Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Happy Paleo Monday! I’ve the perfect recipe for a crisp fall day for you today. One of my favorite “regular” soups is potato leek so, of course, I needed to create a paleo potato leek soup to fill the void now that the weather is cooling down. This is one you’re going to want two bowls of!

Let’s talk zoodles…you know, noodles made out of zucchini. I got a spiralizer back when I started Whole30 and I fell in love. Zoodles are a great noodle replacement and, with such a mild flavor, you can put them into just about anything. My favorite right now is making Thai zucchini noodle salad to replace the yummy sesame noodles I typically get.

Ok, so you remember January when I was totally eating like a cave girl and doing Whole30? Well, a funny thing happens during Whole30 and you start doing “strange” things like eating soup for breakfast or eggs for dinner. I can’t tell you how many strange looks I got at 8am when I was warming up my Thai ginger zucchini soup in the office kitchen for breakfast. Not as strange as the guy with the turkey dinner waiting for the microwave but still some raised eyebrows. This soup is seriously so good though and, while most people would probably enjoy it for lunch or dinner, I some how really wanted it for breakfast a lot.

It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Thai food. From Thai Butternut Squash soup to a host of other things, we eat Thai inspired dishes a lot in our house. Mathlete spends a lot of time begging me to make/eat something other than Thai inspired dishes. So, when I was dreaming up recipes to serve at our upcoming party for the BIG GAME, I knew I wanted to bring a Thai influence into at least one of the game time food options. Our party will be filled with mostly men so I knew French fries would be a hit and decided to make Pad Thai French fries.

Every year, I serve a similar menu for Christmas. Mathlete doesn’t love turkey so, after Thanksgiving, we don’t have that again until next Thanksgiving. I started making a beef tenderloin a few years ago and it is always a hit.

Let’s talk about all the things I can throw into a tortilla, shall we? This week is Thai green curry chicken. Yep, you read that right: Thai…Burritos. This whole crazy burrito thing start when I stopped in at Giant the other day to pick up rolls only they carry. I was struggling with how to spice up our chicken for dinner and saw Campbell’s skillet sauces. I love anything that makes dinner easier but actually adds good flavors to the meal so I grabbed the Thai green curry version and hit the checkout line. Of course, I rarely do anything just as the package says and so their suggestion to serve the meal over a rice totally went out the window in my kitchen.

A lot of people think, when I tell them that I am trying to eat cleanly, that all I get it is meat and veggies. To a degree, that is pretty true because the focus of clean eating is whole foods like meat and vegetables. But, that doesn’t mean all I get to enjoy on those items is salt and pepper. As I was playing around with different food ideas, I made Thai red curry stuffed peppers. These stuffed peppers on the face are really meat and vegetables with a few clean ingredients added in that add so much flavor.
