Cooking and eating delicious food this month is really what kept me going, and I can’t wait to share more of my favorite new recipes.

Chicken Tortilla-less Soup
Have you noticed I’m on a soup kick lately? We’re having a chilly winter in Houston and the flu is going around something fierce. Warm bowls of soup — like this Whole30 Chicken Tortilla-less Soup — help me feel like I’m warding off illness, even if that’s a total farce. This Chicken Tortilla-less Soup is…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 5
SUNDAY Instant Pot Korean Short Ribs from Nom Nom Paleo look insanely delicious. Pair them with steamed broccoli or bok choy and tangy slaw. To make the slaw Whole30, use almond butter instead of peanut butter and coconut aminos instead of soy. MONDAY Spiralized zucchini with almond-sesame sauce. I’ll use coconut aminos instead of tamari…
Roasted Cauliflower Hummus (Whole30 and Paleo)
I’ve uncovered a trick to help you rock your Whole30: Good sauces, salad dressings and snacks to keep you satisfied. When I was prepping to teach a cooking workshop at The Vintage Roundtop recently, I wanted to include one of my favorite recipes for healthy 7-layer dip. I’ll post that recipe soon, but it’s basically…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 4
SUNDAY It’s football playoffs and the celebration of a successful 8th grade musical performance (and the end of rehearsals). Another batch of buffalo chicken wings is in the works and my kids requested enchiladas. The Against All Grain Easy Enchilada Sauce is Whole30 compliant. Mix two cups of shredded rotisserie chicken with a 1/2 cup of…
Buffalo Chicken Wings

And by the way, I’ve never used the word “compliant” so much in my entire life. The chicken wings are truly a three ingredient recipe:…
Dairy-Free Creamy Tomato Soup
When I was growing up, I loved a warm bowl of Campbell’s Tomato Soup and a side of buttery toast cut in triangles. It’s a cold and blustery day in Houston, and nothing sounds better than a big pot of creamy tomato soup. While I haven’t had a bowl of Campbell’s in at least two…
Whole 30 Meal Plan // Week 3
Here we are, rolling into week 3 of Whole 30 meal plans. For the most part, I’m not craving anything (except maybe the beer in the photo above). I’m sleeping like a champ, although I’ve been tired every afternoon. Not sure if that’s my Hashimoto’s and low thyroid talking, or the zen of Whole 30….
Whole30 Meal Plan // Week 2
Whole30 Meal Plan // Week 2 Guys. Not sure if you feel like I do, but I’m a little worn out. I’ve been sleeping like a champ and following Whole30 to the letter, but I’m still walking around in a fog. Either my energy is sapped from breaking up sibling fights, or from the loss…
