These are one of my favorite things in the world. They are healthy, easy, and taste EXACTLY like a ball of cookie dough. And who can disagree that a spoon of cookie dough is one of the best things on this planet?? I love that I can feel like I'm having a hunk of cookie dough when it's actually a healthy treat. Huge bonus: my kids love these. They call them treat balls, and they feel like ...
Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies with Mustard Sauce (dairy free, paleo)
Sheet pan dinners are a whole new level of dinner win for me. I love one pot dinners SO much, but sheet pan dinners are an even higher step towards dinner glory than one pot dinners because everything goes down in the oven where there is zero babysitting, AND I think sheet pans are easier to clean. Sometimes sheet pan dinners tend to be a little boring - roasted meat beside roasted veggies. I ...
2 Ingredient Coconut Date Rolls
When we did our first round of Whole 30 years ago, I found out I was pregnant about half way through, and from the second I become pregnant to the second my babies are born, I crave sweets like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. But on Whole 30 you can't have sweets. We were at the grocery store one week, and I found these things called date rolls - only ingredients were unsweetened coconut and dates, which ...
Easy One Pot Coconut Basil Chicken
This eight ingredient dinner (not including whatever you serve it over) is not only incredibly easy to make, it is LOADED with flavor thanks to the garlic, shallot, ginger, lime zest, basil, and coconut milk. All of that goodness simmers together just until the chicken is cooked through, and it is pure heaven! Since we were just doing whole 30, I served this with cauliflower rice, but I've made ...
Whole 30 Bolognese with Dairy Free “Ricotta”
This low and slow, simple ingredient, HUG IN A BOWL will make your whole week warm and cozy. I'm not sure there's a more delicious pasta sauce than a bolognese. It's full of flavor-rich ingredients, and it simmers for two hours (or three, if you want), allowing those flavors to deepen and intensify even more. Toss this goodness with some zoodles or spaghetti squash (or regular noodles if you ...

This takes your traditional spaghetti dinner to THE NEXT LEVEL, fam.

Dairy Free 5 Minute Hot Cocoa

I tried it with cashew cream, cashew cream/almond milk mix, just almond milk, almond milk and coconut milk, just coconut milk, coconut milk/oat milk mix - SO MANY DIFFERENT COMBOS. And then I tried it with just oat milk, and it was ...
Date Night Creamy Roasted Vegetable Risotto
Date-night-ins are wonderful for a few reasons: If you have kids, getting a babysitter can be expensive and a little complicated. I know that for us - especially now that we hvae 3 kids, one of which is still super young - we don't leave a babysitter to handle bedtime on her own. Less because we are worried about the kids being okay and more because I don't really want to strap a solo ...
