Avocado Truffles

Sometimes I get an incredible craving for chocolate, but when you’re trying to watch what you’re eating, it’s not exactly in your best interest to pig out on the stuff. I came across this recipe somewhere and lost the original, so unfortunately I can’t link it up like I normally would. There are a lot…

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…

Pizza Quinoa

I came across a recipe for a one-pot pizza quinoa and just kind of went from there. Totally random, thought it sounded good, but could see where I could change a few things.  What happened was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.  OMG.  Yes.  And it was easy to make and pretty good for you.  Totally would recommend!  Duh,…

Chili con Fway

Archaellys’ chili is hands down my favorite chili.  True statement right there.  I’m a lucky girl and for the most part this is pretty healthy AND comforting, so when I’m down Arc has been known to make a batch of chili to cheer me up.  That Arc though… Of course, there are ways to increase…

Food Porn: Pizookie

Yessssss…. Paleo Pizookie, where have you been my entire life?  Find the recipe here.  I just didn’t have cast iron pans so I made it in a 8×8″ pan and cut it into bars.  I might have un-paleo’d it though with some whipped cream that has some Bailey’s in it.  Oops.

Hamburger Soup

So soup season, y’all.  California has had some crazy non-winter weather lately, but it was actually chilly out not that long ago so I wanted to make soup.  I also have Five Guys on the brain, but I really need to get back on track with the eating, so I threw together a hamburger soup. …

Food Porn: Greek Yogurt

I’ve been kind of addicted to plain Greek yogurt lately.  It’s so good in the morning with a little ground ginger and some local raw honey.  Seriously, just look at this stuff…
