Red coconut curry soup, for when you want curry, but don't want to splurge on the bell peppers. Also a good alternative to chicken noodle for when feeling awful because it's winter in general. 

Vegan + gluten free pumpkin stew, perfect for when you're over all this fall rain and need to murder and devour a pumpkin. 

So I was making chicken soup and decided to add dumplings. It happens! Here's how to make it happen on purpose, stock recipe included just in case you roasted a chicken just before and have an extra carcass around. 

Roasting a whole chicken doesn't have to be scary, just put on some folk music, pretend you're back on the homestead, and get intimate with your poultry. But it's the shape of a real live chicken!! That's ok, it's supposed to be that way :D

Sometimes it's cloudy in August and it makes your brain think winter is here so you just don't want to go to the store but need some hot lunch. Things in the fridge, combined with things in the pantry. Simple recipe, easily adaptable to you what you have in your fridge! 

Grilling salmon with one thing but mastering the art of not destroying a piece of leftover fish is another. Keep reading for my recipe for easy grilled salmon and the kale + rice bowl I had with it the next day.

A vegan and paleo version of the peanut butter cup blown up and sliced. It's an amazing dessert, but also a pretty decadent breakfast treat to have with coffee. No baking necessary for this recipe so it's perfect for the summer when we can't risk turning the oven on without making the house unbearably hot. 

Chicken banana casserole, aka flygande jakob, so confusing it has to be good. Original version of the casserole is made up of chicken, bananas, whipped heavy cream, heinz chili sauce, bacon, and peanuts. This paleo version leaves out the dairy and uses a homemade chili sauce rather than the bottled kind, to leave out the corn syrup. 

I quit my job! So here's a ham heavy quiche recipe to celebrate all the free time that's about to happen in my life. Hopefully I wont spend all of it eating ham quiche. 

This recipe takes some time! So plan ahead, but definitely still do it, because it really is the best. Carnitas are one of my favorite things to make not only because they go great on most foods but also because pork shoulder goes on sale at my grocery store regularly. 

Whole30 and Paleo! The dressing is the real winner here. and the squash when you're doing whole30, they taste like candy. 

Drinking butter. for health. It's been a few years since I've had a latte,but back in the day, before realizing the health factors, lattes were amazing. Milk, coffee, shot of some vanilla or hazelnut syrup: MAGICAL. This is the Latte of 2016. (wait do people still drink lattes?)

Round and pizza like, not totally a pizza. Just go with it. 

A winter vegetable hash made with delicata squash, kale, leek, and sausage. 

carrots, leeks, curry, coconut, and all fresh basil. EAT THIS!
