When I was a kid learning to cook, strata was the one dish that never really made sense to me. Like why add a bunch of bread to an already delicious egg casserole recipe? It always seemed like a source of unnecessary carbs and an extra filler ingredient. That is until I tried Fox Hill…
Paleo Tuna Salad Bites
This is my second day back from Paleo f(x), and while I’m feeling a bit better, I’m definitely still recovering from the crazy weekend. Our plane was delayed on the way home so we didn’t get back until 2 am. It was all worth it though; got to connect with tons of amazing bloggers and…

Paleo Hamburger Stir Fry with Cabbage and Carrot Noodles
Sometimes I want to eat something kind of fancy, but all I have is ground beef. That’s how this recipe was born; I wanted a fancy-ish lunch with minimal effort and ingredients I already had in the cupboard. I had a lot of fun making carrot noodles with my new spiral veggie cutter, and the…
Plantain Egg Muffins
One of my favorite Christmas presents that I received was a spiral veggie cutter! I haven’t gotten the chance to make a ton of things with it, but I did make these yummy plantain egg muffins; actually for Christmas morning! The spiralized plantains in these plantain egg muffins cook up crispy like little hash browns,…
Paleo Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pizza (21DSD, nut-free)
I’m just going to say this before anyone else does: Now Inside Out is one of my favorite movies (and that line is probably my favorite), but I don’t live in San Francisco, and here in rural Wisconsin, you can pay a lot of money at a pizza place for a chicken broccoli alfredo pizza,…
20+ Egg Free Whole30 Breakfasts (21DSD too!)
Breakfast can be hard when you’re doing a Whole30 or 21DSD! I know I get tired of eggs and my dad is allergic to eggs. Here’s 20+ egg free whole30 breakfast ideas! These can be modified to be 21DSD: If the recipe contains banana, use green-tipped. If the recipe contains apple, use granny smith. If…

Well, it’s Day 9 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox! I’ve had tons of energy lately and my appetite has been awesome (hungry at meals, not hungry in between)! I’m also finding out all the amazing ways you can cook with a green banana (I’m currently perfecting a 21DSD chocolate chip cookie recipe with green…
21DSD Beef and “Rice” Burrito Bowls + 21DSD day 2 updates
Yesterday was day two on my first-ever 21 Day Sugar Detox; I started on January 4 and I am loving it so far. Now I can’t say that I am not craving chocolate (and cheese; who am I kidding), and it is really hard for me not to nosh on cashews; they’re my favorite nut…
Paleo Breakfast Casserole
In our house, Breakfast Casserole means something very specific. Every year around the holiday season, we usually have family stay at our house and the customary breakfast used to be an egg and veggie casserole with a base of tater tots and topped with olive, onions, mushrooms, and peppers. When we went paleo, we subbed…
Pomegranate Chicken Salad with Pears
I remember the first time I ever ate a pomegranate. I was probably three or four years old at the time and I was at a friend’s house with my twin brother, and for some reason I was given a part of a pomegranate. I picked out and ate each of little seeds with my…
30 Minute Stuffed Acorn Squash
Fall comes early here in southern Wisconsin, and I couldn’t be more excited. Hunting season is just around the corner. I really think this is the year I’ll land a nice buck. We just got a scope mounted on the new rifle, and I’m daydreaming about how awesome this stuffed squash would taste with ground…
15 Paleo Meals Under 15 Minutes
I love cooking, and I could spend all day in the kitchen. Actually, I often do. Long, involved recipes do not faze me. But sometimes you’re starving and late for work, so you get home late and the kids are begging you for dinner. That’s what this list of recipes is for – all of…
Summer Minestrone Soup
Minestrone soup brings back a lot of memories for me. I remember the first time I went to Olive Garden. I went with my mom and we ordered their minestrone and amazing salad. Then we ate. And ate. Their minestrone is so delicious. After the delicious minestrone meal we went to see The Nutcracker…
