Today is the halfway point of my second Whole30 and I have a confession to make. I am not pursuing a perfectly compliant Whole30 this time around. Now, the hard-core Whole30 veteran in me HATES admitting this. Because I don’t want to cause my brothers and sisters to stumble. And because I know that some…

Sweet Potato Chorizo Chili (Whole30, Paleo)
We love chorizo in our house, and there are some nice Whole30 approved chorizo options at our local grocery store. The brand is Logan’s and it is made here locally in Northern Virginia. I really like the flavor combination of ground beef and ground pork of some kind, and it really worked with the sweet…

The Whole Scoop on My Whole30 – Part 2

Mustard Chicken Recipe {Cooking Adventures}
When Brian and I were dating, I invited him over for dinner. You may recall that I had not yet “blossomed” in the kitchen so I was a tiny bit worried about what I would make to impress my new beau. My go-to recipe in times like these, the ONLY dish I knew how to…
Gadgets and Other Fun Kitchen Toys {Cooking Adventures: Day 11}
Here is a quick run-down of my favorite kitchen toys and gadgets. Meat Thermometer – I wrote about this before on the blog. There is nothing worse than overcooked meat. This can be easily avoided with a good digital thermometer. I use mine every single time I cook meat and it works like a charm….
My Favorite Tools, Part 2 {Cooking Adventures: Day 10}
When we first got our Shun knives, the block came with kitchen shears. At the time, I really didn’t understand why the knives came with scissors. For years the shears went untouched except for the occasional snip of kitchen twine or to cut hard-to-open plastic lids off containers. Little did I know just how helpful…
My Favorite Tools, Part 1 {Cooking Adventures: Day 9}
There are many things without which I cannot survive in the kitchen. I tried to write a post titled: “the one thing I can’t live without in the kitchen” yet I came to realize that I cannot narrow it down to one. I will try to prioritize my list in order of importance and write…
