Pot Roast

It’s easy to forget that some of my winter favorite comfort foods are pretty close to paleo already. This very tasty paleo pot roast won’t disappoint.

Mommy’s Famous Meatloaf

When I was a child I gave my mom nothing but grief about her meatloaf — and now even I can’t help admitting that it rocks! Melissa LOVE’s it and it’s a great comfort food!

Perfect Stovetop Popcorn

Making popcorn from scratch can be tricky. Not only do you want as many kernels as possible to pop, but you also want to keep the kernels from burning at the bottom of the pan. I used to take the easy way out and used (gasp!) microwave popcorn, which by the way, is not that good for you.

Hot Spiced Shrimp

When I lived in Maryland I fell in love with old bay seasoning and hot spiced shrimp. I used to buy my sea food from a truck on the side of the road — something that sounds crazy now but was totally normal there!

Best-Ever Barbecued Ribs

There are ribs, and then there are ribs: succulent, tender beauties that’ll make you look like the neighborhood pitmaster. These are those ribs, courtesy of the best and only recipe you’ll ever need.

The Yummiest Pulled Pork

Apple Cranberry Crisp

A crunchy pecan topping plays up the fall flavor combination of cranberries and apples. Using a combination of apple varieties delivers an unexpected range of textures and tart-sweet flavors.
