Rich and Creamy Mashed Cauliflower
published by Tiffany 2 Comments
Not all fun foods can be fun foods… that’s what I told my kids when they wanted homemade pizza and stove-top macaroni and cheese for dinner and cared less about the pan-seared broccoli I was making.
“Perfect example: Mommy doesn’t like cauliflower. To me, it’s not a fun food at all. But I still eat it, because it’s a vegetable and it’s good for me.”
Well, here I stand eating crow. Because thanks to this rich and creamy mashed cauliflower recipe, I can boldly say I LOVE cauliflower!

7 Cheap and Healthy High Protein Foods
published by Tiffany 5 Comments
There’s no other way to say it: quality protein is expensive!
It doesn’t matter if you buy from a farmer or from the grocery store or stretch every ounce you can at home – meat is pricey.
I didn’t realize HOW pricey it was though, until we ventured on the Whole30 and had to buy 31 ½ pounds of meat every week… MINIMUM.
(Yeah, go ahead and catch your breath for a minute there.)
Although we’ve officially finished the Whole30, we enjoyed many aspects of the elimination diet. Going forward, I’m looking for non-meat sources of high protein foods that are cheap and healthy so we still get amazing nutrition, but can build our savings account back up too!

Avocado Chocolate Mousse (GF, DF, Paleo)

How weird is it to say “avocado” and “chocolate” and “mousse” together in the same recipe name? Worse yet, how bad is it that I’ve made this recipe twice in the past three days? And if I truly had to confess that we *just* officially finished the Whole30 and are pretty much swearing off sugar…Click to Continue »
Zaycon Fresh Review (shrimp and steaks)

The short version: Last year I bought boneless skinless chicken breasts from Zaycon Fresh and they were awful. I contacted customer service, they gave me a refund via store credit and in turn I bought wild Argentine shrimp and Kansas City strip steaks. I told you guys I’d update you on that order when itClick to Continue »
Sheet Pan Hawaiian Shrimp

Whoa nelly – if someone had told me that being on the Whole30 meant spending all day every day in the kitchen, I probably would have second guessed this adventure… But thankfully, I found a couple life-savers: batch cooking (i.e. making 4 pounds of homemade breakfast sausage instead of just one) and sheet pan dinner.Click to Continue »
How to Make Cauliflower Rice

Have you heard of cauliflower rice? It was all the rage not too long ago and seems to be the saving grace for those who can’t have grains for one reason or another (like us, while on the Whole30). I learned how to make it early on in this elimination diet, but before I showClick to Continue »
Egg Roll in a Bowl

If you told me that I’d have to eat crack slaw for dinner, I would have given you a look like you had a third eye growing out of your forehead. And then I would have taken a bite and apologized because YOU GUYS. This stuff is one of THE BEST dinners I’ve made sinceClick to Continue »
Almond Crusted Baked Chicken

I laughed when my husband said the other night that this almond crusted baked chicken was his favorite of all the Whole30 meals I’ve made so far (including pork and potato soup and homemade breakfast sausage and caramelized onions and swiss chard and sweet potato and apple casserole and oven-roasted hash browns). I asked why,Click to Continue »
Leftover Pork and Potato Soup

It feels weird to say this, but the one thing I’ve missed on the Whole30 was soup. Many of our favorites – tomato basil soup and tortilla soup and chicken noodle soup and minestrone soup – are off limits. Sure, I could make substitutions and whatnot, but to be honest, tortilla soup just isn’t theClick to Continue »
Budget-friendly Whole30 Meal Plan

I’ve been talking a lot lately about the Whole30, which makes sense. When you’re on the Whole30 your life pretty much revolves around your meals… planning, prepping, cooking, cleaning up… this coming from a FOOD BLOGGER and already plans, preps, cooks and cleans more than the average person… oy vey. (If you haven’t heard ofClick to Continue »
