Vancouver Trip Recap
Spending super quality time with my girl Cassy Joy (of Fed + Fit) and with all of YOU who joined us Saturday at the book signing was the cherry of my entire weekend in Vancouver!
We left LOTS of signed copies of Practical Paleo 2nd edition in HARD COVER and the Fed + Fit book at the Indigo on Granville (you can call for one from anywhere in Canada I'm sure!).
You should check out our hashtag from the trip, but if you're not already watching my Instagram Stories, what are you waiting for?! There's so much more that I shared there – delicious hotel room breakfasts each day, the behind the scenes of our gluten free baked goods crawl, travel tips for staying healthy while on the road or at the airport… I highly suggest you start watching!
Balanced Bites Spices – Easy Recipe
I love this easy peasy recipe (slightly edited from Instagram user @alyssastwobites) for roasted potatoes using my Diner blend!
Roast 1″ cubed russets with avocado oil and #bbspices Diner blend. Bake for 40 minutes at 375F (rotate tray halfway through), then finish at 450F for another 25 min (rotate the tray halfway through again).
Make sure you're following our Balanced Bites Spices Instagram account for more recipe inspiration!
