Sometimes I force myself to go an extra day or two when I feel that I “need” more groceries. Why on earth would I do that? Well, it really gets my creativity going when I have to work with the remaining, seemingly miscellaneous items left in my kitchen to create a meal that my husband will actually want to eat!  Such as something as delicious as paleo bacon butternut squash soup.

This is an example of one of my totally creative experimental kitchen days. Boy, did all that work pay off! I tell people all the time who ask for my help with their paleo cooking that it’s so important, after you’ve mastered some paleo recipes, to come up with ones of your own.
