Before this post runs away from me, as so many of them do, I’ll just start by saying: if you’re here for the recipe, alone, I know this looks like a crapload of ingredients and steps, but I beg of you – don’t be intimidated. The allure of these bowls lies in their lovingly forgiving simplicity. And that is to say, you can do very little right with them and still do very little wrong, if you know what I’m saying. It’s a beautiful thing. And now for the detour. My love for swine is no secret — to the … Read More
“The Paleo Foodie” cookbook GIVEAWAY (and Spicy Parsnip Hummus)
{This contest is now closed. Thanks so much for your entries — and congrats to our winner, Heidi K! } Food blogging is kind of an interesting gig. And to be honest, I’ve struggled with the term “food blogger” a lot. For one, it seems we’re a dime a dozen. Even good food bloggers (I’ll use that descriptor loosely and without assumption that I do/not fit into the category) are available in abundance. There are just a lot of folks out there — a plethora, even (love that word) — who do a fine job of experiencing the world through their … Read More
Garlicky Curried Noodle Soup (gf w/ vegan option)
When I posted this guy on Instagram the other day, I had the forethought to actually add a squidge of sriracha to the egg. And it looked bangarang, you guys. Bang. Uh. Rang. And then I sat down to edit the pics for this post and realized that, amidst all the excitement of pulling out the big ol’ Nikon and strapping it to the tripod and F-stopping like whoa, I never actually took a real-deal pic of the sauce’d egg. What the eff. I blame #yolkporn. Gets me every time. So this soup: sriracha drizzle or not, it’s kinda fine, … Read More
25-Minute Skillet Chicken w/ Carrots & Leeks (gf)
25-Min Skillet Chicken with Carrots and Leeks – a satisfying skillet chicken dinner that boasts all-day flavors but comes together quickly. Perfect for a weeknight meal. I love leeks. They’re kind of a pain in the ass to wash, yeah, but so what. The leeks will thank you for it, and I really believe that. (Can you imagine what it must feel like going through life with silty grit chillin’ under your skin? Like that moment when you first walk onto the beach and realize one step too late that you should have taken your shoes off from the start. You’re … Read More
Asian Tofu Lettuce Wraps (vegan & gf)
Well we did it, you guys. We made it through the big eating holidays. Although it’s still pretty freaking Christmassy around here what with the tree, the stockings, the dozens of ginger-almond sugar cookies Chris decided to whip up last night. I think I’ll keep that guy around. I know it’s rather unusual to get into detox mode before one of the biggest boozing events of the year, but let’s pretend that 2014 will be a year of stupendous planning and preparation — and I’m getting an early start. (Contrarily, I’m also playing a bit of catch up this week. … Read More
