There are few things I love more than a big bowl of flavorful, delicious ramen - the kind where broth is so deep and flavorful that it's almost rich. It's one of my favorite things to eat! I love making ramen at home. It's not quite as authentic as the places that simmer their broth for five years and add toppings like pork cheek or something awesome and crazy like that, BUT - this one goes ...
The BEST Italian Roasted Potatoes
Strap in for the SINGLE best roasted potato you will eat in your lifetime. For reals, these things are like a flavor explosion, and that doesn't happen often with potatoes. Usually potatoes taste like...potatoes! Which is great, potatoes taste amazing - fried, roasted, mashed - they are bomb in all forms, BUT, they don't usually contain a lot of flavor aside from the flavor of potato. But ...
Scallops over Curried Carrot Puree
I need to preface this with the fact that everyone I fed this to said it was either their favorite or one of their favorite things I've ever made. Including this little tidbit not to humble brag, but to explain the NECESSITY of this meal being produced in your own kitchen tonight (tomorrow at the absolute latest)!!! Because, let me just tell you, it - is - heaven. If I'm being totally ...
15 Minute Mango Salsa
What is better than a perfect bowl of fresh, ripe mango salsa? Nothing, you say? You would be THE MOST correct. It's fruity, it's sweet, it's tangy, it's got some spice from the jalapeno, bite from the red onion, and freshness from the cilantro. Throw it on top of grilled chicken, fish, pork, grass clippings...wait, probably not...but maybe? This mango salsa takes like two seconds to make ...
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! I had it last night for dinner - just the kind they sell pre-made at the grocery store. See? I don't need anything fancy. I don't discriminate...give me sushi in any form and I'll love you forever. Since doing keto (and when we were doing Whole ...
Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps (keto, paleo, whole 30)
Is it just me, or are buffalo wings the life of every party? It's not uncommon for me to crave something smothered in buffalo sauce daily weekly. Ultra crispy crunchy buffalo wings are one of my fave things in the delicious world of food! But - game changer - have you ever tried buffalo shrimp? You've still got the crispy crunchy, you've still got the buffalo flavor, but instead of chicken ...

Why is chicken bacon ranch one of those combinations that just hits the SPOT anytime you eat it? I can't answer that for you, but I know that I'm here to participate in this delicious combination frequently. I'm heerreee forrrrr ittttt. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, the bacon is crispy and savory, and the ranch is creamy and adds such delicious flavor to the whole thing. To add some ...
Crispy Instant Pot Pork Belly (Keto, Paleo, Whole 30)
Um, excuse me - hello, beautiful. You are perfection in every sense of the word. You are absurdly crispy on top, fall-apart moist and juicy in the middle, and full of delicious, fatty goodness. 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 ...
Whole Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Reduction
Brussels sprouts are the most underrated vegetable in the world. People have been brainwashed by their grandparents and parents boiling them to the consistency of absolute mush and then dumping them on their plate and force feeding them mushy globs of questionable smelling sprouts. BUT - listen, these poor brussels sprouts have just been wildly misunderstood. Because when cooked correctly and ...
