Crispy Tofu with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce (Vegan)

Do you think you don’t like tofu? I thought that for a long time too. It doesn’t really have much of a flavor in its natural state. It has kind of a squishy, egg-like texture. No thanks. Then I had crispy tofu. And my life 

Zucchini and Carrot Toddler Muffins Recipe

Zucchini and Carrot Toddler Muffins Recipe

I’m not trying to complain. On the spectrum, my toddler eats really well. He’s (almost always) willing to try new foods and (usually) likes (some) things. But he’s still a toddler and still has random preferences.

Sweet and Smoky Stuffed Peppers With Creamy Chipotle Sauce

Sweet and Smoky Stuffed Peppers With Creamy Chipotle Sauce

Most stuffed peppers I’ve seen involve a filling of meat and rice. I like rice as much as the next person, but what if you’re eating paleo, grain-free or summoning your willpower to finish your Whole30 strong?

Smoky Chipotle Egg Bake with Cilantro Sour Cream, Whole30, Paleo

Best Chocolate Chip Brownies Recipe From Scratch

Best Chocolate Chip Brownies Recipe From Scratch

Why are boxed mix brownies SO. FREAKING. GOOD? The fudgy, rich texture, deep chocolate flavor and crackly top you get with brownies baked from a box of brownie mix is what I crave every time I make brownies from scratch. And to be totally honest,

Mexican Cauliflower Rice (Whole30 or Vegan)

Are you Paleo? Killing your Whole30 challenge? Just a regular guy / gal trying to up your veggie intake or go full-on sneaky parent tricking your kiddos into eating their veggies? This’ll work for all those scenarios.

We are cast iron skillet people. I mean exclusive cast iron skillet people. We have 4 sizes: super huge, normal but still pretty large, kinda small, and real super small. We haven’t owned a “normal” skillet in probably close to 5 years. True life: we 

Whole30 Eggs Benedict

Whole30 Eggs Benedict

Eggs benedict. The type of rich, decadent, delicious breakfast you don’t expect to be able to eat on Whole30. I don’t mean to brag, but figuring out ways to eat delicious things even on restrictive diets is kind of my specialty. Actually…I don’t know if 

Southwestern Sausage and Potato Skillet Recipe

Southwestern Sausage and Potato Skillet Recipe
