Playing in the Kitchen

I finally got a spiralizer for Christmas, after 2-1/2 years on a paleo diet. The inner child in me is very pleased! Do you have one? It is super-fun! If you don’t have one, no worries. You can make zucchini noodles with a julienne peeler, or wider noodles with a regular vegetable peeler. Zucchini’s not picky.

The Importance of Seafood on a Healing Diet

As part of my healing protocol, I’ve made an effort to eat more seafood. This was a big switch for me. Although I grew up on Cape Cod, I hated seafood as a child. Now, I’ve come to love it. I’m still kind of amazed. Taste buds do change (with a little effort).

Why the effort? Both Dr. Terry Wahls (author of The Wahls Protocol) and Dr. Sarah Ballantyne (author of The Paleo Approach) recommend wild-caught seafood as an important part of our diet. This is because it’s the best natural source of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids.

A Quick Meal

This recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, including prep and cooking time. It cooks up in just one skillet, and it’s simply delicious. I’ve been making it every week!
