Souptober

Hi Friends! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything but I’ve had a few friends ask recently for some soup recipes so I figure I’d dust off the keyboard and share a few I love making lately. Most of them are heavily modified to our dietary needs and preferences (we’ve all got them!)…

Day I dunno of Quarantine

Anyone else feeling a little stir crazy these days?  Between the weather vacillating between summer temps to winter temps to rain and everything in between. Plus the order to stay home for at least another 30 days. It’s a lot. It can feel overwhelming if you let it. I am focusing day to day. If…

Orange Chicken Kale Salad

This recipe is an absolute favorite around here! A few people have asked for the recipe. It’s from Blue Apron but when I send them the link for the recipe – it wants them to sign up & doesn’t show the recipe. It’s a major bummer. So I rewrote the recipe out so I can…

Paleo Riggie’s Sauce & Meatballs – Utica, NY

I just arrived in New York last night where I was born & my Grandpa still lives. I have so many memories coming up here from Scranton (home then) in my childhood. Cool summer days, terrible allergies, Brook’s chicken, spending time on my Grandpa’s large property, being at my (other) Grandparents restaurant, spending time with…

Whole30 Day 24 (I think?)

Dinner was delicious tonight. I made Creamy (Maple) Dijon Chicken with Bacon. I used apple juice instead of maple syrup. I added the apple juice after the mushrooms & shallots (I used onions) were done sauteing . Then added the coconut milk & dijon mustard. Then I added the chicken & bacon. Creamy Maple Dijon…

Comfort Food Night – Whole30 Day 23

Tonight was a good night for comfort food even on Whole30 It’s rainy (maybe snowy?) & cold. Tomorrow will be even colder 4°. Brrrrr Scallop potatoes is a family favorite. I grew up eating it with fully dairy & gluten. I loved it but it didn’t love me quite as much. This version is just…

Whole30 Day 17 – soup recipe!

Whole30 Day 7

It’s hard to believe a whole week has passed since we started Whole30! One of the many reasons my husband & I are doing Whole30 is to “slay our sugar dragon”. Can you relate? You have one too? Whole30 really helps slaying your addiction to sugar. During your 30 days you are allowed fruit but…

Whole30 Day 6

One new recipe today. This morning I woke up craving Cream of Broccoli soup. Broccoli was only .69 cents last week at Aldi so we had a lot of it in the fridge. So it was the perfect soup to make! I found a recipe I liked & started cooking. I loosely followed this recipe.…
