It was Archaellys’ birthday not that long ago and somehow I forgot to post the coordinating movie night nom for that celebration. Oops. I don’t know how it happened, but the week must have gotten away from me. It’s always kind of my thing to let the birthday celebrant pick whatever they want and I’ll…

Lost Thanksgiving Recipe Round-Up
There were a few recipes missing from my Thanksgiving post so I’m going to put them all in one place: here. I know Thanksgiving is pretty much a distant memory as we move closer to Christmas. It was only a little more than a week ago, guys. Seriously. A week. WTF? Anyway, back to the…
Thanksgiving Extravaganza!!
Thanksgiving is pretty much my favorite holiday. I mean, Thanksgiving is basically Christmas without all the gift giving crap. Don’t get me wrong, gifts are cool and all, but I totally stress out about who to get presents for and being fair and all kinds of crap. So… just… no. Let’s eat. I’m all about…
Roasted Carrots and Swiss Chard
These two recipes will conclude the first series of Movie Night Noms. I like to break up the recipes so they’re not all in one post, but I’m curious if other people like this format. Comment if you have an opinion about it – otherwise I’ll assume this is fine. Roasted carrots are stupid easy…
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Who doesn’t love mashed taters and gravy? They go with everything, especially giant loaves of meat. They’re really very simple, but everyone always has their own version of mashed potatoes that they swear by. This is a pretty basic recipe, but just like the meatloaf, it can be augmented to be any other form of…
Spaghetti Squash with Ground Turkey
I used to loooooooooove eating pasta. I could eat noodles all day e’ryday. I’d have Top Ramen for breakfast, buttered noodles for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. That’s kind of how I ended up with the figure I used to have. Now I find way to sneak in more veggies in place of noodles and…
Roasted Chicken Dinner 3: Roasted Fennel and Green Beans
K, so I’m wrapping these last two bits into the same post between they’re relatively simple. One more time, here’s that pic again since I’m lame and forgot to take individual shots. (Maybe I’ll add in some pics after the next time I make these. I have them in regular rotation at the moment). Fennel…
Roasted Chicken Dinner 2: Sweet Potato Hash
OMG. Guys. Sweet Potato Hash is THE NOMS. Use this for Thanksgiving and thank me later. Who needs candied sweet potatoes? *PICS UPDATED* Sweet Potato Hash 4 Sweet Potatoes 1 pkg (12 oz) Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon 1 medium yellow onion Fresh Thyme salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon Chop your onion and slice your bacon….
Waffle Iron Hashbrowns
OMG, I frakking *LOVE* hashbrowns!!! I don’t have them a lot, but they’re actually one of the reasons I could never be strictly paleo for an extended period of time. And when I make them at home, I do it in the waffle iron. Wait. WUT? Yeah, I said waffle iron. It’s not really a…
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
I freaking loooooooove pizza. I could do some serious damage to a pizza in my previous gluten loving days. Now that I’m gluten free though, that would be a problem. Gluten free crusts, like Udi’s, are decent, but I’m really not looking to replace flour-based things with different flour-based things. Enter cauliflower crust. If you…
Guacamole
My guacamole is pretty inconsistent. That’s because I freestyle my guacamole. I know the basics: avocados and lime. As long as you have avocados and lime you pretty much can’t go wrong. But sometimes I open up my fridge to see what else I can throw in there. This is my preferred version, when I…
Green Smoothie
I have a green smoothie for breakfast pretty much every morning. It’s a great way to start the day out right and get those fruits and veggies in. Now I’ve seen a lot of variants of the green smoothie, and my basic recipe isn’t very sweet. I try to watch how much fruit I consume…
