Thick & Hearty Meat Sauce

Nov 29, 2018

You’ll notice I didn’t call this a bolognese, and I didn’t call it a ragu. That’s because it’s just a no frills, weeknight friendly, good ol’ meat sauce like the kind I grew up eating. Ground beef, garlic, onions, canned tomatoes. It doesn’t get much simpler!

Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potato Noodle Bake

Sep 7, 2018

This buffalo chicken "pasta" bake is super easy to throw together! The hardest part is spiralizing the sweet potatoes (which takes some muscles!), but after that, you basically throw everything (raw) into a casserole dish, bake it, stir it, bake it some more, and dive face first into buffalo-chicken-goodness.

Thick & Creamy Date Mustard Dressing

Feb 25, 2017

There's something about a good tangy/sweet combo that gets me every time. This dressing has a lot of that going on, but instead of being thin and runny like a vinaigrette, it's super thick and creamy thanks to a handful of cashews thrown in! It's sweetened with dates, so it will satisfy your cravings for a classic honey mustard even if you are doing a Whole30!

Stuffed Pepper Soup with Cauliflower Rice

Feb 6, 2017

This soup is thick and hearty like a chili, and has all of the good parts of a stuffed pepper, but in a bowl! To make it paleo and Whole30, I subbed in cauliflower rice (instead of white rice or brown rice which is in the original recipe). I also cut out the junk-filled canned tomato soup and replaced it with straight up tomato sauce.

Turkey Reuben Casserole

Dec 17, 2016

I used to think I hated rye bread. And when I was a little kid, I wouldn't touch sauerkraut with a ten foot pole. But these days, I love a good reuben sandwich. I recreated the classic into a casserole, using turkey since that's what I had on hand. And don't skip the caraway seeds -- they give it that signature rye-bread flavor.

This recipe checks all of those boxes, and it's also healthy and super easy!
