10 Minute Verde Chicken Soup
I’ve probably made this soup once a month for the last 3 months or so. It’s such a great ‘clean out the pantry’ kind of meal, and now I’ve got leftovers portioned out and hanging around in the freezer for post baby meals-in-a-hurry. I am officially full-term today (I’ve been pregnant for 10 months!!!) and…

Vitamin A Bisque
We’ve started training for the CrossFit Games Open and things have been rushed, hurried and brief lately. I’m not expecting to qualify individually–team is my bag. My primary training partner (who was on our team last year) up and moved herself out to California to coach at CrossFit PB in Pacific Beach, CA. I’m happy for…

Bacon & Egg Breakfast Chili
Adding bacon and eggs to a chili is a really great way to stretch a pound of ground meat. I originally set out to make this in the crock pot, as I’m trying to broaden my crockery cookery horizons, but then promptly realized that cooking this over an open flame would actually allow it to…

Onion Soup with Cheesy Cauliflower
Not like  it’s cold here in South Carolina (I am not complaining), but this soup sure does warm up your insides. Yield: 4 very generous servings Ingredients For the Soup 2 T f.o.c. (fat of choice), we used duck fat 4 large onions, thinly sliced (A mix of onions is great. We used 1 red…

Stewed Collard Greens with Chorizo
The cheap, leafy green veggie that is often overcooked into slimy, tasteless mush. Did you guess collard greens or did the title give it away? Hmmm. We only eat them once a year (shame on us), New Year’s Day (some silly ‘good luck’ tradition), well…maybe with BBQ every once in a while too. So I…

Leftovers Stock
While there is nothing wrong with going out and buying chicken necks and ox tails to make stock with, I assume many people don’t utilize what they’ve already got sitting in the fridge to make a perfectly yummy, if not superiorly flavored, homemade stock. We roasted prime rib for dinner one night and I simply…

Egg (Not) Drop Soup
Cheap and easy. Sounds like a pay-per-view movie title. I’m talking about a five minute meal that costs less than five dollars to make. The best of both worlds, ya? This is a simple riff on the classic egg drop soup, which is an equally cheap and easy soup to make. My version really just…

Curry Fish Chowder with Crou-tains (Paleo Croutons)
I know this looks like a long ass list of ingredients, but bear with me. I’ve tried my hardest to simplify the process of adding a ton of flavor without having to be a slave to the method or the list of ingredients. What I mean is…I am lazy. I really dislike recipes that make…

Fennel & Fish Chowder
Super quick fish chowder. I used cod because it’s a firm, meaty, flaky fish that’s pretty easy on the budget and difficult to overcook. I even found it wild-caught in the freezer section of the grocery store. Besides using my new favorite soup base of the cream-like, non-coconut tasting coconut creamer, I took out the normal chowder…

Caramelized Three Onion Cauliflower Soup with Basil Oil
“Mistake Gone Right” should be the title of this recipe. It happens all the time, let’s be honest. We set out to make some glorious meal for our loved ones (or ourselves), and somewhere down the line, it all goes down the pooper. So what can you do to salvage? Just add stock and blend. Soup…
-
Pumpkin Chili with Avocado Cream
“Oh dear Lord, not another Paleo chili recipe!” I know. You’ve seen tens if not hundreds of chili recipes and you’ve probably eaten it that many times too. You’re probably sick of it. But, please, let us explain… Making this spice mixture yourself is the key to the unique flavor of this chili. No chili…

Mexican Acorn Squash Soup with Smoky Chicken and Spicy Seeds
Though this is a multi-step, multi-component dish, I would like to say it’s also multi-tasty. Make all of the components–or just some of them, either way you’ll be feasting on a mouth load of flavor. Ingredients For the Chicken 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 T smoked paprika 2 T olive oil s&p For…

Melt in Your Mouth Beef Stew
Practically every recipe for beef stew calls for “stew beef.” I’ve seen it in the store. I’ve used it without much success in stew. But really, what the heck is it? After a bit of research, I found it’s typically chuck or round. Chuck is around the shoulder and round is around the rear of…
-
Paleo Chicken and Andouille Gumbo
This is a serious multi-tasking kind of recipe. I don’t typically make/write recipes that require dirtying lots of dishes or require multiple steps or too many ingredients, because I know most people (including myself, most days) just want to eat something a.) that tastes good b.) is good for us and c.) doesn’t require washing…

Mediterranean Beef Stew with Green Olive Pesto
Beef stew, also known as beef bourguignon, is good, but boring–and we personally think it tastes like straight up sour wine and that is not very tasty, especially by the spoonful. So we’ve added a bit of balsamic vinegar and raisins to counter the sour with a bit of sweet. We’re also swirling in a…
