We love a good grain-free cake, especially one that’s not as dense as a brick. Our Light and Fluffy Lemon Pound Cake checks both those boxes. Coconut milk adds a rich flavor while keeping the cake moist and whipping the egg whites makes this a super light cake everyone will enjoy. We like ours with […]
We recently overhauled cashew chicken and were so pleased with the results, we decided to try our had at sesame chicken. Once again, we are marinating and baking the chicken instead of dredging and stir-frying it in oil, and the chicken breast is so tender and juicy, it seamlessly takes the place of fattier dark […]
Stir-fry is so good, but between the flour coating, pan frying, and carb-filled rice, it can be so bad for you. We reverse engineered one of our favorite takeout dishes, cashew chicken, to see what would happen if we baked the chicken instead of dredging and stir-frying it. The results are in and it’s the […]

We love gyros so much (probably too much), we learned how to make a healthy turkey version at home…but it’s a lot of work. These Turkey Gyros Meatball Skewers, however, are pretty fast and effortless. The meatball mixture (which is paleo-compliant) can be made up to 8 hours ahead of time for easy party prep, […]
Fresh: This is really good cauliflower fried rice. Out: I bet cauliflower fried rice egg cups would be huge. Fresh. Out.: Yeah, they would… (much experimentation, R&D, failure, analysis, expletives, and finally, victory). Through extensive qualitative analysis, we have concluded that Cauliflower Fried Rice Egg Cups are, in fact, delicious. Enjoy. Print clock icon cutlery […]
This Grain-Free Leftover Chicken Pot Pie has the flakiest crust and is as versatile as your chicken recipes. We made an amazing Herb Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables and had leftovers.

When it’s this hot outside and fresh produce is abundant, cooking should be optional. No matter what your mother told you, it really is okay to have a snack platter for dinner. We’re not talking about the sad celery and carrot tray with the industrial ranch dip. No. We’re talking about a rainbow of vegetables […]
