I know I tweeted this pic out the other night when I was eating it, but I just had to post the delicious carnitas here too. You know, for safe keeping. Good grief, La Piñata, you make some AMAZING carnitas.

Noms that are easy to make for a large party of geeks.
Sukiyaki
I was trying to figure out what to make that would go along with our Miyazaki night of Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo… There are so many delicious Japanese noms that I could make work. At first I thought about trying to figure out a gluten friendly version of ramen, since that’s what they eat…
Movie Night Noms: Scrapple and Eggs
Our movie night for December 27 is Christmas Observed in The Rumpus Room. Arc and I really wanted to have a Christmas celebration with our Twitch family, and this is the best way that we could do it. At first, I really wanted to go all out and make another Christmas dinner. I thought about…
Buffalo Chicken Bites and Gluten Free Mac and Cheese
HOLY SWEET BABY JEBUS. Mac and cheese was my ultimate comfort nom when I was kid. I would make the blue box stuff almost every Saturday morning for myself at first thing and have it for breakfast while I watched Saturday Morning Cartoons. And I don’t mean the sissy cartoons they show now (do Saturday…
Pho-tastic Voyage
Pho. Is. The. Best. Ever. The only thing is I always feel too full of sodium afterward because I do my best to not leave a drop of that delicious broth behind. So in my quest to be healthier about things and knowing exactly what’s in my food, I decided to try to make my…
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…
Nachos
I don’t feel like I really need to post a recipe for nachos. I mean, they’re pretty easy, right? Dere you go. UPDATE: Apparently I *do* need to post a recipe for nachos and BAM! there it is. Nachos 1 pkg Ground Turkey 1 onion Salt, pepper, cayenne 1 can sliced olives Guacamole (recipe here)…
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…
