Life adventures have brought me to the Windy City, Chi-town, the Second City, yep, to Chicago.

Before I left Austin though, I had a few adventures as a personal paleo chef. A classmate from Crossfit Central and I got to talking about food, how food is important to CrossFitters, and how much we both hated cooking -wait, only one of us hated cooking. The other one actually really loved to cook.

So for a few great weeks, I cooked and he ate. And I think it's safe to say he ate pretty well.

Week 1/Trial Meal:
Pan roasted chicken with a white wine sauce and sauteed kale with shallots, almonds, and coconut milk

Week 2:
Zucchini "pasta" with chimichurri sauce
Stuffed cabbage rolls in a spicy tomato sauce - stuffed with ground turkey, pork, eggplant, zucchini, onions, and garlic
Pan roasted chicken and kale (back by popular demand)

Week 3:
Chicken Broccoli stir-fry in almond butter sauce
Turnip latkes with crispy braised lamb
Zucchini bacon frittata and roasted butternut squash
Almond-crusted chicken tenders and Sicilian style Swiss chard

So if anyone out there wants to look like Mark Sisson but hates to cook, I would love to cook for you!

And why would you want me to cook, you ask?
  • $10 per dish is a steal
  • All dishes are made from scratch, including components such as chicken stock and tomato sauce.
  • I like to dance while I cook.

That last one always makes the food taste better.
