Green Curry Broccoli Soup
We partnered with the team at Half Your Plate for this post. I developed this Green Curry Broccoli Soup to bring some exciting flavor to a classic vegetable soup - and I made 2 versions!

Everything Instant Pot
What is the Instant Pot? The Instant Pot is - wait: you don’t know? Whoa. This is so exciting that we get to introduce it to you!

Paleo Salsa
This recipe has been in the works for almost a year.

Instant Pot Beet Borscht
A classic recipe made paleo- and Instant Pot- friendly. Instant Pot Beet Borscht is packed with vegetables and warm borscht goodness. It is decidedly Autumn. Daylight savings time really clinches it for me. Winter is coming. And the time change makes me cranky. It is dark when I get home from work, it's dark when I go to work. And it makes me want to go home and go to bed. So obviously using my Instant Pot so that I can have dinner at 5:45 and be tucked warmly in bed by 7pm is a win ...
