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.

What's for dinner?

Paleo Pork Chops with Cauliflower "Rice" and Asparagus
(ingredients are below in bold type)


Pork Chops:
Marinate chops in 1 T olive oil and 1 T World Market Chicago Chop & Steak Seasoning (a blend oregano, black pepper and garlic powder will do if you don't have that bottle of seasoning).
Grill 2-3 minutes on each side,  or until an interior temp of 170 degrees.
Remove from grill, cover with foil, and let chops "rest" for 5-8 minutes.

Cauliflower "Rice":
Chop 1 head of cauliflower in a food processor until it looks like rice.
Microwave "rice" for 3 minutes on high.
Mash with the back of a spatula until "squished" down into the bowl.
Heat 1 T Olive Oil in saute pan over medium heat.
Add the rice to the pan and saute with 2 t curry, 2 green onions chopped, 1/4 t cayenne, and ground pepper.
Stir constantly until golden brown (approx. 5 mins)
Serve HOT.

Asparagus:
Bring water to a boil in a pan on the stove.
Add asparagus and boil until tender, but still slightly firm.

TIPS:
T = Tablespoon
t = teaspoon
