So I first recipe tested these fries probably three or four weeks ago, and I've basically made them multiple times a week since then. When I buy potatoes, I usually buy a big bag, and this is seriously the MOST delicious way to use them up! And who - srlsy WHOOOO - doesn't love a good french fry, people?? They are one of the best things the lovely people of this planet have invented. True ...
Banh Mi Turkey Burgers
Y'all - these are legit THE best turkey burgers. Turkey burgers (and sometimes burgers in general!) can be a little blah or boring. I love adding fun variety to burgers - there is SO much you can do with them! But this is probably my favorite version I've had to date. If you've never had a Banh Mi, they are often characterized by pickled carrot (and usually radish too), jalapeno, cilantro, ...
Dairy Free Vodka Sauce
Vodka sauce is one of those yummy classics that's great to have in your back pocket. It's easy, it's absolutely DE-LI-CIOUS, and it's a perfect dish to serve in multiple different situations: easy enough for a weeknight dinner but fun enough for a dinner party with a yummy, fresh side salad. If you've never had vodka sauce before, it's basically a creamy tomato sauce that has some complexity ...
Grilled Spring Veggie Panzanella
If you make ONE new thing this entire spring and summer, it needs to be this salad. I am telling you guys, I cannot emphasize enough how good this is - it is my all time favorite salad, and I absolutely cannot get enough of it! If you aren't familiar with panzanella, it's basically bread salad. Think salad SUPER heavy on the croutons, but the croutons are a little bigger, softer, and chewier ...
Creamy, Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce (whole 30, paleo)
I don't know about you, but when I am not "allowed" to have something food related, my brain is automatically like...hey, you know what I want super bad? That. It's like craving Chik-fil-a on Sunday...I know I can't have it so it's automatically what I want. Right now we are trying to eat (mostly) dairy free. My hubbs is a little lactose intolerant so we are just trying to avoid it when we ...
Spiralized Sweet Potato Taco Skillet
Tacos are life. I've been having a consistent taco craving fooorr...I wanna say...approximately 15 years. It's never ending - I'm always down for a taco. Luckily, on whole 30, a taco craving is actually pretty easily satiated. There are a lot of healthy substitutes where you ditch the cheese and tortilla but still get your taco fix. Lettuce wraps = perf. Taco bowls (with cauliflower rice) = ...
Instant Pot Short Ribs
Ah, Instant Pot. So nice to see you again - it's been a while! I was very excited to be able to incorporate you into Whole 30. If I ate things like you every night, I could do Whole 30 on a permanent basis. **Switching to you, readers, instead of continuing to be creepy and address only the short ribs.** Short ribs were a first for me as of this month while doing Whole 30, and I am sad at the ...
Coconut Spaghetti Squash Noodle Bowls
One good thing about Whole 30 is that it resulted in my experimental use of spaghetti squash! I've never tried it before this month, and I absolutely love it! Now...does it taste identical to a big, steaming bowl of pasta? Nah girl. But does it taste delicious and resemble pasta a bit? Cha girl...it does. At least I think so. It's extra good in this recipe because the "noodles" are totally ...
Avocado “Toast” with a Sunny Side Up Egg
Okay, so I'm excited about this one. Breakfast can be a struggle for me, especially while doing Whole 30. I get sick of the same breakfasts over and over again, and I get frustrated with the lack of options. When I'm not on Whole 30, I tend to cycle between phases of eggs, protein pancakes, sometimes things like oatmeal or toast, and then when I get super sick of breakfast all together, just ...
Cocoa and Chili Crusted Steak with Jalapeno Chimichurri
So I'm sure you have seen lots of those meal delivery ads for Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and other similar companies, right? They're all the rage right now, and I can fully see why - SUPER convenient. Seth and I tried one a few years ago for one week just for fun to see if the food was any good. It was a fun week, but we still prefer just coming up with our own dinners! In February, when I was in ...
