Thoughts of the Day
I’m not sure how it happens but time seems to slip away, one day it’s Monday and the next it’s Thursday. We get so busy in our lives, that it’s easy to miss days.

If you have any tips on how to appreciate each day, please let me know!

The Saturday Market is Open!
The downtown Salem Saturday Market opened on March 4 to rain, snow flurries, and 23 mph wind gusts. Even though traffic was light, there were some brave individuals that came out to support those of us who set up shop (aka our canopies and wares). We had cranberry hand pies, lemon pound cake, mini muffins (made with almond butter and applesauce), and bagels.
Gift Cards!
This has nothing to do with treats, unless you want to know how to gift them to a friend or family member. You can now purchase gift cards for To Go Paleo through Square. Redeem them at the To Go Paleo booth at the Salem Farmers Markets on Thursday in West Salem, Saturday in downtown Salem, or Monday at the hospital market in Salem.
Christmas Cookies
These are the perfect cookies to leave out for Santa, and they are better for him because they are gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free. Next time, I’ll use bigger cookie cutters though. These almost fell through the cooling rack.
Paleo Marionberry Hand Pies
These hand pie treats are filled with a spiced marionberry jam, made from locally grown marionberries. To see all the ingredients used in these, go to this page. These are the perfect size to take and eat on the go!
Paleo Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies
These cookies are treats that are delicious, nutritious and made with locally grown Oregon hazelnuts. Combine anything with hazelnuts, especially locally grown ones, and it will be delicious!
Oops!
Sometimes things don’t go quite right and the finished product doesn’t look anything like the picture in the cookbook. That’s what happened to these Hazelnut Chocolate Cookies. Even though they didn’t look very nice, they still tasted delicious. I mean, how can you go wrong combining chocolate and hazelnuts? Am I right??
