This Paleo Butternut Sausage Apple Stuffing is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, or alongside a simple roasted chicken. For years, I’ve been making my Cranberry Sweet Potato Stuffing 2 Ways for Thanksgiving dinners. However, mashed potatoes are way more important to me than stuffing.

I love the sweet-salty flavors combined with the fresh citrus juice....

This Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken is so easy to make, super flavorful, and the leftovers make incredible homemade soup! I’ll admit I’ve gotten all too reliant on convenient cuts of boneless meats, especially chicken. And I think so many of us can relate to the ease factor and quick cooking nature of these cuts of meat. But I really love a good roast/roasted chicken.

It’s that time of year where mangos are starting to fill up the shelves again, and I’m celebrating in the usual way of over-buying and putting them in everything! These days it seems to be easier to get semi-decent mangoes year round, but it’s only in the late winter/early spring months that champagne mangos become widely available. They have a deep yellow skin when they’re ripe, and the mango fruit is the same deep color....

The Sun Point Nature Trail in Glacier National Park is a truly underrated trail. It rarely makes anyone’s ‘top 10’ list, but it has non-stop views, and can be combined to see 3 spectacular waterfalls along the way.

I have a few secrets to share with you today about how I make the tastiest taco meat. A simple combination of spices, plus extra flavor from smoked paprika, with a little tomato paste added in for depth of flavor makes incredibly good taco meat.
