Paleo Shepherd’s Pie
This recipe is really quick to throw together and so tasty. The combination of lamb with creamy mashed sweet potatoes is so delicious. If you don’t like the taste of lamb or can’t get access to it, you can substitute ground beef. You can mix in your favorite vegetables or mix up the spices however…

What I Ate Today: Baby Eats!
Now that Enzo is about 9 1/2 months old he’s been eating 3 meals a day. I’m trying to incorporate as many nutrients as I can throughout the day. Also, Enzo’s iron was low (about a point below what they like to see) so I’m trying to include iron-rich foods along with vitamin C foods…

What I Ate Today – Weekend Cooking
I haven’t done one of these posts in a really long time. I always start the day with the intentions of taking photos of my meals and usually forget after breakfast. I did pretty good this time minus my snacks… Breakfast – two fried eggs on top of leftover roasted sweet potatoes and zucchini with…

Roasted Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad
It’s been WAY too long since I posted a recipe on here. To be honest I haven’t done much recipe creation and have been sticking to simple meals most of the time. About a month ago, Joe and I committed to eating vegetarian two nights a week in order to save money. When I buy…

Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
I’m not really sure this even counts as a recipe, more of an idea. I love using the slow cooker especially during the week on days that I work in the office. The only issue is planning ahead and making sure your ingredients are thawed and ready to go so you don’t have to worry…

BBQ Pineapple Pork Pizza + Baby Update
I’ve been obsessed with making this pizza crust since being pregnant. Over the summer I made pesto, chicken and veggie pizza with this paleo pizza crust pretty much every week. I’m already dreaming about that combination and can’t wait for basil to be back in season! In the meantime we’ve been making other pizza combos…

Salmon, Arugula and Pear Salad
I just recently started eating salmon again. I was eating it a lot right when I found out I was pregnant and then the nausea hit around 6 weeks and no more salmon… I’m also pretty picky on where I buy my fish. Cheap fish grosses me out! I want to get it on our…

Chicken, Butternut Squash and Cherry Salad
It has been way too long since I posted a new recipe. Baby Enzo has definitely kept me and Joe very busy. Things do seem to be slowing down and I’ve been able to cook a little more than I did in the beginning. Joe and I usually tag team dinner depending on his sleeping…

Grilled Eggplant and Pepperoni Parmesan Plus Baby Update
With little Enzo here, we are all about easy to make meals right now. I still have a few things left in the freezer as well but I’m trying to space those out. We were so blessed to have so many friends support us by bringing over meals. Also having family stay with us here…

Post-Baby Freezer Meals Update
Now less than 2 weeks away from our baby’s due date, I think I may be done stocking up the freezer. It’s pretty full and my energy is starting to slowly diminish. It’s been a battle just keeping up with regular cooking, let alone additional cooking. I feel pretty good about what we have stocked…

Grilled Curry Maple-Mustard Chicken
During the summer, Joe grills pretty much every night. I have been avoiding the oven as much as possible during our 100 degree days. Being pregnant doesn’t really help with the heat either! Luckily, Joe really likes grilling and has gotten a few staples nailed down. Chicken is one of them. This glaze is so…

Grilled Smoked Paprika Potatoes
Since the weather has slowly but steadily been creeping up, Joe and I have been grilling as much as possible to avoid turning the oven on. And when I say Joe and I, I really mean Joe since I never touch the grill… My Mom got us this Weber grill basket maybe 4 years ago…
