So, technically, this is a Whole30 recipe but you can easily amend it with some cheesy goodness if you’re looking for a little more decadence in your life. Personally, as we approach the one-year anniversary of the first pandemic lockdown, I’m past decadence and I’m just looking for the will to live – which I’ve…

Thai Shrimp Curry on Cauliflower Rice
I know full well how easy it is to give ourselves over to a diet of cheesy carbs as we hibernate for winter (more so this year than most) but I’m trying to keep it fresh with meals that are both comforting and healthful. This Thai Shrimp Curry on Cauliflower Rice is just the ticket…
Instant Pot Piri-Piri Short Ribs with Sweet Potato Fries & Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Welcome to Taste & Tipple in 2021! New year, same attitude. I’ll be continuing to serve you quality food and drink content twice weekly, maybe more often if you’re good to me. 😉 This year I’m doing Whole30 again but slightly modified to allow for a quarter ounce of syrup here and there in the…
How to Succeed at Whole30
I successfully completed the Whole30 challenge and I’m here to tell you how you can do the same (if you’re so inclined). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Whole30 is an elimination diet designed to remove certain food groups and then reintroduce them after a period to identify possible food sensitivities. What’s eliminated…
Whole30 Curried Butternut Squash Soup
Yes, yes, Whole30 is now over and “treat yo’ self” was my mantra yesterday as I reintegrated some of the forbidden food groups back into my diet. As you may have guessed though, this blog is not the work of a moment, so I shot today’s recipe over the weekend while I was still in…
Avocado Cilantro Lime Dip
Today is the final day of my Whole30 challenge! Yasss! I am so excited to indulge in something sweet tomorrow. Sugar has definitely been the one thing I’ve missed most throughout this process. I have done a lot of reflection throughout this process and will share the full recap with the recipes I made, challenges,…
Banana Mango Smoothie Bowl
While smoothies are not strictly encouraged on Whole30, they’re also not forbidden, assuming they don’t have any non-compliant ingredients. Sometimes, you just need a breakfast option that isn’t eggs. As such, allow me to introduce you to this tasty little Banana Mango Smoothie Bowl. Transport yourself to more tropical climes with this taste of sunshine….
Lemon Roasted Salmon and Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto Chips
This time next week, I will be eating sugar bread, firm tofu, black beans, cheese and swigging back bourbon. Less than one week left in my Whole30 challenge. I do feel great now that I’m in the “tiger blood” phase of the challenge – feeling energetic and strong, mentally sharp, sleeping well, etc. I’ll give…
Bacon and Egg Sweet Potato Boats
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten more eggs in a month as I have during this Whole30 challenge. When grains and dairy are off the table – there’s not much else on offer for breakfast. No granola, cereal, oatmeal, toast, yogurt, and even smoothies are discouraged, even if they meet the Whole30 criteria. In search…
Blood Orange Rosewater Mocktail
Guys, it’s Day 16 of Whole30, I’m past the halfway point but I was missing my cocktail shaker more than my mom missed me when I moved away to university. (JUST KIDDING MOM! It’s not possible to miss anything that much) I decided to take matters, and by matters, I mean my cocktail shaker, into…
