PALEO | WHOLE30 | DAIRY-FREE | GLUTEN-FREE On a normal weekend, when we’re home, I probably spend 5 hours preparing food for the week ahead. That’s half of a weekend day! Of course, that doesn’t factor in the time spent planning the meals, buying the ingredients, etc. I love cooking, and I love grocery shopping,… Continue reading 1-hour meal prep | why I’m done doing

3 fall recipes to kickoff football (aka meal prep) season
PALEO | WHOLE30 | DAIRY-FREE Have you heard that September is the new January? “New year, new you” definitely comes at the right time in January: when we’re three months into a cookie and flavored latte-induced coma, and probably haven’t shaved our legs (or beards) in the same amount of time. But the truth is,… Continue reading 3 fall recipes to kickoff football (aka meal prep) season
6-ingredient summery shrimp & potato dinner
PALEO | WHOLE30 | DAIRY-FREE | GLUTEN-FREE At any given moment, I have at least one ingredient obsession. This time last summer, it was figs (let’s be honest, it’s always figs).

turkey blt salad, aka space camp
PALEO | WHOLE30 | DAIRY-FREE | GLUTEN-FREE I don’t know when I became such a salad eater. I used to make fun of my mom and sister for being such…. rabbits, eating their greens, while I scarfed down a burger/ribs/other “man food”. It probably started at Space Camp, in 6th grade, when I had my… Continue reading turkey blt salad, aka space camp
how to become famous for your guacamole
I think it’s hilarious how much guac is misunderstood. The best guac isn’t complicated, and it’s definitely not hard to make well. It’s a humble little dish, with a handful of complimentary ingredients that join hands and SING in a brilliant symphony of chunky, tangy goodness. There are two (maybe three) secrets to making exceptional guacamole:… Continue reading how to become famous for your guacamole
paleo deviled eggs, aka easter lessons
how do you easter? We never really celebrated Easter in the traditional way in our house.
