Comfort Food: Shepherd’s Pie
Tweet I’m on a comfort food mission. This dish is something that was often in our fridge or freezer growing up. It’s inexpensive, easy to make, freezes well and hits the comfort food spot. What’s not to love? I even have my roommate Amy’s approval, as she ended up eating it for breakfast and lunch …read the rest
Crock Pot: Getting back to your root veggies
Tweet Winter makes me think of root veggies: butternut squash, carrots, sweet potato, parsnips, suede, celeriac. It’s the time of year I want to turn my oven on and fill up the whole house with the warmth and toasty smell as the vegetables caramelize slowly. However, roasting veggies can take way too long when I …read the rest
Comfort Food: Smoothered Shrimp and Okra
Tweet Jamon loves okra. The first time I ever tried it was in Vegas last year, it was only an appetizer, but at first bite I knew that I could just eat a bowl of it and be happy. O man. It was so yummy. We licked the plate clean. Since then, I’ve been on …read the rest
The zucchini soldiers come marching in
Tweet I woke up this morning tired, sad, and stuffy. What I really wanted was my mum to make me eggs and soldiers, but since that is hardly whole30 compliant, and I’m a little low on veggies varieties I made this: What are eggs and soldiers I hear you ask? Does you spoon make …read the rest
Dinner on the fly: A Quick and Easy Curry
Tweet I love experimenting in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s a slow, multi-step process; a dance through the silence of my house, no music, no tv, no roommate. I can revel in the stillness and silence. My only company is the chop, chop, chop of my knife, the bubble of the pot, the sizzle of onions …read the rest
Dinner with friends: Chicken Paprikash
Tweet I don’t even know what we were laughing about but the feeling lingered and I thought, “when was the last time I laughed that hard?”. Laughter used to be synonymous with life. But the last couple years, I don’ t think I laugh as often or as hard as I used to. It made …read the rest
Salmon Burgers
Tweet I had never thought about making salmon burgers till I saw a recipe for them on Elana’s blog over the summer. I made the recipe from her blog (without adding or substituting anything!) and it was absolutely delicious. I rarely find myself in a pinch for meal ideas, but after working the 9-5 and …read the rest
Crock Pot: Chili – without the beans
Tweet First off, I got a Crock Pot for Christmas! Yay! I’m very, very excited about this. Mike told me that I better use it more than twice…. I don’t think that will be a problem. The question is, can I use it twice in a 24 hour period?
A Lazy breakfast (that was fast and easy)
Tweet I bought Paleo Comfort Foods for Jamon’s mom and step-dad for Christmas, I didn’t even have a chance to look through all the recipes (shhhh) but the picture of this one stuck with me. I didn’t grow up with eggs in a basket, but I can clearly remember the first day I saw Jim …read the rest
Shrimp fried “rice”
Tweet The idea of cauliflower “rice” isn’t new or original. But I really like it. I first came across it on Nom Nom Paleo’s site, and I occasionally go through weeks where I only want to eat it. For breakfast, for dinner, maybe for lunch (ahh but then I would have to have leftovers, crap). …read the rest
