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 ...
Dairy Free 5 Minute Hot Cocoa
Ohhhhhhh man, you guys, I have been so excited to post this. I recipe tested this dairy free hot cocoa SO many different ways before landing on the perfect version. 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 ...
Sheet Pan Marinara
Say hello to the ULTIMATE easy homemade pasta sauce, fam. It's a sheet pan dinner in pasta sauce form. We roast a sheet pan of cherry tomatoes, onion, and garlic low and slow - a whole hour in the oven. The flavor in all the veggies deepens and they get nice and caramelized, and then we blend it up with some raw cashews and water (which is the dairy free version of adding a big glug of heavy ...
Whole 30 Beefy Potato Soup
Liiightly sad as I write this because my three year old was sitting on my lap while I was working at my desk, and it was a sweet little moment. Then my (almost) two year old wanted a turn, so he was sitting with me and it was equally adorable. Then both of them left me, leaving me with the parting gift of a certain substance on my sweater. I'll leave the details to your imagination because this is ...
Whole 30 Chicken Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner
I'm about to throw an insanely complicated dinner at you right here. Strap in for the steps, prepare yourselves: Slice a few peppers and an onionToss with olive oil and seasoningsCrosshatch your peppersRoast I know...DAUNTING. Jk, legit this is the easiest dinner I've ever made. I almost feel bad even posting it as a "recipe" - it feels unfair to even call it that 😬. But ALAS - ushering in ...
Ground Orange Chicken
This dish is seriously the most perfect weeknight meal that ever was. It's SO easy, SO fast, and it's super delicious and crowd pleasing. My two toddlers love it, and sometimes my three year old can be picky (especially with meat), so it's a huge win for us! The chicken is absolutely loaded with flavor, and it's super saucy so it's PERFECT served over rice. Since it's made with ground chicken, ...
Oven Baked Fries with Lemon Garlic Dip
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, ...
