I’m on a coconut milk kick this month and it’s so weird for me because for most of my life, I thought I was allergic to coconut. Here’s why… when I was a little girl, my gram took me to get ice cream from the ice cream truck. I picked a coconut ice pop and […]
Every once in a while, I crave tacos. It’s a funny thing to crave, I know. But it set in this weekend while I was making my shopping list. So, I wanted to make sure I had a whole30 way of eating these this week. I used lettuce as the taco shell, stirred up a […]
When I was pregnant with each of my girls, all I wanted was a turkey sandwich even though I don’t eat them very often (you’re not supposed to eat deli meat when preggers for fear of listeria infections). Apparently, you always want what you can’t have! So, I started roasting my own turkeys, freezing the […]
A few months back, my friend Jill told me about this amazing dinner she made with moroccan vegetables. I keep a running list of food ideas of things I want to make and quickly added this one. I forgot about it until recently and realized it’s the perfect whole30 dinner with some of my favorite […]
I used to live in Buffalo, NY many years ago. I was there for my undergrad and graduate degrees for a total of 6 freezing cold years. At every event I went to, there was some form of a Buffalo chicken dip served, typically in a slow cooker with veggies, crackers & bread. It was […]
There’s an amazing falafel restaurant here in Hoboken called Mamouns. It originated in NYC and lucky for me, opened a location close to my home so I didn’t have to keep traveling into the city to get my falafel fix. That’s how good the falafel at Mamouns is. When I started out on this Whole30 […]
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.
Every year during Hanukkah growing up, my parents would get a nice brisket for the entire family that we’d all enjoy on Hanukkah. My mom used beer to tenderize and marinate it in all sorts of things (from broth to beer) and over the years, more and more vegetables were added to the mix. I […]
My husband, Trevor, LOVESSSSSS honey mustard. It’s a weird obsession that we non-honey-mustard-loving-people don’t understand. Never-the-less, I made some homemade honey mustard to cook this chicken and apple recipe in and it’s tasty! The honey really makes the mustard less sharp which we both loved. So maybe all I needed to be converted was a […]
Apple season is here! And everyone always wants to create sweet dishes with all the apples – apple cake, apple muffins, even apple sauce. But, you can make savory dishes as well! This salmon dish uses fresh apple cider that you can get at any supermarket or apple orchard after you finish apple picking. It […]
