Why didn’t I think to do this sooner? There are so many food trucks that exist in the world that are already converting things into burritos, like Chicken Tikka Masala burritos and Sisig burritos so why not use up all this extra pulled pork we had laying around by turning it into burrito-y goodness? I rolled…

Sloppy Mo’s (’cause it’s mo’ betta than Joe’s)
Who doesn’t love Sloppy Joes? I always used to wonder why people would use packets or cans of sloppy joe sauce growing up because I learned how to make them from scratch thanks for a cookbook for children that I once had. The ingredients were so easy, I couldn’t figure out why anyone would want…
Chicken and Dumplings
The weather is getting cooler, right? Maybe not in California exactly, but we can have wishful thoughts. Fortunately it is getting cooler in the evening, so at least dinner can still be all nice and warm and comforting and autumny. Chicken and Dumplings 1 whole chicken, washed and cut into quarters water 3 onions, cut…
Chopped Thai Salad with Coconut-Curry Dressing
Um, yes. This. So much yes. Make it. I was looking at recipe collections one day for some ideas. I feel like I’ve been in a little bit of dry streak with my recipe game, so I needed to try some new stuff that fits the diet and makes me think outside the box a…
Hawaiian Sweet Potatoes
These have nothing to do with being Hawaiian except that it’s in the vein of calling things with pineapple “Hawaiian” – like I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure what we call a Hawaiian pizza (canadian bacon/ham with pineapple) isn’t actually from Hawaii. Y’know, just saying and all. Like how German Chocolate Cake isn’t…
Another Spaghetti Squash Creation
Mission: make healthy dinner quick with what’s on hand, which happens to be primarily ground turkey and spaghetti squash… aaaand GO! Now before some of you go all “WHAT?! There’s butter and cream in the recipe! How is that GOOD for you??” These are generally good fats that help with nutrient absorption and good fats…
Beanless Chicken Chili with Cauliflower
It’s been a long tiiiiime… since I posted anythiiiiing… Sorry about that guys. Life happened. I was busy adjusting to my new food life the last few months, trying to get better at understanding what works for a “Lean and Green” meal on my Medifast plan. I’ve also been thinking up and researching new recipes….
Healthier General Tso’s Chicken
So this recipe isn’t totally 100% on plan for me, but it’s delicious and I figured the extra little bit of non-plan items I was getting wouldn’t hurt too bad. I really wanted some Chinese-ish for dinner (even though General Tso’s Chicken is totally an American thing… I think…), so I made a sauce that…
Food Porn: Spiced Crockpot Beef Roast
So yeah… I made that the other night. And it’s actually really good for you too. Want the recipe? You can find it here.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It might technically not be Thanksgiving day anymore, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not thankful. I finally woke up long enough from my post-feast food haze to make this image for you guys, wishing you a (now belated) happy thanksgiving and showing you my feast foods from this year. The food was pretty much…
Gluten Free Corn Dog Bites
Corn dogs are amazing. That’s all that really needs to be said about them. Except that I want to add that homemade corn dogs are even better than amazing. I’m still adjusting this recipe a little bit for the batter. The corn meal is a little too gritty for my tastes so I’m testing doing…
Missing Recipe: Char Siu Marinade
A while back I posted about making Char Siu but I had lost the marinade recipe. I lost it so hard that I can’t even find the original recipe online that I modified. So I had to test again and I have a new one. I’m testing the sauce today with pieces of pork butt, rather…
