Meatloaf

Isn’t meatloaf amazing guys?  I mean it’s basically a giant loaf of meat.  MEAT.  And there are so many ways you can make it.  I’m going to post a pretty basic meatloaf recipe here, but I’ll include some interesting spins on it for you to try at with the at home version. Now if you…

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…

Poached Eggs

I feel like poached eggs don’t get enough play.  They kind of get lumped into “diet eggs” but I think a perfectly poached egg is something that is pretty freaking majestic.  If I still ate toast, these would be amazing on some sourdough. Poached Eggs Eggs White Vinegar Crack the egg into a small bowl…

Cheaterquiles

Chilaquiles are basically breakfast nachos.  For serious.  And I’m always surprised when people don’t know what I’m talking about when I talk about chilaquiles.  I mean, they’re amazing.  SO GOOD.  Especially after you’ve made nachos the night before and have a lot of good things leftover. However, I just kind of fake chilaquiles at home….

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)…

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….

Roasted Chicken Dinner 1: Roasted Chicken

Sometimes I just like a good old homestyle dinner.  I felt like cooking for my friend Archaellys and he thought this was pretty fancy.  I just call it Monday night. I’ll post these as separate recipes, but unfortunately I forgot to take separate photos for each dish.  Dinner consisted of a roasted hen, sweet potato…

Sautéed Pears

I love cooking fruit.  Especially when it’s out-of-season-not-quite-ripe fruit.  Stone fruits are especially good for this, but so are pears and apples.  The best part is that it’s a super easy dessert and it looks super fancy.  If you want to impress someone with dessert, this is a good one to go with.  Forget about…

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…
