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…
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…
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…
Moroccan Meatballs
This recipe was VERY labor intensive. Whoever wrote this book and said the prep was 15 minutes is a big liar. If I had an assembly line, I’d might be able to get it done in that time (or maybe if the permanent roommate was home to help me out), but it probably took me…
Beef Stir Fry
This recipe turned out great and was a hit in the house for dinner tonight. We’ve done impromptu stir-fries before, but never used a recipe- just thrown things together. The only thing I would change in the future is to season the beef beforehand to give it a little more depth of flavor. I would…
Butternut Squash Soup
Have I talked about how much I love my slow cooker? I love my slow cooker. I throw ingredients in it in the morning, or even the night before, turn it on and walk out the door! When I come home from work, I only have to assemble a side dish or sometimes nothing at all. I…
Spaghetti Squash
If you’ve never made spaghetti squash, you need to try it. It’s a super easy alternative to spaghetti. However, I have to warn you- in no way will this taste like or mimic the texture of pasta. If anyone is trying to sell you that spaghetti squash can 100% replace pasta, they’re lying to you…
Braised Beef Short Ribs
I tried this recipe for the first time last week. The house smelled so good while I was cooking it! The house always smells good when I cook, but there was something about this recipe- there was a little extra magic in the air. Be warned- this is not a “get home from work and…
