We’ve had a very busy summer so far. I had a house full of kids with my step kids visiting and most days I didn’t get to brush my hair. Things have settled down and Crunchy Baby is growing into quite a character. He’s a lot more chilled than his sister but it’s still a […]
Paleo Mango Chicken
June 10, 2013 by ·
<Insert witty anecdote here> No, seriously, it’s been one of those days. I ended up hiding from my screaming babies with a pint of dairy free ice cream. Where are my bonbons???? When I did pull myself together, I managed to get dinner ready with a nice and simple dish that was also really yummy. […]
Paleo Pok Pok Wings
June 9, 2013 by ·
I must have a bit of PTSD from the three day hospital stay after Crunchy Baby arrived because every time I see bland food like plain boiled chicken fillet or plain beef broth, I want to run to my pantry and pour balsamic vinegar in my eyes. I don’t know why hospital nutritionists equate bland […]
Crunchy Mama’s Paleo Sesame Chicken (Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
May 23, 2013 by ·
Before we talk about my amazing paleo sesame chicken, here’s a little story. “Your inner feminist is showing!” I joked with a friend when we were caught up in a charged (but civil) internet discussion around feminism, gender stereotypes, children’s media representation of men and women and what it all means for “crunchy” families like […]

May 7, 2013 by ·
Wow, having an extra baby while you have a spirited toddler actually makes this exponentially harder instead of proportionally. Crunchy Baby No 2 has survived almost three weeks. We are not getting a lot of sleep here but we are otherwise very happy. My kitchen adventures are now greatly limited so I have to wait […]

March 31, 2013 by ·
Happy Easter, everyone! It has been a relaxing weekend however I did have to make a trip to Whole Foods to pick up a few little things… on Easter Sunday. Biggest mistake ever! It was a madhouse and I had old ladies trying to cut in front of me at the checkout line and another […]
Finger Lickin’ Good Twice-Cooked Wings (Paleo, Gluten Free)
March 15, 2013 by ·
I mentioned in my last post that I took my husband to see Willie Nelson on his birthday. It was pretty darn cool and Willie is still rocking it at almost 80 years old. I had a great time even though I was massively pregnant and sitting in the front row directly in front of […]
Garlic and Thyme Prime Rib Roast (Paleo, Gluten Free)
March 11, 2013 by ·
Some years ago when we didn’t have babies, the husband and I went to see Willie Nelson live in VA. It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to and we are repeating that tonight here in San Antonio. It is an indoor theater and we are in the second row seating so […]
Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi Fillets topped with a Coconut Cream Sauce (Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
March 6, 2013 by ·
OK so in my last post on the cream of chicken soup I’ve been nomming on all day, I said this is all we are having for dinner but I lied. I realized that I have these Mahi Mahi fillets sitting in the fridge that need to be cooked. And now that dinner time […]
