Classic Slow Cooker Beef Stew
A few months back I was SO excited when I got some stew meat in my ButcherBox. Things like beef stew, pot roast, and traditional cheeseburgers were all foods that I did NOT grow up eating. I’m not sure if you remember or not, but in the 1990’s there was a huge marketing campaign against […]
Dillicious Air Fried Pickle Wings
Do you see what I did there? Do you appreciate a good food pun, or do you find it tacky? Normally I’d consider myself in the latter camp, but for some reason this time I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. The title of this recipe really fits the food to a T, so I […]
Green Goddess Smashed Potatoes
Here I am with another recipe for the best food in the whole entire world – POTATOES. Mashed potatoes, to be exact. And even more exciting, this recipe gives you a way to enjoy the delicacy that is mashed potatoes without heating up your kitchen and therefore your whole entire house, just in case you […]
Sous Vide Chicken Breast with Garlic Shallot Pan Sauce
If you don’t own a sous vide, what are you even doing with your life? I ask this seriously, because I really and truly must know. Mike gifted me a sous vide years ago for my birthday. I remember opening the gift and thinking to myself, what in the heck is this contraption? This was […]
Creamy Bolognese
Have you ever had the desire to spend 3-4 hours making a meat sauce to slather all over some noodles? If the answer is yes, do I have the recipe for you! In fact, this is actually my second such meat sauce of this nature. Impressively, my Slow Cooker Sunday Sauce takes even LONGER to […]
Garlic Sesame Steak Tips
I’ve talked about Butcher Box on the blog so many times by now. I’ve been a subscriber for almost two years now and I love it so much. They’ve sent me so many different cuts of meat that I’m not familiar with. I used to think I wouldn’t like this about Butcher Box, but it […]
Italian Egg Cups
September Whole30 officially starts today! Are you participating? Personally, I am sitting this round out. I have some upcoming hikes planned and also a wedding to attend. I don’t like to worry about staying compliant while on the trail, and I also plan to drink mass amounts of champagne at said wedding, so a September […]
Guacamole
Avocados are another super healthy food I didn’t let have the time of day until about four years ago. I was living with my mother at the time and I had just started out on my paleo/Whole30 journey. I brought some packaged guacamole home from the grocery store (don’t judge me; I didn’t know any […]
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: […]
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 […]
