My favorite thing about the NFL post-season: Chili! This chili is fairly mild and is delicious served with corn chips. I used canned beans and tomatoes to save time, but if you had more time it would probably be even tastier if you diced your own tomatoes and cooked your own beans. Continue reading

Taco Salad
Before I changed my diet, I would often make tacos for a quick, easy weeknight dinner. I would throw a pack of seasoning mix into some meat/beans/veggies and call it an entree. Once I started reading labels, I realized commercial taco mix is full of unnecessary additives (lactose! maltodextrin! autolyzed yeast extract! MSG! soy! “natural flavors”!), so I decided to start making my own mix. I make the mix ahead so its ready to go when I need a quick meal. Continue reading

If I want chicken stock, I’ll add a chicken carcass or maybe 2 pounds of chicken wings. Continue reading
Apple Onion Relish
This is a flavorful accompaniment to roasted pork or chicken. It would also make a nice addition to a salad or wrap sandwich (Lately I’ve been obsessed with Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas for making wraps). Continue reading
