Post-Baby Freezer Meals Update
Now less than 2 weeks away from our baby’s due date, I think I may be done stocking up the freezer. It’s pretty full and my energy is starting to slowly diminish. It’s been a battle just keeping up with regular cooking, let alone additional cooking. I feel pretty good about what we have stocked…

Grilled Curry Maple-Mustard Chicken
During the summer, Joe grills pretty much every night. I have been avoiding the oven as much as possible during our 100 degree days. Being pregnant doesn’t really help with the heat either! Luckily, Joe really likes grilling and has gotten a few staples nailed down. Chicken is one of them. This glaze is so…

Grilled Smoked Paprika Potatoes
Since the weather has slowly but steadily been creeping up, Joe and I have been grilling as much as possible to avoid turning the oven on. And when I say Joe and I, I really mean Joe since I never touch the grill… My Mom got us this Weber grill basket maybe 4 years ago…

Post-Baby Freezer Meals
Now that I’ve hit the 30 week mark (what??!!) I’ve gotten serious about planning out some meals I can prep and put in the freezer for when Thing 3 makes his debut. My goal is to make 2-3 meals each week, label with the date and instructions, and freeze. I feel like this will make…

What I Ate Today
Time for another fabulous “What I Ate Today” post! Entering the third trimester and I’m still feeling good physically and able to eat pretty healthy the majority of the time. My willpower is slowly becoming what it once was before pregnancy which is nice. Breakfast was two fried eggs with hot sauce, avocado, strawberries and…

Sausage and Egg Quesadillas
I’m way past due for a recipe post! Before starting the Paleo diet, I almost always ordered quesadillas at Mexican restaurants. Now my go-to is usually fajitas, a salad or tacos with gluten-free corn tortillas on occasion. I found these awesome non-GMO, sprouted corn tortillas at our grocery store and devoured them. Unfortunately I haven’t…

Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
Joe introduced me to what we always called “fries with hamburger” when we first started dating. Basically it was a bag of frozen waffle fries cooked until crispy topped with cooked ground beef and shredded cheese, then broiled. It was delicious! I’ve mixed it up over the years and used the all-natural frozen sweet potato…

The Best Bacon Hashbrowns and 20 Weeks!
Joe found this awesome recipe in Esquire magazine. I really didn’t change up the recipe much so they get all the credit for this one. And I guess Joe gets some credit for persuading me to make it! I believe you could sub sweet potatoes for this to make it more Paleo-friendly, however I haven’t…

Asparagus and Bacon Quiche with Spaghetti Squash Crust
I’m obsessed with spaghetti squash (if you can’t tell by my growing collection of recipes that use it). It’s one of the simplest winter squashes to prepare. So much easier than butternut squash which you have to peel and chop before cooking. I can put a whole spaghetti squash in the oven for about 45…

Paleo Weekly Meal Planning
I’m a super planner when it comes to most everything in my life (maybe a little too much) and when it comes to meal planning, I make no exceptions. It’s so important for me to have a plan in place, make one trip to the Farmer’s Market and one to the grocery store on Saturday…

BBQ Pork Pizza with Spaghetti Squash Crust and Second Trimester Updates
Things have been going much, much better in the symptom, food and exercise department compared to how I felt throughout the first trimester. I’ve had a much healthier appetite and have been able to cook a lot more than I was in the beginning. I still have my indulgences but sticking to the Paleo or…

Bacon and Butternut Squash Egg Casserole
I am officially obsessed with any kind of egg bake. It’s just so easy to clean out my fridge and throw leftover cooked veggies and meat into a bowl with eggs and spices, bake in a casserole dish and call it good! The combo of sweet butternut squash and salty bacon is delicious. Add in…
