OKAY THIS FETA BRINED CHICKEN IS LIFE CHANGING. I don’t say that lightly or often. I think it’s the best chicken I’ve ever had. Pro Tip: Save the leftover brine from your feta containers as you use it, and freeze till you’re ready to go! EXTRA CRISPY SKIN TIP After patting the chicken dry, place it uncovered in your refrigerator …
MAKE THESE ROASTED POTATOES WITH FETA AND LEMON! Thank me later. I highly recommend you first roast up a bunch of chicken thighs so you can use the fat (aka schmaltz – I wrote up a post on it here) that comes off of them to make these – that’s what we did and it makes them mind-blowingly good! I …
Summer grilling never looked so good! Check out our recipe roundup of summer grilling recipes that are perfect for the indoor or outdoor grill. To be honest, aside from rainy days, it’s almost always grilling season here in San Francisco since it’s about 50-70 degrees outside here year-round. Lately, I prep steak and pork the same way almost every time! …
I don’t know how I never made these Easy Chicken Enchiladas until this past year. What rock have I been living under to have not made enchiladas before?! Tacos, fajitas, rice bowls? We’re on it, but enchiladas somehow didn’t make it into our rotation until now. A while ago, I developed an Enchilada Sauce recipe because I wasn’t able to …

If you’ve been following me on Instagram for the last couple of months, you might have seen I have a new favorite dish to make–my 6 minute salmon. As much as we all say we like variety, most of us eat the same foods over and over again. I’m no different from anyone else in that way, though some of foods/meals I …
I recently purchased a BBQ coffee spice rub from Trader Joe’s that many of you may be familiar with as well. It’s delicious, but, sadly, it’s not organic. Most of the spices at Trader Joe’s aren’t organic. And while I’m not against using non-organic spices now and then, I typically seek out better quality spices to be in my regular …
I recently posted a few photos to social media of almond milk labels and Nutrition Facts/ingredients panels. Much to the surprise of many of you, a very popularly sold brand that is stocked in the cold section of the grocery store (health-washing at its finest here, folks – you’re tricked into thinking it’s healthier since it’s sold as perishable, sigh…) …

Want to try my full Spaghetti Squash Bolognese recipe from Practical Paleo? It’s absolutely a reader favorite and is worth making even if it takes a little bit longer …
