Pomegranate Pico De Gallo

This pomegranate pico de gallo from http://meatified.com is a nightshade free spin on the classic recipe, no tomatoes needed! Crisp, refreshing and perfect as a dip or by the spoon.

As I type this, I’m bracing for the really angry person who is undoubtedly going to yell at me in the comments about how this isn’t “real” pico de gallo because it doesn’t have any tomatoes or serrano peppers. Yeah, yeah, I know. But here’s the thing: although my Pomegranate Pico de Gallo doesn’t contain […]

Roasted Carrots with Green Olive Dressing

Liven up your roasted vegetables with this punchy green olive dressing! It's quick and easy, pairing perfectly with these caramelized roasted carrots from http://meatified.com.

So I have this silly thing about the recipes I share here being “blog worthy”. Whatever the hell that means. In some ways it makes its own odd kind of sense: I don’t want to be yet another blogger in a sea of bloggers telling you all about how my roast broccoli is somehow life changing. […]

Green Onion Pesto

Switch it up for summer with this fresh Green Onion Pesto from http://meatified.com. Whip it into a dip, toss it with grilled veggies or serve with grilled chicken, salmon or steak.

I’m just going to be straight up here: I have the blackest thumb in the history of thumbdom. You name a houseplant, I’ve killed it. I mean, not through lack of trying. It’s not like I ignore the things for three weeks and then wonder why they’re dead. It’s just… I’m totally lacking whatever part […]
