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 …
I’ve wanted to get on the watermelon lemonade bandwagon for a LONG time, but lemonade usually has a ton of sugar. (When I consume sugar I’d rather eat it than drink it.) Since I started tinkering with low-carb sweeteners like erythritol and xylitol, I wanted to try out a variation of watermelon lemonade that wouldn’t …
I’ve been on a quasi keto kick lately and dabbling in some low-carb dessert action. (Mostly eating keto chocolate. Thanks Lily’s.) After such a great response for the White Chocolate Raspberry Fat Bombs I shared last year, I wanted to make another kind of fat bomb — a chocolate version. Keto chocolate treats are super …
Remember the little cheese crisps I made to crumble over my Creamy Paleo Mushroom Soup with Bacon? Well, it turns out those little cheese crisps, made extra large, make REALLY good keto tortillas. Well, technically taco shells since they’re crispy. Since breakfast tacos are kind of a thing lately, I couldn’t resist trying these out …
It’s possible to make a big batch of sweet potato hash browns without babysitting them at the stove! My oven method mimics frying hash browns so you can easily make them for a crowd. Crispy Sweet Potato Hash After spending so many years trying to make hash browns on the stove, I finally figured out …
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!
How to Motivate Yourself to Exercise — the golden question, right? If you had told me 5 years ago I’d be writing this post I would have laughed my head off. I am not naturally athletic and for most of my life I never enjoyed rigorous physical activity. Or sweating. Or wearing socks unless I …
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!
A handful of ingredients and five minutes will give you a blender full of paleo strawberry ice cream!
Have you ever grilled melon? It intensifies and caramelizes the natural sugars and adds a little smokiness. It’s divine.
My husband ate a few spoonfuls of this Keto Roasted Tomato Jalapeno Cheddar Soup and declared that it tasted like queso. I completely agree. It comes together so quickly and easily — perfect for a weeknight.
This is one of my favorite spring salads — bacon and blackberries are such a great combination. Make extra hard-boiled eggs and maple dijon vinaigrette so you can make it for easy weekday lunches!
I got such a great response from my Sweet Kale Salad recipe, I decided to do another knock off of the Taylor Farms salad kits found at Costco with this Paleo Asian Chopped Salad. This one is quick to prep and is Whole30 friendly, too.
Do you get into lunchtime ruts, too? Actually I know you do because I get asked a lot what I eat for lunch, and most of the time my answers aren’t super inspiring. But I’ve got an inspiring idea for you today, friends — 5-Minute Cheesy Zucchetti Bowl and a review of a gorgeous cookbook.
This Paleo Instant Pot Cheeseburger Soup is another family favorite that I updated, paleo-ized, and took for a spin in my pressure cooker.
These healthy chicken spring rolls are filled with Thai marinated grilled chicken, a cool veggie slaw, and a dipping sauce so good you’ll want to bathe in it. Ok, maybe not bathe exactly, but you’ll want to make extra.
I’ve wanted to make these Strawberry Nut Butter Truffles ever since I posted the Strawberry Cream Nut Butter recipe last spring. Now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner because these are just as good as I had hoped they’d be! They’d be a perfect little candy to make for Valentine’s Day! I added …
I’ve had a chicken fajita soup like this on the brain ever since I posted The Best Chicken Fajitas. I thought if I took the flavors in that recipes and simply made a soup out of it, I’d end up with what I had envisioned. Nope. I ended up with a so-so soup. That soup …
Hello, friends! I took a little time off to recover from Christmas, and we made a last-minute trip to Utah to attend a funeral. Needless to say, I’m really happy that school resumed this week and we’re back into our regular routine. AND I’ve got some new I’ll be sharing shortly. Let’s talk about this …
Yeah, I know. The fifth chai recipe in just a few weeks. What can I say? I’m obsessed! When I made these paleo gingerbread waffles using my Homemade Chai Spice Blend, I was surprised how close it came to traditional gingerbread spices! You still get that familiar taste of ginger, cloves, and cinnamon with a …
Hey, I just want to let you know that this post is in partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market. I received monetary compensation for my time, and, as always, all opinions shared are my own. Yes, another chai recipe for you — in the form of chai caramel popcorn. And it won’t be the last chai …
When I was a kid my best friend’s mom made these oatmeal fudge cookie bars that I was obsessed with. They had soft, chewy crust with a ripple of thick, smooth fudge throughout. I couldn’t stop eating them. I wanted to make a paleo version, so I took the recipe for “A Big Chocolate Chip …
This goulash recipe is reminiscent of a authentic Hungarian goulash with tender chunks of braised beef and a bright red paprika sauce. It’s cozy and comforting and the epitome of comfort food. It’s also a simple recipe and easy to make, too!
