Spice Up Your Life

I'm taking it back to my middle school days with some Spice Girls

When you're feelin' sad and low

We will take you where you gotta go

Smiling dancing everything is free

All you need is positivity

Colors of the world

Spice up your life

Every boy and every girl

Spice up your life

People of the world

Spice up your life.... AHHHHH!

Here is my Paleo update... I have been loving the hunt for new recipes. I have discovered so many new spices I had never heard of. I love the fresh spices and garnishes! But they are definitely not cheap... well worth it though. This picture reminded me of the Spice Girls song above. And that's what we are doing... spicing up our meals.

Remember these bad boys? I had never cooked with these colorful beauties... I was scared! I wish the Pioneer Woman had a how to on how to cut a bell or red pepper. When I sliced them open this is what I saw. Don't they look angry... like they're screaming at me?!? I wanted to stop.

Luckily, I persevered and it turned into Paleo Meatloaf... Half were turned into meatloaf muffins and this was Tom's half. Definitely a keeper!

My man has a sweet tooth... I tell my kindergartners he is a cookie monster! To cure his cravings I tried to make some Caveman custard. Again I got to use our cute little Crate and Barrell dishes, which I LOVE! :) But the custard I did not love so much... its ok the hubby devoured both of them.

We went to a paleo potluck with some friends from Tom's crossfit gym. Here is our contribution... chicken veggie wraps. Good gracious these were good! So easy and fun to make.

Here is the mother of all recipes. Moroccan Chicken Casserole. This required spices I would never even try to pronounce. With a grated cauliflower base as a substitute for rice I was a bit nervous. But it was delicious! All of the flavors were amazing! It was a bit time consuming to cook but it was worth the time and effort.
Yes, I was scared before of these alien vegetables. But after a few weeks of new recipes I think I had the last laugh.... (sorry it's late)
