Chili makes the world go round.
So does mashed potatoes.
Put them together, and you get all the best things in life.
I can’t say enough about this deliciousness. I had a major chili craving thanks to the cool snap in the weather.
I usually put it over mashed sweet potatoes, but I had creamer potatoes from the farmers market I needed to use.
And it was a yummy, filling dinner.
What do you put chili on?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But when you do a Whole30 or live a mostly Paleo lifestyle, breakfasts can get boring.
I mean you can only have eggs so many ways before you get tired of them.
Enter Paleo French Toast.
I’ve been trying all different kinds of grain free breads. Last week, it was Simple Mills Artisan Bread. This week I made Against All Grain’s Blender Bread.
So I whipped up a batch of French Toast.
Sometimes you just need a little sweetness to start your day.

I’ve successfully completed the Whole30 program three times, but I’ve never keep up my good habits longer than a couple weeks.
This time it’s different, and I can feel it.
It’s been 15 days since we completed the September Whole30. And I’ve kept the spirit of Whole30 alive while making “worth it choices.”
I love The Fold. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Little Rock.
I like it because I can make good choices. If I want tacos, I get corn tortillas. The salads are huge and delicious. And they allow you to substitute or eliminate problem foods. For me, that is gluten and dairy.
Knowing those foods create problems for me is so freeing. Knowing I can still eat them from time to time and not feel guilty is even more freeing.
The Whole30 is not about depriving yourself for 30 days so you can “eat whatever you want.” It’s about learning your body and how it reacts to certain foods. It’s about understanding your habits toward emotional eating. It’s about stopping the binge eating of “foods with no breaks.”
Take control of your relationship wth food. Try the Whole30. It could be your saving grace.
I have a new found love of Indian food.
Curry powder is a new favorite of mine. So flavorful. Very few ingredients came become a masterpiece of a dinner.
This chicken curry was so yummy.
What you need:
Heat up a pan with a little avocado oil. Sauté the chicken with curry powder, cayenne and pepper.
Add in the veggies. Cook until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Add more curry, cayenne and salt, if you want.
Stir in tomato paste and coconut milk.
Cube potatoes and put in a pot of water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes until potatoes are soft.
Drain the potatoes. Put back in the warm pot. Mash. Season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!
When your local farmers market has filet mignon kabob meat, you get it.
Because life is too short for ordinary kabobs.
This is so easy.
Just be sure to not stab yourself with the bamboo skewers like I did. Twice.
What you need:
Heat the grill to 350 degrees. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes.
Prep the veggies and meat. Coat the steak with a little avocado oil and steak seasoning.
Put each ingredient on the skewer until all are gone.
Grill for about 10 minutes. The steak pieces are small, and you don’t want to overcook them. Turn the skewers a couple times to get good grill marks.
I plated mine with a side of cauliflower rice.
Very filling. A pretty dinner.
