Roasted Italian Romanesco
Before I tell you how to make this wonderful recipe, you might be wondering what exactly romanesco is. Romanesco is a cruciferous vegetable that seems like a hybrid between cauliflower and broccoli, yet it is its own unique vegetable. In fact, it is probably the most beautiful vegetable you will ever see, with its ornate spiral patterns and vibrant green color. It tastes similar to cauliflower and it can be eaten cooked or raw. In this recipe we jazz it up with the wonder

Quick Keto Bison Chili
If you are on a paleo or keto diet, you probably think chili is a meal you will have to forego. Traditionally, chili contains beans; however, beans (while classified as a "protein") actually metabolize in the body as a carbohydrate that turns into sugar. In addition, beans are very difficult to digest. (Remember the song, "beans, beans, the magical fruit..") Not to worry, you can still fulfill your chili craving with this low-carb hearty meal. This recipe is perfect for a c

Savory Rosemary Grilled Chicken Tenders

Instant Salt & Vinegar Brussel Sprouts
I have to admit, I have a weakness for salt and vinegar chips. Craving that flavor without the starchy potato and unhealthy oils, I found out this can be done with brussel sprouts (and I actually prefer them over the chips now). I am definitely on an instant pot kick because it saves so much time and makes clean-up very easy; however, if you don't have a pressure cooker, you can simply bake the brussel sprouts instead (directions below). Brussel sprouts are low in calories a

Cucumber Salad (Mizeria)
Growing up with a Polish chef as a father, this was one of my favorite recipes he made. It was not until recently that I realized this was a Polish cucumber salad recipe named Mizeria, which meant "misery". This recipe is quite the opposite of misery; however it was given this name by the homesick Italian princess who married a Polish King in the 16th century. She missed Italian cucumbers so much that everytime she ate this delicious recipe, she cried. Being a health pract
