Mark has four staple foods : potatoes, eggs, bacon and avocados. This meal had three of the four. And you could totally add an avocado on top to complete those four elements. This is technically a breakfast dish according to my cookbook, but it had all of Marks favorite things. I didn’t care if it… Continue reading Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes Topped with an Egg
Mark said this was the best meal he’s ever had. That’s it. Blog’s over. Kidding. I got this amazing cookbook called Coconuts and Kettlebells. It’s by Noelle Tarr and Stefani Rupper. I first discovered them by listening to their podcast – Well Fed Women. If you haven’t listened to them go do it now. And… Continue reading Flank Steak and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
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
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 there is a long back story to this dish. Today is Cooper’s 2nd birthday. We started out his birthday strong. Mark made the birthday boy bacon and eggs for breakfast. After breakfast, Coop opened his three presents from us. This is a tradition my parents started with me and my siblings growing up. Three… Continue reading Egg Roll in a Bowl
I’ve been making Slow Cooker meals all week and I’m in love. My favorite part of the whole production (which isn’t even a “production”) is when Cooper wakes up first thing in the morning, I pick him up out of his crib and ask him if he wants to help me cook. He replies with… Continue reading Crock Pot Beef and Sweet Potato Chili
I was just complaining to Mark that I am so over making Whole30 food. He won’t give up on it!!! I feel like I just cook all the same food – roasted potatoes (his favorite), a type of protein, and then either roasted or sautéed veggies. Every. Damn. Day. And he can’t really snack like… Continue reading The Perfect Fall Meal
