So I bought this whole chicken because it was on sale and I felt obligated to take it home and make it into something tasty. I must confess, I hate dealing with meat on bones, especially chicken. Has anyone else ever shed a tear when cooking a whole chicken? Maybe it’s me. I’m a crier,…
I found blackberries at the grocery store this weekend for $1 a pack. What?! I tossed four packs in my cart, deciding I could find something to do with them later. Kids! We’re having berries for dinner! It’s October and still warm in Tennessee most days, although the mornings are getting quite chilly and there is…
Who out there likes fried chicken? If you’re following the Paleo diet or the Whole30 plan, you’re probably reeeaally craving some comfort food right now. I know I am. Catering to your food cravings is a no-no with the Whole30 plan, but this Whole30 Fried Chicken recipe is technically Whole-30- and Paleo-compliant as long as…
I used to love cooking for game days! I had a list of crowd-pleasing appetizers, crock pot meals and cocktails I loved to whip up every Saturday for tailgating parties. (Go Vols!) But when I’m cooking healthily, my enthusiasm wanes a little. It doesn’t have to be that way though! For me, the Whole30 plan…
One of the most difficult parts about the Whole30 plan for me is not getting my weekly Mexican fix from our local restaurant. No matter how well I plan and prepare for the week, there’s always that one night when I just don’t have time to cook dinner, forget to thaw out the meat or…

If you’re doing a January Whole30 and craving something cozy that doesn’t taste like “diet food,” this Whole30 Zuppa Toscana is it. It’s a creamy (but dairy-free) Olive Garden–style soup made with compliant Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and kale in a lightly spicy broth—finished with full-fat coconut milk for that classic richness. I’ve made this for years…

The other day, I made some Five-Ingredient Roasted Habanero Salsa. It was amazing! Quick, easy, tasty, spicy and Whole30- and Paleo-compliant-what’s not to love? It was so good that I wanted to do something else with it…take it to the next level…enjoy it for an entire meal rather than just as a snack. I’ve seen several…
I love the idea of making fresh salsa, but it seems like way too much work. That’s why this Five-Ingredient Roasted Habanero Salsa is perfect – little work with lots of return. It’s the perfect blend of garden-fresh tomatoes, smoky roasted habaneros, and tear-jerking spiciness. This weekend, my husband and I took a much-needed R&R day…
