Eggplant Caponata (Paleo + Whole30)

  Eggplant caponata is a dish I love preparing when I am having company over.  It goes great on any antipasto platter and can be served at room temperature.  It is also easy to prepare ahead of time and really does taste better by letting the flavors marinade together until ready to serve.  I also love…

Plantain Buns (Paleo)

This recipe was inspired by my love of tostones and a need to switch it up from the “sweet potato bun”.  Simple and flavorful, these plantain buns act as the perfect vessel for burgers, egg “sandwiches”, or anything your heart desires.  I love making a batch of these and reheating them during the week on the…
