Super Bowl Eats…Paleo Style!

If you are looking for inspiration, here are some recipes for Super Bowl!!!!

This One Healthy Life

Happy Super Bowl Weekend, Everybody!

Other than the holidays (which go on for-ev-er!), nothing requires more delicious food than the Super Bowl. Football inspired eats and sweets are all over social media and television right now….Are you ready for some football?

As my diet slowly changes with my health issues, I must find new foods that will meet everyone’s needs and taste buds. Luckily, the Paleo realm is able to meet all of my families needs. Remember, Paleo doesn’t have to mean you have to eat meat, meat, and more meat. It is the absence of all grains and certain starchy vegetables…but more on that next time.

Since we are heading over to a friend’s house, I just need to bring some dishes that meet our needs, but still appeal to others that don’t share our ‘issues’….simple enough, right?

Patrick D. Smith dead at 87

Pulitzer Prize and Noble Prize-nominated author, Patrick D. Smith died on Sunday, January 26 at the age of 87.
“A Land Remembered” is a historical fiction novel about a family in Florida, spanning from 1858-1968. Mr. Rosen, president of the Rosen Hotels and Resort, was so inspired by this book, that he named one of his premier restaurants “A Land Remembered”. The cuisine at this restaurant celebrates classic Florida, using only the finest of ingredients such as Harris Ranch all Natural Prime Black Angus Beef. I have visited Rosen Shingle Creek Resort during video production starring celebrity chef Emily Ellyn in May, 2013, where I had an opportunity to meet fantastic staff and culinary artists of this signature restaurant.
Patrick D. Smith and his novel A Land Remembered legacy will continue.

Super Bowl XLVIII

On the Valentine’s Day Preview at the Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Winter Park, I saw this great display of footballs made from chocolate with Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos team logos . It immediately gave me an idea on how those chocolate creations could enhance next Sunday’s Super Bowl party. Can you imaging a full five pounds of awesomeness in each of the footballs in either dark or milk chocolate.

In addition, I found these chocolate cigars as a unique and original way to celebrate a win of your favorite team.
You can find it all at the Peterbrooke Chocolatier at 300 S Park Avenue in Winter Park.
