Saturday date breakfast at home is one of my favorite weekend things. Saturdays are even better when you can sleep in, snuggle in bed, have a late-morning cup of coffee, and eat a filling and flavorful breakfast (though this is rarely the case in our household). Lazy Saturday or not, I am in LOVE with…

Whole30 Steelhead Trout Avocado Breakfast Stack
It’s been two days since hurricane Harvey left my part of Houston. Cue mental exhaustion. The stress of 157 tornado warnings over a week’s time, coupled with our house almost flooding is hitting me like a freight train. Not to mention the constant inundation on social media and the news about people still flooding (yes, even…
Whole30 Lemon Dill Tuna Salad
The hubs and I got back from our Nebraska vacation on Wednesday of last week. We indulged ourselves a little on vacation, and vacation food did not equal low carb food. I don’t regret a single bite! But, we were ready to hop back on the low-carb bandwagon. I had this entire Whole30-low-carb meal plan…
Paleo Parsley Almond Pesto
Can you believe it’s the middle of August?! Where did the time go this summer? I have to admit, we (we = husband + me) did a round of Whole30 at the beginning of the summer. We were killing it. We made it the entire 30 days. No dairy, no preservatives, no cheese, no “bad”…

I needed an easy weeknight meal they hubs and I could enjoy without much prep, cleanup or cooking time. Simple Roasted Salmon with Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is a go-to meal for us at least once a week. It’s…
The Best Salmon Salad
You guys. Salmon salad. Like tuna salad, but with salmon. How did I not make this sooner? It’s so good! And full of healthy fats, fresh herbs and capers. It took me doing a round of Whole30 to come up with this. It was quick and easy, and fed us lunch for three days. I…
Brunch Melon Ball Bowl
Oh my gosh. Guys. I never knew I could have so much fun with a melon baller. There is something deeply satisfying and cathartic about scooping out balls of melon. Just look at how pretty they are. My mother-in-law said this was definitely a throwback to the days of festive things carved out of melons…
