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 …
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. . .
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 …
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.
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.
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 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 …
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!
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!
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!
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 …
No, really. These are the best chicken fajitas — citrusy with a hint of heat and they make the BEST leftovers! (Leftover fajita hash is pretty amazing.)
So…. Coodles? Is that what we’re calling cucumber noodles? I made parsnip noodles once, so I guess those are poodles? Butternut noodles = boodles? OK, I’ll stop.
Get excited — I’ve got a lot of fresh, summery recipes to share with you — that don’t require an oven. So, lettuce wraps. Yay! Is it getting hot where you are?
I love how easy this marinade is to pull together — even during a busy morning! And PLEASE make this “peanut” sauce. It’s so SO good and is fabulous over a salad or rice bowl with this grilled chicken and some veggie toppings!
Fish taco bowls are one of our favorite summer meals to make on a busy weeknight! Quick cooking fish pairs with an easy cabbage salad and a creamy citrus dressing to give you all the great flavors of fish tacos without the tortillas.
