Hi guys… Remember me? Your friendly Paleo-food-blogging friend, Jessie…. It’s been a long time, I know. Three weeks is too long, and I hope it doesn’t happen again! All of my end-of-grad-school testing is complete, I’ve passed, and life has gotten real. Now I’m officially on the path to beginning a career & a new chapter of my life.

That means that out of the thousands of recipes submitted on their website over the past year… they chose one of mine! So humbling, &…

Jarred “pasta sauce” is one of my pantry staples~ for although I don’t eat pasta, I always keep sauce hand for making a quick meat sauce or serving over meatballs & veggies. Typically I go for the one with the “cleanest” ingredient list, and don’t inspect the nutrition label too…
