Today marks day one of the Paleo Transformational Challenge at our box, Desert CrossFit. And Tom is doing it with me! I never thought I’d see the day. But honestly, if I’m going to succeed in this, he really has to be on board. Otherwise, I will come home several times a week to things I would never buy on my own. Like Oreos, Coke, Triscuits, brie cheese… the list goes on and on. Today while he was at {Read More}
Jerk Shrimp Tacos with Melon Salsa
February 20, 2015 By
Jerk shrimp tacos with melon salsa… yummmm! The pairing of spicy shrimp and cool melon is a match made in heaven. This combination makes a mean taco, but it can just as easily be served over a bed of baby greens. It is very easy to make and is just as appropriate for a weeknight meal as it is for a dinner party. And shopping for all the ingredients was simple at Trader Joe’s! When I made this recipe this week, I worked on {Read More}

This delish and authentic gumbo recipe has stood the test of time in the Tabler family! Did I ever mention I’m from Louisiana? Yes, indeed, I am!

Chicken and Waffles — Easiest Appetizer Ever!
February 2, 2015 By
This Chicken & Waffles Appetizer is seriously out of this world! I don’t often eat fried chicken. Or waffles. But I’ve always wondered what all the hoopla was about Chicken and Waffles. So when we dined at 5 Napkin Burger in NYC recently, I decided to take a calorie splurge. I actually decided I would eat exactly half of what was on my plate. That was a total fail! Oh my goodness, it was good! I had told the waitress I {Read More}
