We just got back from California where we were visiting my family. It was wonderful, but traveling with kids is exhausting. I don’t care what you say. The airplanes, the time changes, the exploring and visiting, the new surroundings, it gets to them man. Or at least my kids. Maybe my kids are weird. The… Continue reading Paleo Turkey Meatballs, Creamy Mashed Cauliflower and Traveling
People. I’m back!! I’ve been gone for a while, because you know, life. But don’t think I stopped cooking for a second. Because that would be stupid. And the biggest understatement of the year. Since Mark is STILL doing Whole30 (it’ll be a year next month), I’ve had to alter my cooking methods. I still… Continue reading Spicy Asian Cauliflower Stir-Fry
People. Talk about a gourmet meal. This dish only took about 20 minutes to make and it looks like it should be served at a fancy dinner party. I actually felt bad that I was just putting it directly in Tupperware, instead of plating it on fancy dishes, and inviting someone like the Queen to… Continue reading Poached Cod and Butternut Squash Puree
This is in my top 5 favorite Whole30 recipes I think. It’s so flavorful but also so healthy!! Right up my alley! The recipe came from my cookbook “Meals Made Simple” by Danielle Walker. I used local Mayport Florida shrimp (the only way to go). And spaghetti squash? I think I could survive off this… Continue reading Roasted Tomato and Shrimp “Pasta”
The main thing I miss about cooking not Whole30, is pasta. Pasta is like the easiest, cheapest thing to make. Not to mention it’s freaking delicious. I came across this recipe in my cookbook “Against All Grain; Meals Made Simple” by Danielle Walker. It uses potatoes instead of pasta, which was a neato swap. It also… Continue reading Scallop Potato Pasta
This recipe also came from my cookbook “Against All Grain: Meals Made Simple” by Danielle Walker. This chicken dish may be one of my favorite ways to make chicken ever. Which is saying a lot because I eat chicken like 85,000 times a week. It sounds like this recipe would be time consuming and annoying,… Continue reading Pesto Stuffed Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken
One of my close friends, Vanessa, recommended this great cookbook to me called “Against All Grain; Meals Made Simple” by Danielle Walker. It’s mainly Whole30/Paleo/Gluten free stuff. Which are all the things that consume my life lately. Anyways the book is great and if you’re looking for inspiration you can get it here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/162860042X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Ever since… Continue reading Ginger Chicken and Broccoli
This was one of those recipes I can across online and was like “crap this looks amazing”. And it’s healthy. So why they hell would you not make it? To me, spaghetti squash tastes better than normal spaghetti. No, I’m not even kidding. Even my husband agrees and he’s like a cave man. It also… Continue reading Creamy Bacon Garlic Spaghetti Squash
So the biggest surprise of my life was pulled off today. My best friend flew from Arizona to Florida to SURPRISE me with a visit!! Like how did this even happen. If you know anything about me, I find out about EVERY single surprise anyone has tried to pull on me. No joke. Christmas presents,… Continue reading Chicken Enchilada Zucchini Boats
My family is officially here!!! They drove from California to Florida to be here for the birth of our second kid and then they are staying SIX weeks to help out! I’m beyond stoked. Mark may have a different opinion… Cooking is the only thing that has distracted me from being uncomfortable and wanting this… Continue reading Salmon Leek Soup
