I’m Tara and I’m about to spend my 18th Valentine’s Day with my amazing husband! The pre-paleo tradition was that my husband would leave a bag full of chocolate and a gushy card waiting for me when I woke up. The post-paleo tradition is to feast on delicious, homemade food…starting with breakfast! I cannot wait to spoil the people I love with a day full of delicious food!
Strawberries & Cream No-oatmeal, Coconut Crepes, Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Supper is my favourite holiday meal to plan because I can go all out! Delicious, flavour-filled dishes that have been prepared with love!
Maple Balsamic Salmon, Zucchini Fettuccine with No-fredo Sauce, Orange Ginger Chicken Drumsticks
Let’s face it…Valentine’s Day is all about the sweet stuff. For us, it’s gotta be chocolate!
