat, although we could be doing a better job of it. The dish was easy to make and did not require any exotic ingredients, see the recipe below. I used only garlic as an aromatic […]
Orange is the new Moroccan Carrot Dip
Well Orange is the New Black (OINB) dropped into my Netflix queue just the other day. I haven’t opened it up cause I know I’ll just binge watch until the whole season is gone. In honor of my favorite color and OINB – here is one of my all time healthy living favorite recipes: MOROCCAN […]
