Here we go. This is what I was teasing you with when I posted that Instant Pot Coconut Rice over the weekend. Rice isn’t super interesting in a photo by itself, so I put some of this curry on top. OHHH you’ll love this Thai fish curry. Well, unless you don’t like fish, then… don’t …
Ah, grilling season isn’t over yet, friends. I think fall might be better for grilling anyway because it’s not blazing hot outside while you’re cooking stuff over a very hot fire. Sweaty, much? Luckily, you can make these amazing beef skewers ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. Plus, it’s another reason to pull out the Homemade …
This grilled caesar salad recipe is another recreation of something I ate at a restaurant and furiously jotted down notes as I picked my plate apart and tasted everything individually. Meanwhile Steve looks at me with an eyebrow cocked. JK. He’s used to it. And he gets excited because he thinks recreating restaurant recipes is …
After writing two cookbooks with a total of 27 (!!) recipes for pulled meat (and five BBQ sauces) in both books, I thought it was rather sad that I didn’t have an Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe on my site. A total shame, right? It’s a classic recipe that everyone should have in their collection. …
Today is Steve’s birthday. The big 4-0, people. Steve’s the kind of guy who embraces stuff like that. I embrace it, too . . . on him. I like how his hair is on its way to be salt and peppery just like his dad’s. He’s lucky to have a full, thick head of it, …
I have this great friend named Kristi. She has been a reader of my blog for at least 9-10 years. And we even met in person once! (I happened to be near where she lived once so I totally knocked on her door at 10:30PM like a creeper. And she still likes me.) Kristi has …
If you make anything I post this summer — it has to be this grilled chicken recipe. Actually…. I’ve got another recipe in the pipeline I could say the same thing about. But first, make this. This chipotle-lime marinade is SO SO AMAZING. It goes perfectly with the fruity salsa on top! Yeah, you could …
As much as I love throwing a burger on the grill with some wild toppings, I sure don’t have a lot of burger recipes on my site! Note to self: create more burger recipes.

One of my favorite easy things to make on a weeknight is a sheet pan dinner. I almost always have some kind of pre-cooked sausage in the fridge (Aidell’s is our favorite!). This Quick Sausage & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner can be eaten alone or over salad greens or as part of a rice bowl. …

This Green Chile Chicken & Spaghetti Squash bake is PERFECT for meal preppers or those who like to prep components of a meal ahead of time. I love the addition of green salsa and a splash of paleo ranch to give it some creaminess. Avocados on top are a must.
This easy, Thai-inspired sheet pan meal has chicken & veggies that cook up in a super easy citrusy marinade. You can serve it as is (Paleo/Keto/Whole30 friendly!) or with some freshly steamed Jasmine rice.
Hey, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Between moving out of state, the holidays, and setting up Steve’s new chiro office (We’re still not done yet. Ugh.) I’m just about burned to the ground. I’ve been in a weird place lately — a little restless, somewhat in a SAD funk (Boise, why are your skies …

We’re having dinner with some friends who also want to keep things low-carb, so I’m thrilled to pull some of these dishes to share. These are also paleo and gluten/grain-free. You could also use these if …
This Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl recipe is in partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market. It’s no secret that we’re big fans of sushi rolls and sushi bowls around here. When poke bowls became trendy, we found a local place and gave it a try. Let’s just say it’s a good thing that particular place is across …
I feel like I created a unicorn here with this grilled eggplant recipe. It’s easy, quick (even quicker if you make the ricotta ahead of time), doesn’t require an oven/stove (yay, summer grilling!), and is paleo, low-carb/keto, AND vegan. The fact that it’s vegan was totally an accident. If you’ve spent more than 5 minutes …
Last month while we were in Idaho, we went to Noodles & Co for dinner. I was happy to see that they offered zoodles as a replacement for pasta in most of their dishes! I tried their Thai Green Curry Zoodle Bowl and loved it so much, I whipped up a copycat version to make …
I’ll get to this amazeballs roasted salmon in a second. If you’ve been hanging around here for a while you’ll know a few things about me. . .
Pad Thai has been on our family’s favorite dinner list for a couple of years now, and the kids always do a happy dance when they find out I’ve made it. I’ve been meaning to test out a paleo pad Thai on them and just did it recently. Only one of my kids likes zucchini …
For someone who LOVES a good burger, I have a surprisingly small stash of burger recipes on my site. I’ve had an idea for an ultimate mushroom burger for a while now and this recipe turned out even better than I hoped!
This strawberry cobb salad was a hit with the bacon and candied nuts and strawberry balsamic vinaigrette. You can easily make it Whole30 friendly by using plain roasted nuts and compliant bacon!
Have you ever grilled melon? It intensifies and caramelizes the natural sugars and adds a little smokiness. It’s divine.
