Mushroom N’ Salad
I’m pretty excited, this is the first dish I’ve cooked & blogged about in my new place — and let me tell you the lighting here is SO much better for photos! I’m eeking over this whole new place thing still. Next week I’ll have a photo-tour of my new kitchen up for you guys! That way you can take a peak and see what some of my essentials are, what my fridge looks like when it’s stocked and what I keep on hand in my cabinets 
But in the mean time — enjoy this new yummy side dish / light lunch. I love this dish. You can easily roast the mushrooms in the oven {like I’ve done here} or you can grill them when you’re making dinner!
And if you’re looking to make this more of a full-meal than a side dish, just add some chicken into the salad and boom, insta dinner! I like to serve 1 per person if it’s a side dish and if it’s lunch I like to serve 2 of them!

Put on your War Paint
I’ve been pretty MIA the last few days! Don’t worry, I haven’t moved to some private – remote location sipping iced coffee pool side {but hello, that’s great idea for a vacation!}.
I’ve been taking some much needed R & R since I handed in the book on Friday — and let me tell you, that was a BLAST to write, and I’m so excited to share it with you guys!!
However the rumors about the book are true — I was completely fueled by Starbucks, Fall Out Boy and Chocolate. What does that mean exactly? I was highly caffeinated and ready for a dance party the ENTIRE time I was writing / photographing the book. HA! That’s pretty freaking epic if you ask me! Or it’s just very Liz-Like….
So my R&R was more just to get my recipe-creating-brain back on the right track… And good news, he’s back! There’s just some not-so-cool news to go with that awesome news.
Most of you guys know I’m moving and well with that comes packing and that means most of my awesome kitchen-gadgets {like my mixing bowls} and pretty blog-worthy-dishes are all packed up into my 10 “kitchen” labeled boxes {And umm….I’m still packing up the kitchen …. go team?}.
So because all of my awesome-sauce stuff is packed and my house is a hot mess of boxes, I’m going to hold off on posting any recipes until after we move in {we move in a week from today, so you don’t have to wait too long I promise!}.
How much of a hot mess is my apartment? Erm in my mind it’s pretty chaotic and scary, Mr. Not So Paleo being the champ and veteran mover he is, isn’t phased by the stacks of boxes at all. Primal Puggle is in a love/hate relationship with the ordeal and Evil Primal Kitty is having a blast …
To sum-up today’s exciting random rambling:
• Book, all handed in — Yay!
• Moving, can’t blog recipes till post-move in – Boo!
• Shiny new kitchen to cook in next week – Yay!!!!!
However I thought before I go, I’d give you a little illustration as to how I’m feeling about my current apartment:
And because I’m moving with Mr. Not So Paleo, my sister and her girlfriend….I figure moving advice like this for the four of us is needed:
Happy Thursday!
