My oldest daughter challenged her little sisters to a Chopped/Master Chef Jr competition. They had to use clementines, dates, and toasted coconut to create "unique, creative, and delicious snacks." They then explained their dish while she tasted and critiqued. What a creative way for her to get little sisters to make her food. I'm impressed #kids #kidsinthekitchen #daughters #masterchefjunior #healthysnacks #glutenfree #paleo

I always have frozen homemade bone broth on hand, but since our youngest has double ear infections and will have to be on a round of antibiotics, I'm immediately preparing more broth to replace the ones I'll be putting into soup tonight. Along with her ear infections, we found out her second set of ear tubes came out, meaning we might have to go for a third round...meanwhile, I plan on increasing her probiotic, colostrum, raw honey, and broth intake to minimize the negative e

On this Sunday Prepday, I made food for my gang for the week, as well as plenty to share with my mom. Since my dad is in the hospital recovering from a heart valve replacement, we are doing what we can to help lessen the stress. Paleo sloppy Joe's, paleo salmon cakes/patties (pan fried in coconut oil), and clementine and zaatar oven-roasted drumsticks. #paleo #sundayprepday #preppingfortheweek #prepforsuccess #tunapattiestoo #simpleandhealthifiedsloppyjoeandcabbagenoodles #ch

I love when accidents turn out to be good things! Last night, while watching Whiplash with the hubby, I put broccoli florets in the oven to roast, forgot to get the timer going, and got really into the movie. By the time I got up and realized the broccoli florets were still in the oven, they got a good char on them. BUT, they turned out so delicious because they were crunchy and fun-sized, and the pink Himalayan salt I sprinkled on them prior to roasting added to the snacky f

This shredded carrot/raisin/orange juice salad is one that my mom and Safta used to make for us when we were little, so it reminds me of my childhood, especially of my after school snacks. Not sure where the origins of this sweet and refreshing salad are from, but in Israel (where both my parents grew up), my mom and dad had it a lot as kids. In addition to it being healthy and delicious, it's super simple to make: shredded carrots (shred to your liking manually or in a food

I never miss an opportunity to make (and devour) simple roasted vegetables. This is one of my comfort foods. Add a healthy protein (like grass fed beef, grilled fish, oven-roasted chicken, pastured eggs), and high-quality fat (ex. avocado, coconut oil, nuts/seeds), and voila, you've got yourself a fantastically healthy meal! Simply salted and roasted in the oven on 400 degrees F for 30 minutes. Simple is perfect! #roastedvegetables #easydoesit #simple #glutenfree #paleo #meal

Another ❄️snowday ❄️ which means another day to keep the monkeys occupied and helping in the kitchen. They asked for pancakes, and pancakes they shall make: gluten free and Paleoish pancakes made with coconut flour, eggs, organic whole milk, and honey (to see the recipe I adapted from, go to nourishingdays.com). These pancakes go perfectly with Kerrygold grassfed butter and maple syrup or raw honey. The smoothie is made with frozen organic berries, organic spinach, hemp heart
