Paleo Valentine's Menu + {Walnut Encrusted Scallops}

You may have noticed the word "paleo" in the title of this blogpost. Let's just get this out there now: I am not paleo, nor do I ever plan to become paleo. I love chickpeas and quinoa and cheese waaaaaaaaaay too much!!!

Cheer Your Team On w/this {Chipotle Cheesy Corn Dip}

I had to get all my shopping done for the weekend and gameday festivities early because of an impending snow storm here in Colorado. We're supposed to get 16 - 30 inches in the next couple of days and not get above freezing for over a week. Brrrrrrrrrrsies!!
