Avocado Chimichurri
I mean, on a scale of one to ten, how acceptable is it to slather avocado chimichurri all over your body like lotion? A hard six? I'll take it. This chimichurri is THE actual best. We have had it twice on grilled flank steak and once on roasted potatoes, and all times it was life giving. Like...I-want-to-eat-this-straight-from-the-bowl-with-a-spoon level of life giving. It's not only THE ...
Hot Bacon Dressing
Can I just say that I'm so happy we live in a world where something called "bacon dressing" exists? I mean...what is this life? The fact that we can douse our salad in hot bacon dressing and call it a meal makes my heart the happiest it's ever been. This takes dressing to a whole new level. We literally use the fat rendered from the bacon as the oil in this dressing. Is that even legal? It's ...
Thick and Creamy Cauliflower Mash
Cauliflower mash has never been my favorite. It's always been a little bit thin, and I could never get it really unctuous and thick and creamy like I wanted.

After trying a few different tricks, I discovered a cauliflower mash that is CRAZY thick, CRAZY creamy, and SUPER velvety ...
Keto Sushi (paleo, whole 30)
Sushi is my favorite food. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast sushi? Someone needs to get ON THAT asap. Cause I'd be so down!

Since doing keto (and when we were doing Whole ...

Caprese Stuffed Avocado Cups with Balsamic Reduction (Keto)
Well this is literally my obsession above all else. I eat it for lunch at least half the days of the week, and when I'm not eating it, I'm missing it. It is creamy and rich from the avocado, cheesy, smooth, and delicious from the fresh mozzarella cheese, bright and acidic from the tomatoes + the vinaigrette, and slightly sweet from the balsamic reduction. It hits every taste bud in your WHOLE ...

I AM IN LOVE. I have only every eaten pork belly in super fancy restaurant situations, so I figured it would be crazy expensive to buy at the store. But for two big chunks of pork belly - two and a ...
