Gluten-Free Leftover Turkey and Wild Rice Soup

This gluten-free leftover turkey and wild rice soup is the perfect way to use up the bones and leftover meat from your Thanksgiving turkey! Every Thanksgiving I buy a huge turkey. In years past it’s because I often invite people last minute – people I find don’t have anywhere to go, a last minute guest showing up, and because I want to make sure everyone has enough AND I have leftovers. God I love leftovers. This year is different. This year there is a pandemic and like the experts warned, winter is surging. So it’s just my immediate family and my mother in law. We drove home to DC from Charleston and are having a lil’ Thanksgiving, just three adults and two toddlers. So why the hell did I buy a 17lb turkey? It’s my nature. I feed people even when there aren’t people to feed. And now I have…

These Asian chicken wings are only five ingredients plus they’re gluten-free, keto, paleo and super healthy! Ya’ll. I hate Buffalo sauce. Like it is just NOT good.

Asian Ground Chicken Bowl (Paleo, Gluten-Free, Keto Option)

This Asian Ground Chicken Bowl is easy to make, paleo, gluten-free and has a keto option. Also it’s crazy good, ya’ll. The other day I was thinking of what to make for dinner. I had gotten up at 5am to go to a Yoga Sculpt class (basically yoga with cardio and weight and it kicks your ass). Then I worked until 3pm. Then I took my kids on a walk, went to the park, changed two diapers and chased my kids while they sped away from me on scooters. It was roughly 5:13pm and I thought, “Well shit I’m tired and really don’t feel like making dinner.” Then I strongly considered ordering Chipotle. But then I remember I had ground chicken in the fridge. And ground chicken is EASY. It’s versatile, it cooks up in a matter of minutes and it fully absorbs whatever sauce you add – making saucy…

Gluten-Free Summer Shrimp Pasta

This gluten-free summer shrimp pasta is the perfect special meal to jazz up a boring weeknight – plus it’s crazy good. I made this pasta last Tuesday and all of my boys ate it up. Husband went back for thirds and both little dudes had seconds, topped with lots of parmesan of course. Those kids freaking love cheese. For this recipe I used fresh summer herbs from my garden, the sweetest cherry tomatoes and honestly – organic frozen corn. It’s just easier. I could buy fresh corn from the market and cut it off the cob and all that, and you’re welcome to, but I didn’t. And it was still perfect and summery and delicious. Corn is like little kernels of delicious summer treats. My kids scarf down whatever I make as long as corn is present. Tips for this recipe: Save the juice after you cook the corn and…

Mexican Sheet Pan Chicken Tacos (Paleo, Keto)

Easy to assemble and quick to clean up, this healthy Paleo & Keto Mexican Sheet Pan Chicken Tacos recipe will become your family’s new favorite. Sheet pan meals in general and this healthy paleo chicken sheet pan dinner, in particular, are my latest obsession. Now that my boys are both super mobile – they’re 3 and 18 months, I don’t have the same time frame to make elaborate roast chicken dinners. When I had one kid or even when the baby was still a baby, I had time to sautee the peppers and onions or lovingly toss the chicken in a skillet. That time is now usually spent at a park trying to prevent toddlers from running into traffic. That’s not even an exaggeration. My youngest thinks this is a fun game to play. Reasons to cook more sheet pan dinners: Trust me, having a couple of easy recipes like these…
