I’ve stared buying a rotisserie chicken once a week. Could I make one? Yes. I could. But I have two kids, a business to run, a house to clean, food to prep and I just want a damn pre-made chicken, okay?! Also, I’ve been blogging for ten years. TEN YEARS. I blogged when no one knew what it was and people thought I was fucking nuts. Now, I have to write at least 300 words for my post to have good SEO, and good SEO means Google will share my recipes and posts when people search for them. Are you annoyed by all this text when you just want the damn keto rotisserie chicken salad recipe? SO AM I. So if you haven’t seen it yet, I have a “jump to recipe” button above. Feel free to use it to be taken directly to the recipe. Because I know you…

This meal prep chicken & veggie salad was SO delicious and ready in under five minutes thanks to a lil’ Sunday prep! On Sunday, I clean. I make food for the week. I plan the next five days out so that I’m organized. And you guys. It makes a HUGE difference in my stress, happiness and overall quality of life. I know what I need to get done and when to do it. I know that I’m not going to be rushing every morning to make lunch for my son’s pre-k. I know that I don’t have to take time each day to make a ton of food. I know that I’m saving money by not eating out. And it f*cking rules. It makes my life SO much easier. This week I made a bunch of veggies and proteins and then I’ve ended up throwing them in a bowl each…

What can I say? This gluten-free veggie shakshuka was everything I’d hoped it would be: freaking delicious, beautiful, full of delicious veggies and healthy protein and topped with fresh herbs and cheese. Name a better breakfast. You CAN’T. Seriously you guys, this was so good. I love waking up and making a healthy, delicious and filling breakfast. I feel like this is a breakfast I would make if I were living in the Italian or French countryside, growing my own veggies and raising chickens. It just feels fancy and European and it’s so delicious. I actually have no idea what I’m talking about, seeing as I’ve never been to the Italian or French countryside. But like, doesn’t it just seems like that kind of breakfast?? Health benefits of this recipe: rich in protein – each person gets three eggs which is nearly 20 grams of useable, healthy proteineggs are incredibly…

I really love the flavors of rosemary honey dijon chicken and I meal prepped this for easy proteins throughout the week! I’m alllll about some meal prep. Saves me time. Saves me money. Reduces stress. I’m never scrambling to figure out what to eat throughout the week, I never stress about what to pack in my four year-old’s school lunch. My meal prep menu this week included: this rosemary honey dijon chicken (if that was not obvious)steamed broccoliroasted balsamic brussels sprouts (toss in olive oil and balsamic glaze, roast on 415 for 15-20)buttered carrots (peel, chop, boil, drain, toss in butter) sweet potato rounds (peel, slice, boil) chimichurri (one bunch of parsley, one bunch of garlic, a bunch of green onions, lots of olive oil and some red wine vinegar – blend until smooth) Tips: I grilled this recipe, which is SO quick and easy and requires next to no…

This paleo huevos rancheros recipe is surprisingly easy, quick, healthy, gluten-free, keto and low fodmap! I love food. It’s as simple as that. I saw a popular Instagrammer post a plain salad with chicken and talk about how she just loves boring meals (no shame, good for her) and while that’s cool – it ain’t me. I don’t like boring food. I want variety, I want flavor, I want spices and depth and deliciousness. And I want it to be healthy. That’s how I came up with this huevos rancheros recipe! It’s not a traditional recipe and I’m sure any native Central American would make a better version, this is how I made it. And honestly, it was pretty damn good. Health benefits of paleo huevos rancheros: 20 grams of protein, mostly from the eggsrich in choline from the egg yolksloaded with antioxidants from the tomatoes, bell pepper and avocadorich…

This Mexican breakfast hash is paleo, whole30, gluten-free and SO delicious and filling. It’s packed with protein and veggies too. Unlike my husband, I need some variety with my breakfasts. I don’t want the same thing every morning. My favorite thing is to actually look up breakfast and brunch menus at cool restaurants and recreate the recipes at home. This recipe was born mostly out of boredom with scrambled eggs. And craving tacos for breakfast. But I don’t love egg tacos, so here ya go. Health benefits of this Mexican Breakfast Hash: it’s Whole30, paleo, gluten-free and keto if you omit the potoatocontains six different veggies, which is great for beneficial gut bacteriacontains roughly 25g proteinrich in healthy fatscontains b12, iron, zinc, choline, selenium, biotin and a variety of b vitaminsrich in antioxidants from plant foodsgrass-fed ground beef is high in omega-3s and great for the earth Tips: feel free…

I will not let my love of margaritas be limited to Cinco de Mayo, taco nights and summertime. Margaritas are a year-round treat, people! And this crazy good cranberry Christmas margarita is proof of that! There are only two types of alcohol I drink: wine and tequila. I love my wine, particularly with a delicious meal. Or better yet, oysters. A crisp glass of sauvignon blanc with a delicious oyster is one of my favorite treats ever. But a margarita is so fun, so festive. And while most people think a margarita is more appropriate for tacos, for summertime and/or Cinco de Mayo – margaritas are actually super versatile. Plus, they don’t give you a hangover like beer or wine and certainly not like brown liquor would. So back to this margarita. I made it and sat by my tree and sipped it while my sons and husband played. It…

You guys. I love margaritas. And this paleo apple cider vinegar margarita is the perfect drink this fall! I made this margarita on Saturday for Halloween. If you’re wondering what I was for Halloween, the answer is RBG. See below. I went to Goodwill about four hours before the start of trick or treating and managed to pull this together. Not the best, because I am NOT crafty. But people knew who I was, so I’ll take it. Also I just moved to the south so I had to rep, you know? Anyway. I made this paleo apple cider vinegar margarita before we hopped on the golf cart and took the kids trick or treating. I like alcohol, not too much and definitely not with a lot of sugar. I drink maybe once during the week (a glass of wine or something if we go out) and then Friday/Saturday on…
