This was one of the easiest dinners, ever. I do a lot of my meat shopping at Costco because I can get high quality meat for almost half the price of what I can get in the supermarket. We were having company on Sunday, so I picked up these ribs- there were two racks in…

Pulled Buffalo Chicken Salad
This is a really great summer recipe. It’s really easy to make when you get home and it’s a blast of flavor in your mouth. I find that it’s not too spicy, but it satisfies everyone on the spice-spectrum. You can make this recipe as is or exchange some of the veg ingredients. I also…
Slow Cooker Roast
This is a version of pot roast that comes from my “Paleo Slow Cooking” book by Chrissy Gower. Another really easy recipe where you can simply chop up a few things in the morning and throw it all into the crock pot. Set it and forget it!!! I easily roasted some little potatoes for the…
Homemade Potato Pancakes
My husband made these potato pancakes from scratch, using this recipe. I definitely recommend it. I was really impressed by the taste and texture- and he said they were relatively easy! He modified it to make it gluten free. We paired it with our homemade German Sauerbraten, red cabbage and sauerkraut. You’ll have to wait…
Sage and Sausage Gluten Free Pizza
We started off by making this pizza crust which I would definitely recommend if you’re trying to eat gluten free. We made the crust around lunch time and let it sit in the fridge- we find that it’s easier to mold/control if it’s a little cool. It gets pretty sticky with all the cheese melted together,…
Turkey Chili
I’ll be honest with you- I did not have high hopes for this recipe. I’ve made turkey chilis in the past and they’ve never really been tasty. I’ve always believed that you need those good fats from beef, sausage, lamb to make chili really super tasty. Boy, was I wrong. This is another recipe I…
The Best Flank Steak Marinade
I enjoy the simple things in life. A piece of flank steak is one of them. A piece of flank steak that’s been marinating in the best marinade on the planet overnight that makes your taste buds sing when you put it in your mouth… Even better. I’ve been searching for a really good marinade…
Blueberry Raspberry Smoothie Bowl
I am the worst at getting up in the morning. I barely have time to take my dog for a quick walk, shower and run out the door. I stay in bed until the last possible second and then my breakfast suffers and therefore I suffer for the rest of the day. I’ve gotten into the habit…
Chicken Tikka Masala
This recipe is always a hit- even with people who think they don’t like Indian food. Luckily, everyone in my house loves it! This recipe is really simple and just requires some prep the night before or right when you get home from work. I love to pair it with some sautéed broccoli and cilantro…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Man- the house smelled great when I got home from work. It’s such a relief being able to walk through that door, throw my bag down and be able to do whatever I want- whether that’s clean the house, workout, or veg out on an entire Netflix series for 6 hours. I love to cook- don’t…
Chocolate Chili
This is one of our favorite recipes that we keep coming back to. I don’t repeat a lot of recipes- I like to make new things all the time. But I make this at least once a month. I want to kiss whoever thought of putting chocolate in chili. It’s not really chocolate, but cocoa powder…
Lunch Ideas- Jaqi’s Fat Salad
My husband and I do a lot of meal prep on the weekends to cut down what we have to do during the week. We usually have a “cooking party” on Sunday afternoons in the kitchen- getting breakfast and lunches ready (as much as we can) for the week. This week, “Jaqi’s Fat Salad” was…
