Indian has always been a huge favorite of mine. And Steve’s. Since the early college days of our marriage when we’d splurge $35 for our anniversary at Bombay House in Provo, UT. We LOVED the rich, flavorful curries and the warm, chewy naan bread. *swoon* Steve started dropping hints about cooking Indian food at home …

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 …
I’m not sure why I didn’t try making coconut rice in the Instant Pot before. I’ve had my pantry stocked with coconut milk for over 10 years, and it was just in the last couple years that I’ve tinkered with making coconut rice. Making coconut rice in an Instant Pot is even better. I’m not sure …
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 …
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 …
I realize that it’s late May and soup probably isn’t on your mind.

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 …
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 …

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 …
This is one of those recipes where I’m like, “NAT. WHY DID THIS TAKE YOU SO LONG?!” Vegan queso or cashew “cheeze” sauce has been floating around the Internet for a few years, but I was always doubtful that it would be worth making. Or that it would taste good. You’ll love this Cashew Nacho …
I wasn’t a fan of vegetables as a kid unless it was in the form of baby carrots dipped in ranch dressing. Or (insert cooked vegetable) covered with Cheez Whiz. And green beans were completely off my list. Well, until I was an adult and tried fresh green beans that had been sauteed. Then, I …
Have you ever grilled melon? It intensifies and caramelizes the natural sugars and adds a little smokiness. It’s divine.
