Whenever Scott and I are trying to figure out a healthy dinner date, I always suggest Greek food. Not only is the food amazing, but it’s so easy to eat a nutritious meal at Greek restaurants. Beyond lamb stew, they are just the bomb. Taramosalata dip (aka fish egg dip) with cucumbers? Amazing. Mushrooms stuffed with spinach and feta? I die. A simple Greek salad with gyro meat on top? The freaking best salad, anywhere, ever. So I try to cook a lot of Greek food. This week I had a pound of lamb shanks from the farm and decided to throw a stew into the crockpot before I left for work. It turned out so well, and my entire apartment smelled like a delicious Greek joint. Greek Lamb Stew This easy slow-cooked Greek Lamb Stew made in the crockpot is perfect for cold days!

I love me some easy dinners. Every weekend I take a few hours to prep some food for the week. It makes life so much easier. Last weekend I chopped up some veggies and pork and marinated them. When I got home on Tuesday, I barely felt like moving, much less cooking. Thankfully, I skewered the veggies and pork, sliced some potatoes and threw them in the oven. One pan. Ready in under 45 minutes. Paleo Pork Kabobs Last weekend I chopped up some veggies and pork and marinated them. When I got home on Tuesday, I barely felt like moving, much less cooking.

I’ve mentioned before that Scott is a vegetarian. When we first started dating he was a vegan. It was seriously challenging to feed that man. Since then I like to think that I’ve upped my vegetarian cooking game. I am constantly trying to come up with vegetarian recipes that are unprocessed, free of grains and legumes and yet still full of healthy fats and proteins. It ain’t easy but I get it done.   20 Minute Meal: Spicy Mexican Veggie Egg Bake (Paleo & Primal) I am constantly trying to come up with vegetarian recipes that are unprocessed, free of grains and legumes and yet still full of healthy fats and proteins.

Spaghetti is Scott’s favorite food and let’s be honest, zucchini noodles just don’t cut it. It’s not the same. I gave up spaghetti for a long time because I don’t eat wheat, until I found white rice noodles (which turned out to be an awesome gluten-free and safe starch alternative). I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. I thought it would be a lot like eating pad Thai or pho noodles with spaghetti sauce on top. Gross. But it turns out, they’re awesome. The white rice spaghetti noods have the same texture as regular ol’ pasta, and they don’t have a strange taste. Pasta on its own isn’t flavorful, so the noodles just taste like whatever sauce you add to them. And for the sauce I used fresh summer tomatoes and basil that we got from the farmers market. It was amazing. I love fresh, homemade sauces. It was so summery.…
