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
Buffalo Chicken Wings (Whole30 and Delicious!) 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. Buffalo chicken wings are truly a three ingredient recipe: ghee, hot sauce and wings. Feel free to substitute avocado…
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…

Today I cleaned out my refrigerator so it’s ready for the haul I plan to bring home tomorrow. You don’t necessarily need all of these items to be successful, but I’ve included essentials for this week’s…
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…
New Year’s Eve Fondue Party
Think of this as your last hurrah before resolutions come knocking. Do it up big, with a fondue and wine party to satisfy a crowd. Warm gooey cheese and melted, fragrant chocolate wrap up a season of indulgence with a big red bow. Fondue is my love language, especially if I have on ski boots…
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…
Savory Breakfast Bread Pudding
Christmas Eve tends to be a late night: Candlelight services, dinner with family, elfing into the wee hours. When you wake up Christmas morning, the last thing on your mind should be what to feed a house full of ravenous family. Keep your people satiated, and keep your sanity, with a little advance planning. Make…
