I haven't been cooking much with pork lately and decided I needed to change that. You can only have chicken or turkey every day of the week for so long before you get really bored with it. Seafood is expensive, and a once-or-twice a month type purchase. I'm trying to cut down on the red… Continue reading Carnitas Bowls with Chimichurri
Breakfast isn't really my thing anymore. Since doing keto, I rarely eat breakfast. Intermittent fasting really is my go-to to start the day. Here's how I do it: -Wake up at 10 p.m. -Drink coffee (usually bulletproof) until 1 a.m. -Eat my first meal at 4:30 a.m. If you just put "p.m." in place of… Continue reading Turkey & Poblano Egg Muffins

I found this old Betty Crocker recipe the other day in my collection and tweaked it a… Continue reading Turkey Taco Meatballs
Lately, I've been trying to make all my favorite meals into salad form. That includes fish tacos, steak, BLT sandwiches, and lox & cream cheese bagels. Not everything works. I don't think a mealoaf salad would go down very well. This weekend I set out to make another fave dinner: chicken fajitas. Tortillas are a… Continue reading Chicken Fajita Salad
Let's get this out in the open now: riced cauliflower is bland. If you open a bag of cooked cauliflower rice and expect to be blown away by its taste---I'm sorry. It's not going to happen. Cauliflower rice desperately yearns for seasoning. Even if it's as simple as a little pat of butter, salt and… Continue reading Verde Chicken Bowl
