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.

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?

Chipotles are the smokiest of peppers. They are the bacon to boring ham. The backyard, charcoal-grilled burgers to stovetop cooked.

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, …

I LOVE a good falafel. And I love a good bean (is a chickpea a bean? I say yes!) But what about when you’re in the middle of Whole30 and get a falafel hankering?

This skillet is the best kind of meal. It’s humble and unassuming. You can chop the ingredients any way you want. The flavors party in your mouth. The salty and spicy balance each other perfectly. The runny egg yolks provide a built-in sauce. It comes …

Did your mom ever give you spaghetti squash as a kid and pass it off as actual spaghetti? Maybe not. Well mine did and I loved it then (usually with butter and brown sugar cause mama ain’t above a bribe) and I love it now. …

This might be the prettiest crust I’ve ever made. It kind of looks like dainty little flower petals, and I’m not going to lie to you, I’m dang proud of it.

I’ve done Whole30 enough to know that cheese is BY FAR the food group I miss most (… and bread. And ice cream. And sweetness in my coffee. But mostly cheese… ). *Stares into the distance and thinks about cheese*
