About Me

Starting a blog was essential for me. I have been eating Paleo for over 2 years now! In addition to experimenting daily with new recipes, I am an interior designer and own a HUGE consignment store in Kalamazoo, MI. I am also an avid gardener and treasure hunter. Did I mention I love a great bargain?! A piece of furniture that needs a coat of paint, or a found object that screams to be repurposed. "Reuse, repurpose and recycle" is not just a cliche, it is a way of life! I have searched for a word that encompasses MY life. Maybe it has not yet been created. Maybe this blog will help me find it.

Holy Guacamole!

This was one delicious Paleo meal!  Grilled steak with pearl onions (I didn't care for the onions), homemade spicy guacamole, and butternut squash and apples.  Both recipes are quite simple:

Spicy Guacamole:

3 Avocados
Fresh lime juice from 1 lime
1 large tomato, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/4 t cayenne
1/4 t cumin
1 T fresh cilantro
1/4 t sea salt

Smash avocados and lime juice together.  Stir in all other ingredients.  Add avocado pits back into guacamole to keep fresh.  Squeeze any remaining lime juice over guacamole.  Let sit at room temperature for a half hour before serving.  Store leftovers with pits and seal completely with plastic wrap in fridge.


Butternut Squash and Apples:

1/2 butternut squash, chopped
2 apples
Olive oil
cinnamon

Toss squash with olive oil in small baking dish.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Add apples and stir together.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Bake for 10 more minutes.
