Stuffed Acorn Squash
I made this recipe with Mike’s mom in mind. A few weeks ago she invited Mike and I over for dinner. I decided that that was the night I would tell his parents about my blog. I had mentioned to his mom a few times over the past several months that I was toying with […]
Vegan Pumpkin Bisque with Homemade Vegetable Stock
I went to the grocery store to shop for ingredients for this recipe and I was horrified at the laundry list of ingredients I saw in store bought vegetable broth/stock. I can’t tell you the last time I bought vegetable broth but I guess it’s been a while. Back when I didn’t read food labels […]
Ranch Dressing
One of the hardest parts of switching to a paleo/Whole30 diet was, for me, the condiments. I am the condiment QUEEN. Years ago Jess and I used to go to the gym together after work, and occasionally, we’d go out to dinner together after that. Really reverse all that work we had done in the […]
Maple Bacon Pancakes
Paleo pancakes and I don’t get along all that great. It took me two tries to nail this recipe. And now that I think about it, I’m thinking that pancakes and I just don’t get along in general, even the regular gluten filled ones. Unless they’re paleo sheet pan pancakes. Or pumpkin sheet pan pancakes. […]
Instant Pot Creamy Chicken Soup
Two things I am SOUPER into right now are soup recipes of any kind and my Instant Pot. I’ve used my Instant Pot three times in the past four days. I used to use it maybe once a week but right now I’m really on a roll and I am loving creating new recipes with […]
Sweet Potato Toast
Avocado toast has been having a minute. Except it’s not really a minute. It feels more like a decade. And honestly? I’m having a really difficult time seeing the appeal. If I’m having toast, I’m smearing it with Kerrygold and nothing else. Toast simply doesn’t need anything else. I suppose my sentiment surrounding avocado toast […]
Hike Recap: Mount Monadnock
I have hiked Mount Monadnock once a year for the last six years. It is a wonderful hike to do to introduce your perhaps not-so-outdoorsy friends and family to the wonderful pastime that is hiking. It’s centrally located in New England. It’s not technical and it’s not overly difficult. However, you end up with excellent […]
Lazy Joe Sliders
The night that I tested this recipe for the first time Mike had offered to buy me dinner earlier in the evening. He left our apartment around 3:00 pm, headlamp in hand, to go for a long run on the rail trail about a half hour away from where we live. I knew it would […]
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
HAPPY OCTOBER! I am SO happy that it’s finally October, and yet at the same time I’m shocked that it’s October already. Does that even make sense? Probably not, but there it is anyway. I am mortified to admit that for the first 25 years or so of my life, my idea of a good […]
Sausage Kale Soup
Full disclosure: this recipe is Joanna Gaines’ Sausage Kale Soup recipe that I modified for paleo and Whole30. According to the cookbook (which I am very happy I own), the recipe from the cookbook is the very one served in her restaurant Magnolia Table in Waco, Texas. Her cookbook is AMAZING and I have made […]
