There is so much I love about carnitas! They are so versatile, easy to reheat, and a great way to change up the weekly dinner menu. When I know a recipe is as tasty and as satisfying as this one, I don’t mind taking the extra step after the slow cooker to make it that…
Sautéed Cabbage and Bacon (Paleo + Whole30)
Being that my mothers’ roots to Italy are strong and have played a large part in our lives as far as traditions go, my family and I look forward to the month of March as a way to really take advantage and appreciate my dad’s Irish heritage. It’s a month of traditional Irish music, tons…
Paleo Irish Soda Bread
Although my Italian roots are strong, there’s no denying that I am still 50% Irish. It is this time of year I break out my clatter ring and wool sweaters, turn on the Irish Tenors and crank out some good old Irish Soda Bread. It’s sweet, moist and has a richness from the caraway…
Smoked Paprika Roasted Cauliflower (Paleo+Whole30)
Lately I am finding myself in a side dish rut, always grabbing the same veggies and preparing them basically the same way. In the past when this has happened I’ll do a quick Google or Pinterest search to remind myself what is in season and help give a little inspiration to my…
Balsamic Roasted Chicken Breast (Paleo + Whole30)
Most weekends, shredded chicken is on my meal prep to use in my weekly lunches. I often use a simple marinade and change up the flavor by using a different dressing and mix-ins each day of the week. When I am ready to really change it up, slow roasting chicken in rich and tangy…

Burger Ingredients: 2 tsp Garlic Powder ¾ tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Mustard Powder ½…
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…
Turkey Meatloaf (Paleo + Whole 30)
I love a good, hearty and flavorful meatloaf. I chose to make this dish with ground turkey to create variety to my weekly dinner menu and also to create a dish that is a little bit lighter but just as tasty! This is another dish I like to cook in bulk to have leftovers for…
Granola Butter
As a true lover of nut butters, I am declaring this recipe the mother of all nut butters. After making a batch of my favorite granola, inspired by Golden Barrel, I thought how delicious would this be as a spread! After playing with the recipe a little, boy was I right! This recipe incorporates combination…
Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips
My love for all things sweet potato is extra strong when it comes to these crunchy, salty and sweet oven roasted sweet potato chips. They’re great as a base for paleo nachos, used as dippers for your favorite dip or simply eaten as they are. Typically, I make these with avocado oil and salt but…
