Weekly Paleo Menu- Vol. 1
We are now a couple of weeks into our CFR Whole30 challenge! We have done Paleo/Whole30 before, but this time it just seems different. I think it is because I have a handful of great go-to Paleo recipes already, and then this time I decided to order a couple of cookbooks to help change it up! A friend asked if …
Favorite Paleo/Whole 30 Recipes
We are starting another Whole 30 challenge with our CrossFit community next week, and it’s stirred up a lot of conversations about our favorite Paleo recipes. When we are “on”, we eat a close-to-Paleo diet during the week, and then on the weekend we usually do a mix of Paleo and a few “bad” meals {aka Chuy’s ?}. We were “on” …
Chicken Noodle Soup
After Christmas, we got sick with The Worst Stomach Bug of All Times Ever. Only Lila Mei escaped the wrath this time- it knocked the rest of us out for dayzzzz. At the end of our recovery, the only thing that sounded good was my Momma’s Chicken Noodle Soup. I {finally} showered, then dragged myself to the store to get …
Lemon Bliss Homemade Ice Cream
I am not a huge ice cream fan. I like it, but I usually don’t love it. If I’m choosing desserts, I would choose a piece of rich caramel cake or a cupcake over ice cream. That is, before Blue Bell Lemon Bliss entered my life! It is one of their newer flavors and is only sold in the summer. …
My Baked “Ziti”
I have a go-to recipe that I take to anyone that had a baby, etc… it is just so easy and makes a ton! With one recipe I am able to make a 9×13 pan for a friend and an 8×8 pan for us to have that night! The original recipe came from Food Network, but I have since changed …

I forgot to take a before picture, but I made these little appetizers to take to a Halloween party last weekend and they were a hit! I couldn’t find a recipe exactly like what I was thinking, so I just made this one up. I thought I better blog about them before I forgot what I did! They were super …
Sausage Black-Eyed Pea Stew
I love soups and stews when it is cold outside. My mom and sister recommended this Sausage Black-Eyed Pea Stew and ohmyword. It was so good! I couldn’t get in touch with my sis the day I made it, and I wasn’t sure of the exact recipe, so I sort of made it up! I got close to hers but …
Holy Cow Cake {the recipe}
I’ll be linking up with Kelly’s Korner today to share a favorite dessert! I honestly don’t have just one favorite, but if I had to pick, this would be it! My mom made up this recipe for Holy Cow Cake, and it has become a family favorite. Beware, it is VERY RICH, which is what I love about it. Ohmyword, …
Homemade Salsa
I made this the other day for the first time in a while. I’d forgotten how easy it was and how good it is compared to store-bought salsa! I got this recipe from a friend at my old school. It quickly became a favorite among the teachers and we always made sure she brought it to our potlucks. It really is …
It’s not always fancy.
Baked Beans from a can + sautéed yellow squash + Crescent Roll Hot Dogs = EASY summer meal! My mom is an amazing cook. I grew up eating the best of the best- homemade everything. From the best chicken fried steak in Texas to homemade rolls and my all-time favorite coconut meringue pie, my momma’s cooking is uh-mazing. I didn’t …

They were {of course} a big part of Jack’s Flapjack party menu. I hope you enjoy making these for your friends and family soon! Cookie’s {my mom} Breakfast Casserole …
