Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

Yes, I know, it’s another recipe for chicken wings. But if we know one thing for sure, it’s that people love their chicken wings! There are so many different flavor options out there. So far I’ve created healthy and Whole30 renditions of classic Buffalo and Crispy Garlic (think garlic Parmesan). Since Lemon Pepper is another […]

BBQ Bacon Meatballs with Sweet Potato Puree

If you’re a longtime follower of my blog, you are probably already aware of my obsession with meat in the shape of balls. I don’t know what it is about meatballs but they just do it for me. I love bringing them on day hikes because they’re a perfect little portable pop of protein right […]

Zucchini Fries

I’m continuing on with the fair food, because I have the sinking feeling that fairs and carnivals will continue to be canceled the closer we get to autumn. Fairs may be canceled, but that won’t stop me from eating my weight in fair FOOD right here in the comfort of my own apartment. And in […]

Crispy Garlic Chicken Wings

I can’t in good faith call these Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings to the rest of the world even though that’s what I call them in my head. You know why? Because no cheese was harmed in the making of these wings. This recipe is a Whole30 compliant substitute for garlic parm chicken wings. Spoiler alert: […]

Air Fried Pizza Chicken

What’s a girl to do when she just wants to be face deep in a pizza, but she doesn’t want to consume 13,000 calories? It’s one of life’s important questions. Luckily, I have a delicious solution for you! All you need is an air fryer and a half hour to get a delicious dinner on […]

Watermelon Cucumber Salad

Now that we’re solidly into the month of June we are officially getting to that point here in Connecticut that it will soon be too hot to cook inside. Or wear pants. In the summer months I am all about the no-cook meals. I hate heating up the apartment every single day making food. Completely […]

Air Fried Plantains

I LOVE plantains. I can’t believe I never gave them the time of day until I did my first round of Whole30 in January 2018. I made plantains a ton that month and I still do, but I used to smoke up the whole apartment with all that oil and a somewhat long cooking time. […]

Italian Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

Don’t get cross with me now, but this recipe actually calls for TWO sheet pans. Am I a fraud? Does this still count as a sheet pan meal? As usual I only have your best interests at heart. I want you to use two sheet pans so that your dinner cooks evenly. Sheet pan meals […]

BBQ Bacon Meatloaf

Hallelujah, it’s another meatloaf recipe! If you don’t know this about me by now, you should know that I absolutely adore meatballs and meatloaf. No clue why. It might be because my mother has been conditioning me for 30 years to love meatloaf. It’s what she serves me every year on my birthday so I’ve […]

Taco Meat

A very simple health swap to make is to ditch those packets of spices you see on the shelves of the grocery store that people buy to cut down on the time it takes to make things like gravies, soups, dips, and, yes, taco meat. I haven’t purchased store bought taco seasoning in probably about […]
