  • Spaghetti Squash with Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce

    Spaghetti Squash with Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce

    It is officially Day 8 of the 21-Day Sugar Detox! The first few days were a little rough and I felt like I could never quite get satisfied or full with anything I ate. I was also exhausted and had a bit of a headache. But I’ve been feeling a lot better now. I never…

  • 21 Day Sugar Detox and Steak with Raspberry & Blue Cheese Sauce

    21 Day Sugar Detox and Steak with Raspberry & Blue Cheese Sauce

    Sugar detox and a recipe with blue cheese and raspberries don’t really go together, but that’s just too bad. I am currently on Day 1 Level 3 of the 21-Day Sugar Detox. Level 3 is for those who already follow a Paleo/Primal diet. The purpose of this detox is two-fold: 1.) I really feel like…

  • Asparagus & Ham Frittata

    Asparagus & Ham Frittata

    While Joe and I were in Austin, I had two different frittatas  (check out the posts here and here) and was determined to make a recipe at home. I’ve always been scared to make one because for some reason taking a pan on the stove and putting it in the oven seemed hard. Really I’m not…

  • Sausage, Sweet Potato & Kale Hash

    Sausage, Sweet Potato & Kale Hash

    I found a really delicious chicken sausage at Trader Joe’s that doesn’t have any added sugar and is fully cooked. Their Smoked Apple Chardonnay chicken sausage inspired me to think of something different to make instead of just grilling them up like we usually do. I knew I wanted to incorporate sweet potatoes (of course!)…

  • Mostly Paleo Austin Recap Part 2

    Mostly Paleo Austin Recap Part 2

    I promised I would finish my recap of our recent adventure to Austin, so here it is. A little delayed, but still here! One night while we were there I wanted to tried a fancier place. We chose (or should I say that I chose…) to go to the Salty Sow. It was a really…

  • Mostly Paleo Austin Recap Part 1

    Mostly Paleo Austin Recap Part 1

    Joe and I just got back from Austin, Texas and had a blast! It was filled with lots of good food, great weather, exploring downtown, hiking, paddle boarding, shopping and catching up with a friend. I promised to provide some food highlights from the trip, so let’s just get to it…  The first place I…

  • My Favorite Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

    My Favorite Roasted Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

    I am officially obsessed with sweet potatoes (hence the name of the website). 🙂 If I could eat them for every meal, I probably would. Actually, I definitely would. I try to limit them to a few times a week (which is really limiting them for me). My favorite way to eat them is by…

  • Ham, Mushroom and Spinach Omelet

    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

    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!)

    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…

  • New Product – The Avocado Saver!

    One of the things we want to accomplish with pattavina.party is to show our readers some unique but useful cooking products.   So with our very first product listing, I wanted to introduce the Avo Saver.  Their are a number of Paleo recipes that use avocados and more often than not, you won’t be using the entire avocado.  So…

  • Pork, Orange and Spinach Salad

    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…
