If I had to pick my favorite dinner ever, it would be spaghetti and meatballs. I’ve loved it since… forever! I cook it and eat it quite often for either lunch or dinner. So, with this whole30 month, I’ve been really missing it. Spaghetti squash was never that appetizing to me because of how much […]
Every year, Trevor and I make Amelia’s birthday cake. For her first birthday, we made a teapot (that was so hard!!). For her second birthday, we made a bear cake. It was cute, but messy and she loved it. Today is Amelia’s 3rd birthday and she wanted a rainbow unicorn cake. So, we set out […]
It’s 24 degrees today, so it’s the perfect day to bring out my red cast iron pot to make this soup! It’s my go-to pot, especially when making my weekly soup. This week, I made a Whole30 friendly Portuguese soup. It’s a tomato based soup full of two different kinds of meat and veggies. While […]
I’m a huge fan of mussels because they’re so easy to make and absorb any flavor you throw at them. This asian curry dish is no exception! It reminds me of my brother, who lives in Japan. He loves strong flavors and spice and would clear his entire bowl of mussels in one sitting. The […]
I’m trying to balance the heavy meat options of Whole30 with lots of veggies so my stomach doesn’t hate me! This is a great option for lunch or dinner that keeps me full and satisfied and not hating meal time. The salad has crunch, creaminess and a mediterranean feel to it that I absolutely love.
I was craving chicken tonight instead of mussels, so I changed the order of the week around a little bit. And I’m glad I did! This dinner is a taste of summer in the dead of winter and exactly what I needed tonight. It’s been so cold, the only way to make it through is […]
On Monday’s, I try to eat meatless which is hard on Whole30 given how meat heavy it is. So this vegetarian power bowl was really satisfying for me in week 2! As my taste buds start to change, I find that I pick up on sweetness and saltiness in places I never used to, like […]
Tis the season for warm flavors and hot soups. Winter squash makes the BEST soups and this one has an unexpected twist of tofu. Even though there is currently a debate on eating tofu on the Paleo diet, I am ok eating it in moderation from time to time. Adding protein without taking away from […]
The other day, I was looking through Amelia’s 1st year photo album and I saw a picture of us apple picking. She was eating her first whole apple and loving it. She would take the tiniest bites and the juice would dribble down her chin. She laughed so hard and her innocence made my heart […]
I do love chili and I love it even more when I know it’s easy to make! Here’s an easy Whole30 approved chili that will keep you warm all winter long. It’s full of good for you veggies and doesn’t lack any taste! I made it in my crockpot, but there are directions for an […]
