Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri is the new pesto. Yeah, yeah. I was just raving about me and my basil obsession like two posts back ago. But me and my ADD have moved on to it’s cooler and hipper cousin, chimichurri. Pesto is more Marvin Gaye, classic and never goes out of style. But Chimichurri? Chimichurri is Pitbull all the way. Fiery, interesting… makes you wanna dance, spicy if you want it to be and

Maybe I’m just a sucker for an herby sauce and some good beats.

So yes, this is another fresh flavor combination for the summer that you can add to almost anything. Eggs, chicken, sandwiches, salads, grilled veggies, you name it. Mmm, maybe not a smoothie. Don’t add it to a smoothie. Or cake. Definitely not cake either. But you get it, it adds a punch of flavor to almost anything savory.

I’d recommend topping some sweet potatoes with it or using it to dip your sweet potato fries in. (For the fool-proof method of cooking sweet potatoes so they have the perfect crisp, visit my Sweet Potato “Chips” + Dip post.) I also use this same chimichurri in my “Street” Tacos, so feel free to check that out as well.

If you’re looking to make this Whole30 compliant all you need to do it leave the honey out. It’s still delicious. And on one final note, I find it tastes even better if you listen to “Fireball” while you make it. Don’t ask me why, it just works. 😉

Enjoy!

Paleo Chimichurri from the Whole Smiths. Great as a marinade or topping any vegetable or protein. Paleo friendly, gluten-free and easy to make Whole30 compliant.

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
