We are excited to welcome Tina Turbin to the Cooking with Mom’s Choice kitchen. Tina is also the award-winning author of the Danny the Dragon, a series of books and Apps for children.

Most of us know Tina through her paleomazing.com website and multi-award-winning paleo living cookbooks. Throughout the year, Tina is going to share some of her seasonal favorites.

For her first recipe, Tina chose Pumpkin Recipe Medley. A hearty recipe that will add some color – and lots of flavor – to our winter table.

Omazing! I love the various ways we can work with the colors of seasonal squashes. I use a variety of simple items and the flavor is just popping. This is so easy and flavorful!

About Tina Turbin

Tina is a paleo-passionate foodie who loves hanging out with family and good friends. For her, sleep is boring and she lives for her time in the kitchen.

In a nutshell, I’m a cookbook-collecting, recipe-developing junkie, and I live in the kitchen. I love food and have a blast plating my creations and then testing my photograph skills, which is an ongoing learning experience in itself. I’m hooked on farmers’ markets, traveling, eating healthy and hiking until my legs scream at me. I love to help others through my helpful information posts and my eBooks. I care about others, have fun, and sleeping is just plain boring.

Tina is a mom of three who enjoys helping others customize the paleo diet for their personal needs and for those who need or want it. It’s easy to keep up with Tina via her websites and on social, too.
