Pineapple

Pineapple Ginger Glazed Baked Salmon is a sweet and tangy healthy salmon recipe with an amazing pineapple-ginger glaze. This nourishing main entree is requires just 6 ingredients, easy to prepare, packed with flavor, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Bake it or grill it for a mouth-watering delight!

While I fancy myself a fairly unopinionated human, when it comes to salmon, I’ve got opinions, man. For instance, I am of the wholehearted belief that:

• Fatty salmon is the most delicious of all the proteins.
• Crispy baked salmon is the best way to prepare salmon
• Pineapple and ginger make an amazing combination for a marinade or sauce!

I double dog dare you to test my salmon theory for an otherworldly dining experience 😉

This Pineapple Ginger Baked Salmon is you want in a great salmon recipe: it’s fatty, it’s zesty, it’s sweet, it’s tangy, it’s crispy AND glazed, protein packed AND interesting.

Let’s get into it!

You know how fried rice is supposed to be a side dish when you’re doing takeout? Yeah…it’s a main entree in my household.

One of our favorite Thai restaurants in Reno has a pineapple fried rice on the menu, so naturally every single time we go, we order it, no doubts, questions or concerns.

Recently, I’ve been making a point of recreating my favorite restaurant comfort foods at home. For a few reasons. 1.) Lockdown. 2.) Reverse-engineering (and ideally improving upon!) recipes is a hobby of mine and 3.) I like knowing exactly what is going into my food. 

You say, “control freak,” I say “awareness.” 😉

IRREGARDLESS ( <- don’t kill me with fire ) pineapple fried rice is such a treat! And when made in the comfort of your own home, you can make it as healthy or as trashy as you’d like.

Moist, fluffy, grain-free and naturally sweet paleo hummingbird muffins make for an amazing breakfast or snack.

Helloooo February!

Is it safe to discuss muffins yet?

If you did a Whole30 or a little paleo re-set in January, you may be ready as can be for a baked treat.

Well, great news! Not only are these muffins so incredibly tasty, but they’re actually nutritious and pretty great from a macronutrient standpoint. Meaning, you don’t need to feel guilty whatsoever about consuming them…not that we’re capable of feeling guilt ‘round these parts, right? Right!

What exactly is a hummingbird muffin? Hummingbird muffins include pineapple, banana, and pecans. While they traditionally are made with all-purpose flour and sugar, I replace the wheat with almond flour and simply omit the sugar.

We end up with a moist, naturally sweet, fluffy muffin that is perfect for breakfast or snack. They’re grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, and oil-free…basically an epic win!

I use Bob’s Red Mill Finely Ground Almond Flour for these muffins. As you already know, the majority of my baked goods are made using almond flour – it’s simply my favorite of all the grain-free flours because the texture turns out nice and fluffy, and I thoroughly enjoy the health benefits of it!

Let’s bake muffins!
