Ham, Mushroom and Spinach Omelet
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Joe and I stayed at Hotel Deco in downtown Omaha to enjoy a nice relaxing evening away from home. We had reservations at the Zin Room and I could not wait for our little in-town weekend getaway. Unfortunately we were both underwhelmed with the whole experience. Food was pricey, service was…

Crockpot Italian Shredded Pork
I am absolutely in love with the crockpot. Having dinner waiting for me when I get home after a long day couldn’t get any better. And this recipe is delicious! Reminds me a lot of Italian Sausage and Peppers. For Christmas, Joe got me a Groupon to Omaha Power Yoga. I’ve done yoga off and…

Paleo Beer Dinner (Well…the food is Paleo!)
A few weeks ago we celebrated Joe’s birthday. Last year we were living in Texas and went to a 5-course beer dinner at a local brewery to celebrate. It was delicious but definitely not Paleo. This year instead of going out to dinner, I decided to surprise Joe and create a Paleo-inspired 4-course beer dinner…

Pork, Orange and Spinach Salad
A few weeks ago Joe, and I sold our house in The Woodlands, TX. We moved back to Omaha, NE from Texas in July and had our house on the market for about 7 months. It was a long roller coaster ride, but the house is now sold. Luckily we have an awesome family who…

Coq au Riesling (Rosemary Chicken and Veggies in a White Wine Sauce)
I adapted this recipe from one I found in Good Housekeeping. It’s a yummy twist on Coq au Vin that incorporates dry Riesling with chicken, bacon, rosemary and vegetables slowly cooked in a Dutch oven over the stove. This is definitely a weekend meal because there is a little bit of prep time and the chicken…

Great for those who are visual people (like my husband!). It’s a good starting point for those who are on the…

Roasted Rosemary Carrots, Beets and Turnips
I have a tendency to get into recipe ruts from time to time. I end up making the same thing week after week or some variation of the same thing…meat, Brussels sprouts, green beans, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and avocados. These are all things that I love to eat, but my husband definitely let’s me…

What is Paleo?
The concept of the Paleo diet is to replicate how our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate prior to the Agricultural Revolution that introduced cereal grains and the standard American diet (SAD). Paleo focuses on eating meats, vegetables, fruits and healthy fats. The diet restricts all grains, dairy, sugar and processed foods. What I really like about Paleo…

Kacie’s Story (Part 5)
One of my major hobbies is cooking and baking, especially for others. On most days, I would rather stay home and cook dinner with my husband, family or friends as opposed to going out to dinner. Since it’s “Freebie Friday” I thought I’d share a few recipes that I enjoy and are healthy. The picture…

Kacie’s Story (Part 4)
As I mentioned in “My Story” here, I met with a nutritionist and psychologist to help me overcome my eating disorder. One of the main reasons that meeting with them worked was because of the accountability. I recorded my meals/calories, wrote down if I binged or under-ate and helped figure out what happened that day or…

Kacie’s Story (Part 3)
Among the positive things that stemmed from my eating disorder, is my view on the importance of health, specifically eating right and exercising. I feel that is extremely important to take care of our bodies and to treat them like the temples that God created. Today, I would like to challenge you to take one…
