This Father’s Day, show your love and appreciation for what a badass Dad is with (what else?) grilled meat. Plus, bacon. Also known as: Father’s Day classics! I’ve collected more than 100 of my favorite Whole30 Father’s Day recipes that celebrate dads while respecting their health goals. That's right, it's a massive Whole30 recipe roundup... with grill marks! These heal[...]
This easy, everyday Whole30 breakfast pairs sugar-free breakfast sausage with a pasture-raised egg, garlicky wilted spinach, and creamy avocado. Since the Whole30 dietary protocol eliminates grains and sugar for 30 days, store-bought breakfast sausage that is Whole30-approved can be hard to find (if you're not familiar with the Whole30, read the Whole30 rules). I used Belcampo breakfast sa[...]
Having traveled to one or two far off lands I can honestly say that the English breakfast is one of the best in the world. It certainly beats the typical American breakfast of various forms of processed, refined carbohydrates stripped of nutrients and doused with seed and vegetable oils (which will send blood sugar soaring, contribute to body fat, throw your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio out of balanc[...]
Meet my I’m-not-a-breakfast-person kind of start to the day. I love breakfast food but I never have the time or inclination to eat before noon Monday through Friday. So I mix blueberries, coconut, coconut milk, chia seeds, hemp seeds, vanilla, and salt the night before, and wake up to thickened, glorious n'oats (which is short for "not oats" since there's no oatmeal in this recipe). Thi[...]
Fact: cereal is my favorite unhealthy temptation. Do you remember the hullabaloo last month over the news that a surprising number of drunk vegetarians eat meat? Well, if I'm going to indulge after a night of fun... it'll be cereal. So when I saw Recipes to Nourish's Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal, I couldn't wait to give it a happy holidays, grain-free spin. My pumpkin cinnamon roll n'oatmeal&n[...]
Let's be honest, I didn't get these pistachio waffles onto the table in time for Saturday breakfast. I made them around noon, spending a few leisurely minutes grinding nuts, whisking eggs, melting coconut oil. Then into the waffle-maker they went and out of the waffle-maker they came: thick and dense, a tiny snap of crispness to them, chewy on the inside. I ate a quarter of the first hot&n[...]
Say hello to the Fruity Coconut Breakfast Tart! It's simple to make but interesting to eat, and easy on the eyes. The simple to make part is important, because most of my Saturday mornings are spent at my neighborhood Crossfit box (and by "neighborhood" I mean it's a ten minute jog away, great warm-up). If I'm going to make breakfast before heading off to the morning WOD (short for workout[...]
Can you tell that I have a thing for quiche? This is the fourth quiche recipe I've posted here on the blog! The others are my Sweet Potato Quiche, Sweet Pepper Quiche, Sun-Dried Tomato Quiche and Mushroom Onion Quiche Bites. The thing is, quiche is an incredible way to experiment with new flavors in a simple format. I was inspired to make this quiche by my friend Caitlin's Low Car[...]
For the past few weeks (ever since I gave up coffee), I've been getting up early to make a green breakfast smoothie. Not that this smoothie takes a long time to prepare! It's as simple as combining some delectable ingredients into a blender. I've never been particularly wowed by smoothies, and I'm not one to feel healthier because I had a green smoothie for breakfast rather than, say, egg[...]
If you need a breakfast idea that looks and tastes legit but takes only 15 minutes (max) to prep before loading into the oven, this Sweet Pepper Quiche is it. I came up with this dead simple idea to use up some leftover ham and mini sweet peppers that were languishing in the refrigerator. Some of my best recipes are the product of constraints such as the need to re-purpose leftovers. Dress[...]
The Rebel Within is one of the more interesting "stunt" items on a menu in San Francisco. It's named after a Hank Williams song and sold at the Craftsman and Wolves restaurant in the Mission district. The Craftsman and Wolves Rebel Within is an Asiago cheese, green onion, and Easton sausage-flecked muffin with a wet poached egg in the center. My "paleo" grain-free and therefore gluten-free[...]
I know. Everyone is posting pumpkin recipes. You'll be gagging on the stuff long before Thanksgiving. But these aren't like those other pumpkin recipes, the ones smothered in sugar and cream. Let me explain... The original purpose of these muffins was "easy breakfast treat". Often I'm out the door with nothing but a black coffee in the morning... but when I want breakfast I want breakfast and[...]
Turmeric and I are having a moment. Well, it's considerably longer than a moment. After reading Grassfed Girl's post on the benefits of turmeric, I've been incorporating the colorful spice into everything for months. You probably already eat it regularly if you're a fan of Indian food, but with recipes like this, you can eat it for breakfast and a snack! When I was turning the idea of t[...]
Yes, I'm adding my own version to the many, many egg muffin recipes already out there because this recipe works so well, yet begs for adaptation and substitution. I used mushrooms and mustard greens in this instance, but really you could replace the mustard greens with anything dark and leafy (collard greens, kale, turnip greens, spinach) and the mushrooms with any vegetables that's comp[...]
