Steve and I went to New York the first week of July and ate ourselves silly. We made a few trips to the gelato stands, and I totally fell in love with the pistachio gelato. I had to come home and make a cleaned-up Dairy Free Pistachio Ice Cream. (Or “mustachio”, like my 3-year-old calls …

I feel like I created a unicorn here with this grilled eggplant recipe. It’s easy, quick (even quicker if you make the ricotta ahead of time), doesn’t require an oven/stove (yay, summer grilling!), and is paleo, low-carb/keto, AND vegan. The fact that it’s vegan was totally an accident. If you’ve spent more than 5 minutes …
Last month while we were in Idaho, we went to Noodles & Co for dinner. I was happy to see that they offered zoodles as a replacement for pasta in most of their dishes! I tried their Thai Green Curry Zoodle Bowl and loved it so much, I whipped up a copycat version to make …
Today is a great day, my friends. Steve and I are leaving on a red-eye to New York City tonight to spend a few days there for an early anniversary getaway. I can’t tell you how excited I am. Summertime takes it toll on me REALLY quickly since I’m not one of those moms who …
I’ll get to this amazeballs roasted salmon in a second. If you’ve been hanging around here for a while you’ll know a few things about me. . .
I can’t tell you how excited I am about these paleo cookies. AND the cookbook it came from. Normally I’m not a huge fan of paleo chocolate chip cookies because the texture is usually way off, which makes me sad — particularly because chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. This recipe is super, though — …
Pad Thai has been on our family’s favorite dinner list for a couple of years now, and the kids always do a happy dance when they find out I’ve made it. I’ve been meaning to test out a paleo pad Thai on them and just did it recently. Only one of my kids likes zucchini …
This is one of those recipes where I’m like, “NAT. WHY DID THIS TAKE YOU SO LONG?!” Vegan queso or cashew “cheeze” sauce has been floating around the Internet for a few years, but I was always doubtful that it would be worth making. Or that it would taste good. You’ll love this Cashew Nacho …
This Sauteed Green Beans Recipe will change your mind on vegetables The first time I made these, I needed a quick side dish for company who was coming for dinner and started cooking from the hip. I don’t have a lot of green bean recipes (for obvious reasons) and I didn’t have time to cook …
I’ve been on a quasi keto kick lately and dabbling in some low-carb dessert action. (Mostly eating keto chocolate. Thanks Lily’s.) After such a great response for the White Chocolate Raspberry Fat Bombs I shared last year, I wanted to make another kind of fat bomb — a chocolate version. Keto chocolate treats are super …
Remember the little cheese crisps I made to crumble over my Creamy Paleo Mushroom Soup with Bacon? Well, it turns out those little cheese crisps, made extra large, make REALLY good keto tortillas. Well, technically taco shells since they’re crispy. Since breakfast tacos are kind of a thing lately, I couldn’t resist trying these out …
It’s possible to make a big batch of sweet potato hash browns without babysitting them at the stove! My oven method mimics frying hash browns so you can easily make them for a crowd. Crispy Sweet Potato Hash After spending so many years trying to make hash browns on the stove, I finally figured out …
For someone who LOVES a good burger, I have a surprisingly small stash of burger recipes on my site. I’ve had an idea for an ultimate mushroom burger for a while now and this recipe turned out even better than I hoped!
This strawberry cobb salad was a hit with the bacon and candied nuts and strawberry balsamic vinaigrette. You can easily make it Whole30 friendly by using plain roasted nuts and compliant bacon!
Have you ever grilled melon? It intensifies and caramelizes the natural sugars and adds a little smokiness. It’s divine.
This recipe was originally an idea I had for my last book, but no matter how much flavor you add to them, steamed carrots are just…. meh. Roasted carrots? Way, way better.
My husband ate a few spoonfuls of this Keto Roasted Tomato Jalapeno Cheddar Soup and declared that it tasted like queso. I completely agree. It comes together so quickly and easily — perfect for a weeknight.
This is one of my favorite spring salads — bacon and blackberries are such a great combination. Make extra hard-boiled eggs and maple dijon vinaigrette so you can make it for easy weekday lunches!
I got such a great response from my Sweet Kale Salad recipe, I decided to do another knock off of the Taylor Farms salad kits found at Costco with this Paleo Asian Chopped Salad. This one is quick to prep and is Whole30 friendly, too.
Do you get into lunchtime ruts, too? Actually I know you do because I get asked a lot what I eat for lunch, and most of the time my answers aren’t super inspiring. But I’ve got an inspiring idea for you today, friends — 5-Minute Cheesy Zucchetti Bowl and a review of a gorgeous cookbook.
This Paleo Instant Pot Cheeseburger Soup is another family favorite that I updated, paleo-ized, and took for a spin in my pressure cooker.
As a recipe creator I like to make recipes that are versatile and can be used in a lot of different ways! My Thai marinade chicken is so great alone, but added to these refreshing chicken spring rolls with the peanut sauce to dip is just chef’s kiss.
I’ve wanted to make these Strawberry Nut Butter Truffles ever since I posted the Strawberry Cream Nut Butter recipe last spring. Now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner because these are just as good as I had hoped they’d be! They’d be a perfect little candy to make for Valentine’s Day! I added …
I’ve had a chicken fajita soup like this on the brain ever since I posted The Best Chicken Fajitas. I thought if I took the flavors in that recipes and simply made a soup out of it, I’d end up with what I had envisioned. Nope. I ended up with a so-so soup. That soup …
Hello, friends! I took a little time off to recover from Christmas, and we made a last-minute trip to Utah to attend a funeral. Needless to say, I’m really happy that school resumed this week and we’re back into our regular routine. AND I’ve got some new I’ll be sharing shortly. Let’s talk about this …
