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. Liz A.Mother-blogger (watch your mouth). Frugal Foodie. Never measured 

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? Liz A.Mother-blogger (watch your mouth). Frugal Foodie. Never

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

Chipotles are the smokiest of peppers. They are the bacon to boring ham. The backyard, charcoal-grilled burgers to stovetop cooked. Liz A.Mother-blogger (watch your mouth). Frugal Foodie.

Easy Cauliflower Falafel with Spicy Carrot & Tahini Drizzle Recipe

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? Liz A.Mother-blogger (watch your mouth). Frugal Foodie. Never measured an ingredient

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. Liz A.Mother-blogger (watch your mouth). Frugal Foodie. Never 

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

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
