Whole30 Roasted Artichokes
If I think back to all the meals I had when I was a kid, artichokes definitely stand out as a favorite. We didn’t have them very often, but every so often we’d get to have the special vegetable that you got to eat with…

Beet Top and Couscous Salad
Recently, when shopping at a farmers market here in Anchorage, I saw these Bulls Blood beet tops, and I knew I had to buy them. And while I didn’t know exactly what I was going to use them for, I did have some pretty specific…
Whole30 Carrot Top Salsa Verde
Now that we’re deep in the summer months, the farmers markets across the country are in full swing. Doesn’t matter if you’re in Alaska or California, there are plenty of markets to visit and fresh produce to explore. And with every farmers market, there’s likely at least one farmer selling carrots.

Carrot Top and Quinoa Tabbouleh is a great recipe to have in your back pocket to prevent food waste. It uses a ton of herbs, so it is a great way to use up whatever is leftover from purchasing a whole bunch, including the tender…

Whole30 Mojito Salmon with Crispy Roasted Potatoes
Cooking salmon has a huge return on the time and effort invested. It’s a flavorful fish that can stand up to many different cooking methods and flavors. Here, I mix sour, floral limes with cool mint to make an enticing combination for this Whole30 mojito salmon with crispy, roasted fingerling potatoes.
I’ve really become a fan of sheet pan meals, especially for weeknight meals when I’m cooking after work. Most sheet pan meals plop everything on the pan and then the meal roasts in the oven, but this dinner is a little different. While the potatoes roast in the oven, you’ll prepare the salmon en papillote, which is a cooking method that will gently steam the salmon. The little parchment packages are placed on the sheet pan as the potatoes finish crisping up. This dinner is fast, and easy, making it perfect for nights where you want dinner fast and don’t want to do dishes afterward.
