Just in time for the Super Bowl, something you can sink your teeth into (since JT is taken). These French Dip Sandwiches have been a staple in our house since a friend turned me on to them a few years ago. They take all of five minutes to throw together, and you can keep them…

Buffalo Chicken Wings
Whole30 Buffalo Chicken Wings Crispy, tangy, salty, crunchy. My mouth is watering just remembering these indulgent bites of buffalo chicken wings. If I hadn’t made them myself, I wouldn’t believe they were Whole30 compliant. And by the way, I’ve never used the word “compliant” so much in my entire life. The chicken wings are truly…

Kale and White Bean Minestrone
Clean out your fridge soup. Pantry soup. Everything soup. I wasn’t quite sure what to call this one.
