I want to share with you one of my favorite grocery store items. Chorizo! And not just any chorizo… This particular chorizo is FANTASTICALLY delicious while also maintaining a low fat content. While I have no qualms with high-fat animal products, I am notably impressed when a lean sausage makes my taste buds happy. Most sausages are great…

BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad
Does anyone remember “tearing” lettuce for salads growing up? It had to be one of the most frequent jobs passed on to us children while mom was making dinner. Right up there with shredding cheese and opening cans. I honestly can’t think of a job more inefficient than the tearing of lettuce. First of all,…
Basil Cream Meatloaf with Balsamic Drizzle
Is there any possible way to take a good picture of meatloaf? I mean, even on a good day, it still just looks like a brick of smushed food matter. Pictures notwithstanding, this dish is actually really delicious. Using white meat to make meatloaf is a tricky proposition (even trickier than taking its picture) because…
Spicy Mango Shrimp Salad
I’m in love with this fresh, light, and colorful salad. I don’t cook with fish or shellfish too often, but this dish makes me want to change that PRONTO. Spicy Mango Shrimp Salad 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and de-veined (tail-off) 1 Tbsp. red palm oil or coconut oil 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and diced 1/2 cucumber, peeled…
Coconut Curry Chicken Poppers with Sweet and Sour Sauce
Who loves popcorn chicken?! I figure a lot of people do since I see it advertised so often. While this may not yield the exact same result as a KFC, Red Lobster, or Long John Silver’s popcorn chicken, I can assure you that the taste and nourishment from this Paleo/Gluten/Grain-Free interpretation will be much more mentally and…
Creamy Poblano and Avocado Soup
I thought I’d throw one up for the paleo AND vegan/vegetarian crowd today. This soup is absolutely fantastic. It’s also pretty versatile in the sense that you can prepare it in a blender or on the stove top as well as serve it warm or cold. Great for winter and PERFECT for summer! This is…
Herb Scramble with Veggies
Breakfast for Paleo peeps can get a little boring. Eggs, bacon. Eggs, bacon. Eggs, sausage. Eggs, bacon. You see what I mean? There’s nothing revolutionary about this meal but I think it’s a refreshing way to shake up the everyday scrambled egg. Herb Scramble with Veggies 2 eggs 1/2 c. sliced mushrooms 1 c. spinach…
Burger Eggs
I wanted to make some burgers to use for meals throughout the week, but I was also hungry for breakfast. This is the story of how Burger Eggs were born! This recipe is great because you can get two things done at once and only dirty up one skillet. Lately, I’ve been a huge fan of…
Bacon, Mushroom, and Spinach Frittata
Just a quick little breakfast item. I like frittatas for multiple reasons: You can load them with things like meat and veggies. They are great as leftovers for when you don’t have anytime to cook but you need a quick snack that’s paleo-friendly You don’t have to flip it like an omlette. This one started…
Paleo Bread
[Update: While I love these two versions of paleo bread, My Flourless Cashew Bread cannot be beat! It requires fewer ingredients and has a less “nutty” flavor because cashews have a much more neutral flavor. Just make the recipe and use a loaf pan instead of a muffin tin. Try them all and tell me…
