Chicken Cacciatore is one of those things that I didn't know was a thing until our Whole 30. And then we tried a recipe for it, and it was delicious! But it was also kind of a lot of work: chop up all the veggies, make the sauce on the stovetop, combine with chicken, cook for a long time in the oven...if you've been here for even a little while, you know I like my meals quick and simple. So I changed it. This recipe is based on the Chicken Cacciatore from Sarah Fragoso's Everyday … [Read more...]
Recipe: Ham and Cheese Egg Bake
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. Breakfast for dinner? Also a good time. Brunch? If my children weren't such sticklers about eating at specific times now that they know how to look at a clock.

This is just easy and yummy. Also, totally a side note, but this works for breakfast, or for dinner, or if you're Whole 30-ing but want something that you can eat with or without eggs. Because I totally get if you're on day 19 and you're sick of eggs. Unstuffed Squash with Bacon and … [Read more...]
On Making My Own Birthday Cake
Every year, I make my own birthday cake. I could have one of my family members make one for me. I could even buy one from the store. But I enjoy picking a fancy cake, a new recipe, a new technique - something special - and spending a few hours baking and assembling my own cake. Where normally I stick to really easy, quick, budget friendly recipes, my birthday cake is different. It's something frivolous. Something that uses far too much butter and sugar. Something that my children obsess … [Read more...]
