Eleven more days of Whole30, not that I’m counting. I honestly haven’t missed the dairy, sugar, bread or pasta. Delicious Whole30 dinners and egg-based breakfasts have kept me satisfied and full. Not to mention my favorite lunch of chipotle mayo and lime tuna salad heaped inside half an avocado. That said, it hasn’t been a…

Whole30 Meal Plan // Week of September 17
I’m writing this from a flight back to Houston from San Diego, and just let me confirm that the rumors are true: The weather is better in California. Ha! I grew up in Southern California and never thought I’d spend a major chunk of my adult life in Houston, Texas, and raise my children here….

Whole30 Meal Plan // Week of September 10
MONDAY We have a few extra kids coming over before their first Young Life meeting tonight. I’m making a big batch of weeknight chili and putting out all the fixings (grated cheese, sour cream, corn bread). If you’re doing Whole30, scoop out some of the chili before adding the beans. I may stir in a cup…

Shortcut caesar salad to the rescue. It’s a super easy side to grilled steak or delicious as a main dish topped with roasted…
Whole30 Green Gazpacho
Green Gazpacho Sometimes it takes me a whole year to get a recipe on this site. And some of you thought I had it together. My friend Kim from Something New for Dinner took these photos last July in a cooking class I hosted for friends and family in Sun Valley, Idaho. I’m finally…
Sriracha Mayo
Need a delicious condiment that will take your burger night from ho-hum to hurray? Sriracha mayo is my go-to for burgers or an out-of-this-world BLT. You can also use it as a dip for roasted potato wedges or shishito peppers. Spicy, with a touch of soy and lime, it takes all of five minutes to…
Slow Roasted Sockeye Salmon
Slow Roasted Salmon with Lemon and Dill Slow roasted salmon with lemon and dill is easy, fresh and fast. A low and slow temperature melts the fat in the salmon and makes the finished product super tender. Top it with herbed yogurt sauce or chermoula for a dish that’s simple enough for a weeknight meal and impressive…
