Asian-Inspired Stuffed Sweet Peppers

Cast Iron Skillet Pesto Pizza
Introducing the best pizza I’ve had in YEARS. Oh MAN does this pizza impress. This was a group effort the other night – my brother-in-law, sister, and I all worked on getting this pizza together. We fought with it, we had a serious setback, we had delays. But an hour and a half later when […]

Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta Sauce
A weekend conversation between me and Preston: P: will you still love me if I go Paleo? I guess that’s kind of as opposite as our diets can get… Me: no, we’d both eat a ton of vegetables. You do realize doing Paleo well means you’ll actually have to eat a lot of vegetables, right? […]
