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 …

Yeah, I know. The fifth chai recipe in just a few weeks. What can I say? I’m obsessed! When I made these paleo gingerbread waffles using my Homemade Chai Spice Blend, I was surprised how close it came to traditional gingerbread spices! You still get that familiar taste of ginger, cloves, and cinnamon with a …
Hey, I just want to let you know that this post is in partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market. I received monetary compensation for my time, and, as always, all opinions shared are my own. Yes, another chai recipe for you — in the form of chai caramel popcorn. And it won’t be the last chai …
When I was a kid my best friend’s mom made these oatmeal fudge cookie bars that I was obsessed with. They had soft, chewy crust with a ripple of thick, smooth fudge throughout. I couldn’t stop eating them. I wanted to make a paleo version, so I took the recipe for “A Big Chocolate Chip …
This goulash recipe is reminiscent of a authentic Hungarian goulash with tender chunks of braised beef and a bright red paprika sauce. It’s cozy and comforting and the epitome of comfort food. It’s also a simple recipe and easy to make, too!
I REALLY hope you saved some leftover cranberry sauce for these orange cranberry bars. I used my Wassailed Cranberry Sauce, but you can use any prepared cranberry sauce — bonus points if it has some orange flavors in it. These would be a good snack to take with you while you’re shopping all weekend. Are …
I’m in love with this little paleo apple crumble! If you’re in charge of dessert for a gathering where someone is avoiding gluten, grains, or dairy, you might end up being kissed if you bring this. Wait until you see how I prepped the apples. *Eek*
I’m usually a savory squash girl, but making roasted butternut squash with maple and my homemade chai spice was the best decision I made this Thanksgiving!
Have you tried Pan-Fried Green Beans with Bacon? It’s the ONLY way to eat green beans, really. The beans are crisp-tender and infused with the amazing taste of bacon – what could be better? It’s also just TWO ingredients (I’ll let you guess which two), a hot skillet for sautéing and you’re set! You’re going …
This delicious cauliflower puree is full of flavor and easily made in your Instant Pot! Serve it as a low carb alternative to regular mashed potatoes or a nutritious side dish alongside a roast or pork chops.
Here’s how to make a dry brine turkey — along with a flavorful herb butter for good measure! It’s so much easier than using a wet brine.
This dry brine turkey recipe is THE BOMB. Dry brining is so much easier than a wet brine and the herb butter under the skin takes this over the top!
Looking for a delicious, fool-proof chicken soup with Southwest-inspired flavors? I’ve created nearly 100 soup recipes for my website and my two cookbooks and I. Know. Soup. My Creamy Southwest Chicken Soup recipe is what you need. It’s easily made in the Instant Pot (or not!) and seasoned perfectly!
Breakfast salad? Salad for breakfast? Absolutely, yes. It comes together in a snap with some tender smoked salmon, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh herbs!
There’s nothing better than the smell of roasted fall vegetables, no? This easy side dish would be a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table!
This golden milk has a twist of chai spices and collagen protein for some extra goodness. It’s full of warming spices and is perfect for a chilly night.
Freeze-dried raspberries give these fat bombs such a burst of berry flavor and sweetness! You’ll love this creamy truffle-like combination.
Who knew that cabbage caramelized in bacon drippings could be such a delicious and easy side dish?
Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana (an Olive Garden knock off) is a snap in a pressure cooker and one of our favorite family dinners. Paleo, Whole30, and Keto versions, too!
This Syrian Salad. It’s seriously SO bold. It’s the best punch of flavor in the face that you’ll ever get. And you won’t be able to stop eating!
One of my favorite snacks (and sometimes breakfast) of all time is a hard-boiled egg slathered with Primal Kitchen’s Chipotle Lime Mayo and a sprinkle of Trader Joe’s Chile-Lime seasoning. I’ve gone through two jars of that mayonnaise and 95% of it went on hard-boiled eggs.
Meatloaf is one of those love/hate foods — either people really love it or they really. . . don’t. And, bless its heart, meatloaf won’t win any beauty contests. I’ve always wondered why general meatloaf opinions are so polarized — it s a comfort food, after all. Maybe there are just too many poorly made …
These protein waffles are paleo-friendly and make a large batch! Whip up a bunch and freeze them so your future self (and kids) will thank you!
