Zuppa Toscana
Have you shifted into soup mode yet? I’ll be honest, I could eat soup year round and be totally pleased about it. It’s mostly because my office is kept to a balmy 55 degrees or so (I’m joking but I feel like I’m not far off with this guess either) during the summer months, so […]
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 […]
Date Night In Gnocchi Dinner
I was supposed to be on an airplane right this second with Mike heading to New Orleans. I was SO EXCITED to eat my body weight in beignets for three days straight and then see my best friend from high school because I was supposed to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. But then coronavirus […]
Cheeseburger Sliders
I am here to tell you once again that no cheese was harmed in the making of this recipe. But again, I just can’t bring myself to use quotations in the titles of my recipes. So if you are severely disappointed by the name of this recipe, I apologize. But give it a try! If […]
Chocolate Cherry Pie Protein Shake
Now that it’s February I am ready for all of the Valentine’s Day recipes! I know, I know, it’s a Hallmark holiday. Whatever. But I still love it all the same. An excuse to consume chocolate? Yes please! Have you ever seen that movie Valentine’s Day? It’s been out for about a decade now but […]
Winter Wellness Soup
I wasn’t planning on putting this recipe on the blog, which is why there are next to no pictures of it. But I do believe that it healed Mike and I of our illnesses that we contracted from who knows where (my money is on my kind coworkers -_-) so for that reason alone I […]
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 […]
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 […]
Mini Meatball and Spaghetti Bake
Oh look, another meatball recipe. Are you surprised? Because you shouldn’t be. In all fairness I DID warn you about my unusual meatball obsession. This recipe was inspired by Lady and the Tramp. The other day I was on Facebook and the trailer for the live action Lady and the Tramp movie started playing. Of […]
Simple Sauteed Kale
Every healthy home cook should have a tried and true recipe for sauteed greens in her repertoire and that’s a fact. Kale intimidated me for a long time. I’m not sure if I thought it was going to be hard to cook or if I thought I wouldn’t like the taste of it or what. […]
