As I continue my quest to figure out what’s best for my family, as I’ve said, I’ve looked into Paleo a bit. I was just sent the book The Paleo Slow Cooker: Healthy, Gluten-free Meals the Easy Way to check out. The author is Arsy Vartanian and she also has the blog: RubiesandRadishes.com. As you can see from the picture above, I tried the Slow Cooker Paleo Dijon Ham. Next time I would either leave out the orange zest or use lest of it. It was too much of an orange flavor for me. One of the other recipes I really want to give a try is Provencal Vegetable Soup Paleo Style. There are a few recipes in the book that aren’t Slow Cooker, just an FYI.

Ingredients
- 5-6 lb ham
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Zest of 1 orange
- Pepper just before serving
Instructions
- Put ham in the slow cooker.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients, (except for pepper) making sure the honey and mustard are both well incorporated.
- Pour over ham in slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6 hours.
- Add pepper just before serving.













I recently got the book







The skaters all did a great job. My favorite part was the brothers in Brave. They were comical and I really like the way they made it work. Your children will really like the show. Buddy was very happy that he was able to go see Disney on Ice this time. Last year I took Cadence and her girl cousins, Aunt and Grandma as a special girl’s night and then the last Disney on Ice, all three of my kids were sick so we couldn’t go. From a pure entertainment standpoint, you and your kids will enjoy Disney on Ice. If you’re in the Chicago area, you can still catch a few shows at the United Center.
