Whoever said omelets were only a breakfast food clearly didn't know what they were talking about. I think an omelet is good at any time of the day. And this Greek omelet is so full of flavor that it will satisfy your next craving for something satisfyingly savory, salty, and delicious.
Omelets can be tricky - the whole folding thing takes practice. First off, make sure you're using enough eggs. This recipe calls for three.
Once your pan is preheated and the olive oil has become shiny, pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Using a spatula, lift the edges of the eggs gently and let the liquid flow underneath. Continue this process until ...

Breakfast Noodle Bowl With Eggs
Who said you can't have noodles for breakfast? I sure didn't. This Breakfast Noodle Bowl is exactly what you need when you are stuck in your same-breakfast rut.
This bowl is great for a number of reasons. First off, if you live in an area where winter happens, this is a comforting way to start the day. The warm broth is perfectly slurp-able and delicious. This bowl is also great because it's an easy way to get in a bunch of vegetables right off the bat.
The star of the show for this dish is the zucchini noodle. The easiest way to get perfect zucchini noodles is to have a spiralizer of some sort. There are all kinds available on the ...

Sweet Potato Waffle Hash Browns
What's better than a waffle? You might say "nothing!", but I think this recipe might be. These sweet potato waffle hashed browns are everything that's great about breakfast. It's yummy, filling, sweet AND savory. Top it with an egg and it's got a healthy punch of protein.
Sunday mornings are my favorite time of the week. At my house (or, should I say tiny apartment...), it's the only day of the week that I don't have to be anywhere. That means, I can wake up without an alarm. (Worth noting that I'm still up by 7:30 AM, but hey, it's fine...) Mornings on Sunday are slow. There's a lot of in-bed lounging. There's no rush.
That also ...

Southwest Turkey Hash
What's better than starting your day with a something hearty and delicious? This Southwest turkey hash is just that. And eating a serving of this will kick your day off with an impressive amount of protein.
Hashes, like this one, are great when you need something satisfying but you have a bunch of seemingly random ingredients. Have some veggies in your fridge that you need to use asap? Make a hash. Have a few potatoes that are nearing their end date? Make a hash. Add in some protein and spices, throw some eggs on top and you've got yourself an impressive, and simple, meal.
With chili powder, oregano, and cumin, this hash is ...

Lemon Caper Chicken and Garlic Spinach
Low on effort, but high on flavor. This is how I'd describe this recipe for lemon caper chicken and garlic spinach.
Anytime I can get a bunch of green vegetables in my mouth easily, I'm all for it. Spinach is great for this because - even though this recipe calls for 6 cups of those baby green leaves - it will wilt down so small that it won't be hard to eat.
Add in the fact that there is no lack of garlic and garlic makes everything better. That's the truth.
What's so great about spinach? Well, first of all, it's loaded down with vitamin C. Vitamin C is great for the immune system. It's also got vitamin K, folate, fiber, and ...

Chocolate Coconut Fudge
SWEET TOOTH ALERT! Where are my fudge lovers?
*proudly raises hand*
In my family, fudge has long been a holiday gift. Every year, Christmas rolls around and I end up with a tin full of fudge in my hand. Sometimes, peanut butter. Sometimes, chocolate. Sometimes, I end up with the one my sister wants and we switch. No matter, it's always delicious. So rich and sweet that I have to take tiny little bites as I eat my way through it.
The fudge recipe we have for you today is a spin on a classic. This one could definitely be considered keto and is most definitely paleo-friendly.
The main components in this fudge are coconut oil and ...

Cashew Orange Chicken
Remember a month or so ago when I gave you a recipe for all of those times you're craving take-out? It was a delicious chopped chicken salad with this creamy almond sesame dressing.
I hope you made it because that salad was one of my favorite recipes in a while.
But I'm coming at you today to give you one more recipe to put in your arsenal when you've got the itch for Chinese food. To me, this ranks right up there with that salad. It's loaded with protein, healthy fats, and carbs to keep you firing on all cylinders.
Orange chicken used to be one of my favorite things to order from our local Chinese restaurant. The dish would come ...

Paleo Lunch Ideas
More than any other meal, there's something about lunch that can be tricky for people. You need it to come together pretty quickly if you're packing it in the morning. Or if you pack it the night before, you need it to hold up over hours and hours. No one likes soggy food come lunchtime. Add in finding paleo-friendly options and sometimes it can feel hopeless. But don't fear - I'm going to show you how I approach it and give you some of my favorite paleo lunch ideas.
How to make the perfect lunch
I'm here to tell you that eating absolutely does not have to be complicated. That being said, I understand why it is. There's so ...
