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…

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…
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…
Weekly Meal Plan // Week 1
Here we go! It’s time to roll into New Year’s resolutions. Some say it’s not healthy to indulge and deprive, but sorry, I’m a human being. Really, it’s all about perspective. In January, I plan to add things to my diet. More whole foods, more vegetables, more healthy fats that fill me up and keep…
Christmas Menus
If you’re in charge of cooking for anyone besides yourself this Christmas, it’s time to make a game plan. How many people are you feeding? What time are you eating? How exhausted will you be? Let’s talk Christmas menus, friends… I won’t make everything listed here, but wanted to give you several ideas to choose…
Weekly Meal Plan: December 18-23
WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS DINNERS Sure, your “to do” list may be getting shorter (or maybe it’s not). Either way, this is a week full of activity. Kids are home from school, gifts need to be wrapped, stocking stuffers squared away. I’m linking a few of my favorite “brainless” weeknight dinners without much chopping or prep….
Weekly Meal Plan: December 10-15
It’s our last week of school before the winter break, thank goodness! Cards need to be mailed, packages wrapped and shipped and the list needs to be checked twice. With a packed schedule this week, I want to make sure our dinners are as easy as possible. We will rely on pantry staples and a…
Weekly Meal Plan: December 3-December 8
I’ve decided to “shop my freezer” this week. We have a full size freezer and it’s brimming with good-quality meat from Yonder Way Farm, frozen organic vegetables and homemade chicken bone broth (just what the doctor ordered for winter sniffles). This week I have cooking classes and food photography to shop for. As far as…
Weekly Meal Plan: November 26-December 1
Currently we have an unlit Christmas tree in the middle of the room, furniture that needs to be relocated until after the holidays and no elves anywhere in sight. Tomorrow morning school starts again, and with it three more weeks of routine and homework until we head to our family’s happy place in Idaho. Before…
