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.

It’s soup season ya’ll! And this Gluten-Free Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken Soup is perfect for these colder months and darker days! I get very into soup when cold weather rolls in. I mean, to be fair, I now live in Charleston, SC where “cold” weather is like, 55 degrees. Which works out very well for me, since I hate being cold. But I still love to snuggle up to a dining room table with my family and just chat while our Christmas tree sparkles in the background – while eating soup. It’s so damn homey.

This gluten-free white chicken chili is perfect for a chilly fall day or even a hot summer one. Would also be great when it’s snowing. Okay whatever it’s so good you can eat it year round. Everyone Halloween I make chili. I don’t know why, I just started doing it years ago and never stopped. I like traditions. But honestly, I don’t really like chili. And I make good chili. Fresh spices, lots of onions and peppers, high quality grass-fed beef. It’s definitely delicious. I just don’t really care for chili. Since it’s almost Halloween and I like to make warming meals, even though it’s currently 83 degrees here in Charleston – I wanted to make a chili I’d actually enjoy. The tomato based chili is not for me. Enter the white chicken chili! This white chicken chili is: gluten-freehigh in fiber thanks to the beanshigh in protein courtesy of…

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…

After seeing some emerging details about this program, I’m totally horrified that women are investing thousands in such a dangerous program. So here is an unbiased review of All In by Teddi Mellencamp. Listen, I watch Housewives. Beverly Hills is not and has never been at the top of my list. Let’s be honest, they just can’t keep up with New York. Last night I got sucked into Emily Gellis Lande’s Instagram about All In by Teddi Mellencamp. I wasn’t familiar with the program and I was shocked to see so many women sharing horror stories. My shock turned to anger when I saw that Teddi is now promoting her program for postpartum mothers. As a mother myself, that anyone would promote this starvation diet to a woman in her most vulnerable time is sickening. For the record, I have some several unbiased reviews on various programs, meal replacements and…

This easy chicken and veggie green curry is paleo, keto, gluten-free and crazy good. It’s perfect for meal prep and tastes better the next day! I’ve been craving warmer, spicier dishes lately. Maybe it’s because fall has already seemingly visited DC and it’s only August. It’s raining consistently and it’s often in the 60s. I’m not ready for it because I’m a summer lover through and through, but I do love a big bowl of warm, spicy, flavorful curry. I got some really beautiful Asian eggplant from the farmers market and paired it with eggplant I grew in my backyard. I LOVE eggplant. You can add any veggies you like. Bell peppers and shiitake mushrooms would be brilliant in this dish. I found half a bag of broccoli, cauliflower and carrot mix in my freezer, so I tossed that in. Then I topped with 1lb of chicken breasts from my…

This summer pasta salad is gluten-free, dairy free, easy to throw together and insanely delicious! It’s the perfect side dish for summer and goes great at a cookout or barbecue! I think I’ve come up with the most perfect pasta salad. Truth be told, I make a lot of pasta salad. It’s my summer staple. Anytime we’re invited to a cookout or if we’re hosting one, my husband inevitably says, “What are you making? Let me guess. It is f*cking pasta salad again?!” Don’t let him fool you. We love pasta salad. And he normally eats most of it. Also don’t be deterred by the f word. We think it’s funny to jab each other and have been doing so for nearly ten years. This is an Italian style pasta salad, minus the Italian dressing. Trust me, fresh herbs and good olive oil are SO MUCH BETTER. I like to…
