BIG flavors and a pinch of attitude!
Crispy Paleo Plantain Chips
Chips.
Chips and Salsa.
Chips and Guacamole.
Both are equally my downfall at Mexican restaurants! I wanted to make a healthier version of my favorite snack, and I had a green plantain just hanging out waiting to be used. Crispy Plantain Chips it is. …
Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
Don’t you just love sweet potatoes! They are probably one of my favorite carbs to indulge in. And they are so versatile too! I had been wanting to make hasselback potatoes for a long time, but I very rarely, like once a year rarely, eat white potatoes. So why not try it with sweet potatoes? This recipe is super easy and a fun presentation for the humble sweet potato too!
Here’s what I did… On a cutting board, put the sweet potato in the middle and on either side of it place a chop stick or wooden spoon handle. Using a sharp knife, cut down until you hit the chop stick, and you will not cut through the potato. Make a slice approximately every 1/4″ until the whole potato is evenly sliced. I am wishing I would have taken step by step photos for this one. Maybe I next time I make these!
Drizzle with the melted butter/ghee and seasoning mixture. In this case I used ghee from OMGhee, sprinkled on sea salt and Flavor God Chipotle seasoning, and fresh minced garlic and parsley. You want to make sure the mixture gets in between the hasselback slices. I baked in a cast iron skillet in a 425F degree oven for approximately 35 minutes. Added a teeny bit of shredded cheese and put back in oven for another 5 minutes or until cheese melted. When out of oven, I topped with more chopped parsley, some chopped scallions, and finally, chopped bacon from 5280meat in Colorado!
This dish is a wonderful accompaniment to your steak! Or really anything! Also great for making ahead for meal prepping since the leftovers are delicious!

Sweet Potato, Bacon, Egg Breakfast Skillet
Sweet Potato, Bacon, Egg Breakfast Skillet
I love sweet potatoes. And bacon. And eggs. Especially when you add all 3 of these ingredients together in a cast iron skillet. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes with the saltiness of the bacon, and that gooey yolk that acts like a sauce. Here’s an easy recipe that incorporates all 3 ingredients together along with some smoky chipotle seasoning. Enjoy this for breakfast, or really any meal of the day! I use FlavorGod Chipotle seasoning, however you may use a combination of sea salt, cracked pepper, chipotle powder and cumin to achieve a nice smoky flavor with a little bit of heat. In addition to using FlavorGod in all my dishes, I also love using OMGhee brand ghee, however you may choose to use regular butter instead. Ghee is made from butter that has been heated and the milk solids and water removed. I have switched to using butter made from grass-fed/pasture raised cows, such as Kerrygold, due to the health benefits versus grain fed cows.

quick and easy paleo shrimp tacos
Paleo Shrimp Tacos
I like TACOS. Like, I really like them. I could eat them on the daily, but especially on Taco Tuesdays! Shrimp tacos cook super fast, so this recipe is great when you need a quick dinner! I like to always have a bag of frozen, uncooked shrimp in my freezer because they are super easy to defrost in a pinch.
For the shrimp, my favorite way to cook them is in the oven under the broiler for approximately 6 minutes. It’s fast and hassle free. I melt some ghee and my seasonings and toss the thawed shrimp to coat both sides. Then lay them flat on a foil lined baking sheet for easy clean up. You know the shrimp are cooked when they turn pink.
For the tortillas, I used Stupid Easy Paleo’s recipe for Simple Paleo Tortillas. They are stupid easy! And so good!
For the Cumin-Lime Crema, I used the recipe from the Tacolicious’ cookbook. When I’m in SF every other week, I enjoy going to TLish for some Taco Tuesday!!
For the salsa, I made a Fall inspired Pomegranate Apple Mango Salsa. This may seem to be an unlikely combo, but trust me, it worked!
