That’s right. This lasagna is “Guaranteed To Get You Laid.” This is another Matty Matheson recipe. We saw it on YouTube and I had to try it. What do you mean this is the way Italians should make lasagna? This is blasphemous. I couldn’t resist the temptation. My mouth is still watering thinking about the…

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancakes
We woke up last weekend and it was pretty dreary outside. Why not brighten it up with some pancakes? It’s fall and pumpkin season, so why not pumpkin pancakes? I think you guys all know by now that I’m gluten free and I’m not a great baker. Making pancakes is borderline baking, in my opinion….
Gluten Free Spaetzle
My husband absolutely loves German food- it’s part of his heritage. I also have a bit more than a drop of German in me, but I tend to gravitate more towards Italian foods. However, since it is October, he felt we needed to be reminded of our German roots and we threw a little “German…
Roasted Carrots Gastrique
This recipe is totally and completely inspired by Matty Matheson from his Thanksgiving episode on YouTube. If you’ve never heard of this guy, definitely check out my links. He is absolutely hilarious and a great chef. He’s just a real person, which I think makes him extremely likable. He only has a few videos on YouTube…
Simple Roast Chicken
Roasting a chicken does not take a long time and the meat can last you for quite a few days. Not only that, but you can make stock from the bones and leftovers. You can really get a lot from your money if you roast your own. You can also be creative and try different…
One Pan Chicken Dinner
Hate coming home from work, having to cook and then clean up? This recipe and these kinds of recipes completely take away all the cleanup for you, as everything is cooked in one pan- meat, veggies… everything. The vegetables come out roasted while the meat is juicy and delicious. Whoever thought of this should win…
Paleo Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos
Dear Lord. My mouth is watering just remembering this meal as I write it up for you guys. I absolutely cannot wait to make this again. I’m not a big seafood person (can you tell by my blog??), but everybody likes fried food. Not only that, but the sauce for this is crazy amazing. I’m…
Meal Planning and Grocery Shopping
I always get into talking about food with my friends and family members. Does that surprise anyone? I have my own blog and I am passionate about healthy ingredients. A lot of people don’t think about what they’re putting in their mouth. My philosophy is: if it comes in a bag or a box, it’s…
Paleo Pumpkin Chili
I’m as basic as they come. Mid-September hits and it can be 80 degrees outside, but I can be found with my Pumpkin Spiced Latte, boots and sweater snuggled up with a book (sweating…). Just like all the other basic white girls out there, I love fall. I love the crisp air, beautiful fall leaves,…
Grilled, Stuffed Portobellos
This is a side you can really get creative with. Portobellos are great building blocks if you are trying to avoid carbs- you can make mini pizzas! Portobellos go great with almost any flavor, so feel free to try different combos. You’ll figure out what you love the most and it’s a really easy staple…
Pork Tenderloin with Pureed Plum Sauce
This recipe is currently one of my favorites. The plum sauce pairs absolutely perfectly with the pork tenderloin. As you can see, I had side dishes of broccoli and mashed potatoes. I have made this dish for my parents and then later for my grandparents and it was a hit both times. This is a…
Sloppy Joe’s
This recipe was a HUGE hit in my house. Who doesn’t love Sloppy Joe’s?? Everyone loves Sloppy Joe’s. That meaty sweet flavor… it reminds us of childhood, of family. This recipe is super simple and super delicious. I made a large salad on the side and got little gluten free buns for me and my…
