So by now you might have noticed that I am a big fan of comfort food. I love to cook comforting meals and thinking up ways to reinvent classic combinations is always fun. This week its burgers! We love burgers in our house, but when I’m trying to keep the carbs down, I like to find…

Chicken Parm Meatballs

I am a comfort food cook. I confess. I love hearty and indulgent meals, the kind you have to loosen your belt for. Sadly, I’m not 24 anymore and can’t eat like this all the time. BIG SIGH. Even now when we do crave one of these meals, I try to find alternatives that make…

Crispy Chickpeas

Since I was pregnant with the boys, I suffered from pretty bad sciatic pain. Last October I was looking into different treatments and ended up reading about how grains in our diet can cause inflammation in our bodies….interesting. I decided to try a 30 day grain free diet. It was so successful that we ended up going 60…
