Crock Pot Turkey Soup with Acorn Squash

  Colder days are clearly approaching, and for this means more soups. For me, nothing hits the spot on a cold day than a hot mug of soup to sip on. For this soup I chose a white acorn squash, which when cooked in the soup tastes very much like a yellow potato. These squashes…

Mason Jar Marinades – Minimal Cleanup & No Plastic

Say goodbye to excess cleanup and wasting plastic baggies… This post is a method/hack post more than an actual recipe. This is how I often prep quick dinners for myself and wanted to share it with the rest of you. This method eliminates the need to clean a food processor or a blender, and also…

Easy Dutch Oven Balsamic Chicken Marsala

  One-Pot with a flavor shortcut… As of late I have been working on a slew of new paleo sauces for my upcoming book, One Pot Paleo. These sauces often involve simmering for a while and sometimes an immersion blender. Understanding that not everyone has the time (or desire) to whip up their own paleo…

Buffalo Chicken B.L.T. Stuffed Tomatoes

  Bite sized buffalo chicken B.L.T happiness… I’ve seen many variants of this recipe on both the Food Network and the internet, and have been wanting to make a spiced up version for a while. While these are super tasty and amazing for entertaining guests, they do take a bit of time to prepare compared…

Buffalo Chicken & Eggplant Lasagna Bomb

  Cheese Optional… This recipe requires a bit more prep time than most of my recipes, yet it yields a ton of food that is great to bring to a gathering, or just keep hungry athletes fed. This recipe will still work fine if if you skip the cheese. I didn’t even use very much…

Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Chicken and the Eggplant Parmesan Bomb (Primal)

  Ok, this one contains dairy. If you can’t handle it, please just look away now instead of tempting yourself! Also, please accept my apologies in advance. I have been receiving requests for recipes involving cheese lately, and I finally let a personal craving push me over the recipe-creating edge. The result is a ridiculously…

Paleo Slow Cooker Chicken Pad Thai with Veggie Noodles

  This recipe has been brewing in my head for a while now and I finally got around to trying it. I’ve long had a theory that if you nested veggie noodles on top of a liquid base in a slow cooker that they would steam cook nicely, without turning to mush. I can now…

Pulled Garlic Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

  After whipping up another killer pulled pork & sauce recipe this week, I decided to give pulled chicken with a sauce a try. This is the result. This is a flexible dish because the garlic chicken can be used in other applications (salads, wraps) without the sauce, in addition to smothering it with the…

One-Pot Chipotle Bacon Chicken

  This recipe combines 2 of my favorite things on the cheap, bacon and chipotle peppers. Cooks all in one pot and always leaves me looking for more spicy bacon bits even after I’ve eaten it all. This is something that I whip up in 10 minutes and usually consume all it before it cools…
