Creamy Chicken and Asparagus Bake

October 11, 2017October 18, 2017by Brent Schrader1 Comment

Now that we’ve officially entered fall, we’ve been craving heartier meals. It feels off though, considering the weather has been in the mid 80s and humid here in Washington, D.C. That said, we wanted to put together a one-pot meal that would be filling as well as provide leftovers for a few days.

This creamy chicken and asparagus bake does just that. There was minimal clean up, which is always fantastic, and it allowed us to integrate vegetables in an easy way. We hope you enjoy this new recipe!

Breakfast Taco Bowl

October 4, 2017October 3, 2017by Brent Schrader1 Comment

In college, pizza was a perfect breakfast food. I never tried breakfast tacos, but breakfast burritos were amazing when we had them at home. This week is my first attempt at taking care of Otto without the help of Heather (she’s away at a work conference), so we planned a recipe that would take some of the meal planning off my plate for the week.

This is kind of a deconstructed breakfast burrito, and the plantain chips gives it the crunch of a taco. If you include dairy in your diet, feel free to also serve this with high-quality cheese and/or sour cream. Sliced jalapeños are great, too!

Roasted Tomato and Olive Mediterranean Salad

September 20, 2017September 19, 2017by Heather SchraderLeave a comment

As summer turns to fall, I find myself wanting roasted things—Roasted Adobo Chicken, Roasted Root Vegetables, etc. But, as is usual for the Mid-Atlantic region, we still have warm and humid days occurring regularly. So, cold salads still hold their appeal for me.

This recipe takes deliciously roasted tomatoes and olives and blends them, chilled, with refreshing cucumber and artichoke. It seemed only natural to take a mediterranean turn, and somehow it feels like the perfect late-summer/early-autumn side dish. We hope you enjoy it!

Zucchini Fritters

September 6, 2017September 5, 2017by Heather Schrader4 Comments

We recently hosted a brunch for a group of friends so they could meet Otto and we could spend time catching up with each other. Everyone brought something to share and it was a lot of fun. We served bacon and sausage, someone brought an egg bake, someone brought fruit, and someone even made cinnamon buns!

One of our friends also brought a large zucchini from her garden. I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to cook with it. Brent and I agreed we didn’t want to simply make zoodles. A homegrown zucchini deserves to be made into something special. It was so large, I was able to make two recipes in fact! We will post the second one another time. For now, we hope you enjoy this super simple recipe for fritters—a delicious snack or side dish for any meal.

10 Family-Friendly Paleo Recipes

August 23, 2017by Heather SchraderLeave a comment

Our first summer as parents is coming to a close. So, I thought it might be fun to share a round-up of recipes that is focused on bringing parents and their kids together. I’m sure you know by now that getting kids into the kitchen to help prepare meals is a great way to help them establish life-long healthy eating habits. But did you know the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has put together a handy-dandy reference sheet of parenting tips for involving your children in meal prep?

Otto is just over 12 weeks old, so we have quite a long wait ahead of us before he can start helping make meals. But, it’s never too early to plan ahead, right? Assuming the world doesn’t end before he turns 2, I’ll be coming back to this post as well as referencing some of our favorite cookbooks, like Eat Like a Dinosaur, Nom Nom Paleo, Paleo Takeout, and Real Life Paleo, for ideas on how to get him involved.

Without further ado, here is a collection of recipes that are delicious and fun to make as a family! (Plus, at the end, a bonus list of my three favorite lactation cookie recipes for breastfeeding moms like myself.)
