Oh, how I love fall. While autumn in Orange County tends to be pretty warm and not nearly as crisp as I would like, come mid-October and November, I’m a happy camper. Just give me a hot cup of coffee, a cozy scarf, and the smell of apples and cinnamon in the air, and I’ll […]
Could there be a more perfect food than pizza? I submit that there is not. And the next best thing to having a big crusty, cheesy slice of pizza is Pepperoni Pizza Chicken. This recipe raises the bar on “weeknight chicken” by adding homemade pizza sauce, lots of Italian spices, and melted mozzarella cheese and […]
I’m pretty confident that I belong in another generation. I like old music, traditional values, and my design sense leans more towards early 20th century art deco than millennial minimalism. And when it comes to food storage and saving? Well, I’m just your average depression-era grandmother. Haste makes waste, you know. In all seriousness, I […]
Gluten-Free Italian Breadsticks with Homemade Pesto are the quintessential Italian restaurant-style breadsticks you’ve been missing in your life. With a crisp, doughy texture and notes of garlic and basil throughout, these breadsticks pair perfectly with my grain-free Italian Sausage Bowls or chicken parmesan. And that homemade pesto on top? Icing on the cake. One of the […]
Instant Pot Zesty Lime Shredded Chicken is a genuine life-saver. It’s the kind of meal prep I love because it involves about 5 minutes of prep and 20-25 minutes of completely hands-off cooking. And it tastes so darn delicious. The combination of lime, salsa, and chile powder on top of succulent, juicy chicken is pretty […]
Like peanut butter and chocolate, eggs and bacon, and pizza and pineapple, some flavor duos bring joy to my soul. And after making these Gluten-Free Peaches and Coconut Cream Doughnuts, I’m adding peaches and cream to the short list, too. With their vanilla cake-like flavor and fresh peach topping, it’s fitting that these little doughnuts make […]
Chile-Lime Salmon Bowls with Mexican Succotash make it so darn easy to get some salmon into your everyday life. And that’s not always easy to do. Even when I resolve to eat more nutrient-dense foods like salmon, it takes me some time and effort to get out of my food rut. Whether you’re healthy or […]
I hesitate to use the term meal prep again, because the strategies I use might make the hardcore “meal prepper” roll their eyes at me. But, I think adopting a “small-step meal prep” philosophy is a great way to make your week and meal planning a little bit easier. Today, I want to talk about […]
These Grain-Free Almond Flour & Herb Biscuits are pretty magical. Soft, savory, and buttery, I’ve made them more times than I can count. They started as a Thanksgiving tradition (I just had to find an alternative for those delicious and sweet Hawaiian rolls we always had on our table), but now they’ve become an easy staple […]
You saw this coming, right? The girl who puts hot dogs, falafel, and pastrami on a salad is obviously going to make a burger salad. And this one is something special, because it pays homage to my favorite kind of burger. Say hello to the Mini Mushroom Swiss Burger Salad. This low-carb version of the classic […]
