Paleo Taco Casserole

Puerto Rican Pasteles (Grain-Free Tamales!)

This time of the year, while everyone is busy working on cookies and candies , I decided that this was the year that I needed to perfect a grain-free tamale.  Being from Southern California, I grew up surrounded by a variety of cultures; although a majority of my friends were of Mexican descent.  With that, tamales […]

Instant Pot Carnitas (Whole 30, Keto)

  As a recipe writer/food blogger, I spend a lot of time working with and testing other people’s recipes…sometimes per their request, sometimes because I know they are just that fabulous and I really want to try their food. When I was gifted Melissa Joulwan’s original Well Fed, there were several recipes that I had […]

Time to remedy that, obviously!  First, […]

Super Easy Cauliflower Rice (that even cauliflower-haters will eat!)

  There are some things that we make that are just so simple, you forget to share until someone asks you. But when multiple people ask you, “How do you do that?” in a relatively short period of time…you know you need to share.  The trick to making Cauliflower Rice that even cauliflower haters will enjoy […]
