I asked. You responded. Here it is! A new crockpot meal. Crockpot Hatch Chile Chicken Tacos. I love cooking in my crockpot (or slow cooker if I am being technically correct). Some of my favorite crockpot meals include my Spicy Mustard Chicken, Mississippi Roast and Tom Kha Yum Soup. My local Whole Foods recently held a…

Spicy Romesco Sauce
It is getting so hot this summer, and it isn’t even technically summer yet. Since getting back from the beach, I’ve been having my own little summer staycation by the pool. I don’t work most Fridays, and it is the perfect time to lounge by the pool, read a book and just relax close to…
Caribbean Jerk Wings
You guys these wings. Caribbean jerk wings are one of my favorites at Buffalo Wild Wing. With the Superbowl just around the corner, I can’t imagine hosting a watch party without serving wings. I’m typically the spicier the better but after burning my mouth on a couple mango habanero wings, I’ve been a little more…
Crockpot Tom Kha Yum Soup
Thai lovers might be wondering why this soup is orange instead of white. Well when I lived in Los Angeles my favorite Thai restaurant’s tom kha yum soup was orange. Also they called it tom kha yum soup instead of tom kha gai. I’ve been trying desperately to recreate this soup because honestly I miss it…
Paleo Beef a la Sichuan
A couple weeks ago, I ate at P.F. Chang’s and was happy to see they now have a gluten free menu! Now that doesn’t mean everything is paleo but it is good to know I wasn’t going to get accidentally gluten bombed. I hadn’t been to a P.F. Chang’s in years and decided to forgo…
Spicy Chicken Noodle Bowls
Did anyone else wake up early Wednesday morning to see the full lunar eclipse? I set my alarm for 5:40am and stumbled out of bed camera in hand. I took a couple test shots of the moon earlier in the evening to get my settings right. Unfortunately I didn’t think about the fact the moon…
Paleo Sweet Fire Chicken
Any Panda Express fans out there? I had my first encounter with Panda Express shortly after moving to Los Angeles. This was far before the word Paleo ever filtered through my ears. I fell hard for Panda Express. Do you want to add another entree for one dollar? Ok! How about a spring roll? Ok!…
Fire Roasted Pepper Burgers
I hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July! I’m sad to leave Florida today. I’ve been enjoying the ocean breeze, salt water and sand. I truly miss living by the beach. When I was little I dreamed about living near the beach, but never actually thought it would happen. Now that I’m back in…
Creole Cauliflower “Rice”
When I went to visit my friend in New Orleans, I had great intentions to make tons of creole food while I was there. Preparing for my trip, I whipped up 1 cup of creole seasoning. I didn’t end up using even a sprinkle of the cup! Fast forward to today, and the seasoning is…
Crockpot Chipotle Chicken
I love how easy it is to cook chicken in the crockpot. I have a couple chicken crockpot recipes on my blog (here, here, here). I am constantly trying to think of ways to cut down on kitchen time, and I always go back to my crockpot. You can make so many things in a…
Paleo Buffalo Ranch Dip
I love spicy food! One of my favorite dishes is buffalo wings. Yum. Sometimes I like to push my spicy boundaries, and sometimes it backfires badly. Pre-Whole30, I let a waitress convince me that the mango habanero wings at Buffalo Wild Wings were only slightly hotter than my usual, caribbean jerk wings. As I dug…
Paleo Spicy Mustard Crockpot Chicken
I have been giving my crockpot some serious loving these last few weeks. Everything goes into one pot and out comes dinner! When you live alone, cooking an extravagant meal for one isn’t very appealing. Most of the time the clean up takes just as long as the actual cooking. That might have something…
