Rojo Chicken and Cucumber Salsa
I was totally pumped when my friend, Amy, blessed me with cucumbers from her garden. It was like the clouds parted and inspiration was born. I was dreaming up all the glorious concoctions I was meant to create …. Like a Nor Cal Cucumber Margarita, Shrimp Stuffed Cucumber Cups, Cucumber Ceviche – Ceviche?! SALSA!!! Now, […]
Cowboy Breakfast Scramble
Rise and shine, it’s time for breakfast! More often than not, eggs are on the menu at our house. It’s an Egg-cellent (sorry, I couldn’t help myself) and affordable way to get your protein fix. Taking very little time to prepare, you can whip up a scramble in less than 15 minutes. One of our […]

Eggplant Lasagna
I don’t know about you, but there’s only one thing that comes to mind when I think Eggplant – Eggplant Lasagna, BaBy. Before my Grain-Free days, I would slice up an Eggplant, dip it in egg and breadcrumbs, bake and then add it as a layer on my cheese and noodle filled lasagna (**gasp). NO […]
