So this is traditional stuffing in the sense that it is my mom’s recipe, but this is technically dressing because I don’t cook it in my turkey. I just can’t bring myself to call it dressing because that is what you put on a salad. Stuffing is stuffing to me wether it is cooked in…
So I am going to say it… it is freezing out! Freezing. It was 70 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Yesterday I woke up and my weather app read “feels like 10 degrees.” I am not okay with this. I love fall. It was one of the things I absolutely missed when I lived in…
Why hello there November and Day Light Savings Time. I used to be such a fan of Day Light Savings, not anymore. Day Light Savings means the end of evening shoots for food bloggers. Gone are the days of making dinner, taking pictures and eating. Also it is getting cold! I took these pictures outside…
Life is about to get crazy! I am moving this weekend hopefully. I was hired at a new job! And I’m working hard on The Eighty-Twenty e-magazine. With everything going on, I might only share one recipe a week for the next couple weeks. I want to make sure I am giving you guys quality…
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 purists advert your little eyes because we have an adult beverage coming your way! Just kidding don’t go too far because this drink is easily made into a mocktail! I’ve been a fan of cider since my best friend studied abroad in Ireland and talked non-stop about Bulmers Cider aka Magners here in the…
So this is more Greek inspired then necessarily classic Greek flavors. While I was in Santorini, I fell in love with moussaka, which is Greek lasagna made with potatoes and eggplant. It is seriously delicious. After a day at the beach, I set off to find a local spot for a late lunch. We stumbled…
I got this fabulous idea from Skinny Taste and really wanted to make it paleo. Last year I made almond joy bites, but I wanted to make a simple treat this year. These spooky little banana pops are so cute! I created a paleo “white chocolate” to make a hard shell around frozen bananas. My…
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…
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…
Now this is a real Meaty Monday post! This pork shoulder ramen is full of meat, hearty mushrooms and zoodles. Best part- it is made in the crockpot! If you didn’t know, I love crockpot meals. They make life so easy. One of my favorite restaurants has a pork belly ramen dish. I have watched longingly…
So it’s October once again. The weather is changing quicker than I prefer and soon it will be winter. Ok not really. Thank goodness! I love fall. The leaves slowly transitioning from green to bright shades of red, yellow and orange. The fire tipped trees are one of my favorite parts of fall. With the…
