Fast, Easy & Cheap: Taco Night!

Posted by Jen on May 16, 2015 in Blog, Recipe | 0 comments The other day I blogged about my excellent results with Frontera Chile Verde Enchilada Sauce. Since it was so great, and their ingredients are clean, I’ve picked up a few more of their sauces to try. Today was a busy day. I skipped lunch thanks to juggling baby and dentist appt (bad dietitian, I know). So, by the time Husband got home at 6:00 we were all pretty starving and dinner had to be...

Italian Combo Salad

Posted by Jen on May 15, 2015 in Blog, Gluten-Free, Paleo, Recipe, Salads, Vegetables, Whole 30 | 0 comments Growing up outside of New York City, “lunch” meant going to the deli and getting a sandwich on a kaiser roll, stuffed with cold cuts. My all-time favorite is the “Italian Combo,” consisting of salami, ham, provolone, lettuce and tomato on a big roll soaked with vinaigrette dressing. The Italian Combo also makes for a great salad! If you’re ditching the bread because...

Easy Enchiladas

Posted by Jen on May 13, 2015 in Blog, Gluten-Free, Recipe | 0 comments Since having a baby my diet has really taken a turn for the worse. Now that Oliver is a mobile toddler, it’s even harder to carve out time to plan, shop, and cook meals. I’m the first to admit we’ve eaten way too much pizza, Panera, and Chinese take-out over the past two years. Prior to baby I would make nearly everything from scratch. Now I’ve had to bend my ideals, so...

Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage

Posted by Jen on Aug 14, 2012 in Blog, Gluten-Free, Paleo, Recipe, Vegetables | 0 comments The first time I went to Germany I came home obsessed with cabbage. The second time I went to Germany I came home obsessed with sweet and sour cabbage. Those people really know their way around this brassica underdog! The sugar makes this dish illegal on the Whole30. I’m not so psyched about it either, but it is drastically reduced from the classic recipe. You can omit some (or all) of the...

BALT Salad

Posted by Jen on Aug 14, 2012 in Blog, Gluten-Free, Paleo, Recipe, Vegetables, Whole 30 | 0 comments This isn’t a recipe so much as it is an assembly. The BLT is perhaps culinary perfection: salty-fatty-crispy bacon off-set with creamy mayo, heirloom tomatoes that are both sweet and acidic at once, paired with crunchy and slightly bitter greens. Molto buono! The only thing that can make it better? Avocado. Word. Add chicken if you want extra protein. Serves 1 Ingredients 4 slices of...
