This hippy-style skillet is a simple, one-pan meal packed with tender chicken, colorful veggies and flavor. Made with a quick homemade teriyaki sauce using coconut aminos, it delivers that classic sweet-and-savory taste without the sugar and extra junk found in most store-bought versions.

This was one of our all-time family favorites growing up. My mom made it on repeat and lovingly nicknamed it “Alpo” because…well, it kind of looks like dog food. 😆

Great for midlife energy, blood sugar stability, inflammation reduction, or anyone who wants pizza without the post-meal slump. Family-approved, picky-eater friendly, and ready in less than an hour.

Instead of flour or heavy cream, this sauce uses cottage cheese as the base, which blends into a smooth, velvety sauce that’s packed with protein and flavor.

It’s an easy, make-ahead dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, family gatherings, or bringing a meal to someone who needs one. Everything comes together quickly, and the flavors only get bette

One of my originals, and I’ve made it a variety of ways through the years and everyone always loves it. The best thing is that you can use whatever ground protein you want - ground pork, chicken, beef or turkey – or even shrimp if you want. You can also use white or brown rice instead of cauliflower, or an even mixture of rice and cauliflower rice, or just cauliflower rice or even just rice. Great for weekly meal planning and can be a side dish or a main dish – your choice!

By making small, intentional swaps here or there, you can still enjoy the same flavors and textures while also nourishing your body and feeling better afterward.

Spices add flavor - don't be afraid to use them, especially those like turmeric that help with inflammation. Spoiler: Perfection is NOT one of the rules.   Hippy Crap is simple: Prioritize real, whole foods that nourish your body, fight inflammation, and support midlife wellness—without turning meals into a chore or sacrificing flavor.   Fewer processed junk, more fresh fruits/veggies, spices galore (especially anti-inflammatory heroes like turmeric), and organic when it fits

Hippy Crap is exactly what it sounds like—a fun, affectionate family nickname turned into a whole philosophy (and now a brand!) for making everyday meals a little healthier without turning life upside down. Hippy Crap isn’t about perfection. It’s about small, realistic swaps that make everyday meals a little healthier—without turning cooking into a chore or sacrificing taste.
