How I Came to Love Mac and Cheese

  There are Two Kinds of Mac and Cheese There are two schools of thought when it comes to macaroni and cheese. The first school believes that creaminess is king. The other thinks that the real king is a crisp topping. I am Switzerland. There is no bad macaroni...

Chilaquiles Paleo Style

One of my favorite Sunday brunch foods is Chilaquiles. Since the main ingredient for these babies is tortilla chips, it is 100% not an item you can eat when you are living that paleo life. However, since the wonderful people at Siete Foods developed a DELICIOUS corn free tortilla chip, these babies are BACK in my life. I’m so excited to share my paleo chilaquiles with you!

Pollo Pibil

I love a green salsa. If I get to choose between red and green... I go for green everytime. I love the tart, herby, spiciness of them. Don't get me wrong I love a tomato based salsa as much as the next girl, but tomatillo salsa... well that has my heart!  You can’t make chilaquiles of any kind, nevermind paleo chilaquiles without salsa. My preference is a  smooth tomatillo salsa made in the simplest way possible, just simmer and blend! This recipe is simple to make and not very hot at all.

Tostones (or Cara de Gato)
