Jenny Castaneda
My name is Jenny and I live in Southern California with my husband D and our grain-free cat Mochi. I’ve embraced the Paleo lifestyle when I read about the numerous health benefits of eating real whole foods. A few weeks after making this transition I experienced positive effects such as increased energy, better sleep, no more bloating and heartburn.

When I am not in the kitchen whipping up a feast, I enjoy traveling, Broadway musicals, and swinging kettlebells.

Cooked low and slow, the flavors in chicken Afritada have time to marry and marinate to perfection. Give it a try! […]
