Jamie's Thoughts: Weekly Cook Up #3

Roasted chicken breast with San Pedro Fish Market Seasoning

Doesn't that chicken look amazing?  It's thanks in large part to the San Pedro Fish Market Seasoning I used.  This chicken will be used to top my salads through the week.  Welcome to another weekly cook up done by yours truly....

Jamie's Thoughts: Weekly Cook Up #2

This week's cook up was a quick one because my boyfriend's family is coming into town and we'll be spending time with them.  I didn't want to overcook.  I started out by sauteing this yummy kale I got in my Imperfect Produce Box.  

Fagan Eats Paleo Recipe: Celery Root Puree

If you look at my posts lately, you'll see that I'm on a big puree kick.  I just love how easy they are to make and how comforting they are to eat!  I am a big lover of mashed potatoes and I'm always in search of a good substitute.  Celery root is great in that regard. 

Jamie's Thoughts: Paleo Burnout and How I Turned it Around

I admit it--I'm late to the game on this one.  Many of you in the Paleo community have long since discovered what a useful tool Melissa Joulwan's book, Well Fed is.  I am in love.  Seriously.  This book is awesome.

Danielle Walker's book, Against All Grain is what first turned me onto Paleo.  I adore her book and her inspiring story.  That book will always hold a special place in my heart for introducing me to this thing called Paleo.  So will her Real Deal Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I also love food.  I hesitate to call myself a "foodie" because I think that term's overdone.  But I was a "foodie" long before the term even existed.  The amount of time I spend thinking about it, researching it, and just generally immersed in it--is probably abnormal.  I knew that to sustain this lifestyle I was going to need to make flavorful, creative dishes to keep me inspired.  I was so worried about falling into a Paleo rut, that I ended up with a little bit of Paleo burnout.
