Paleo tortilla bowls
I have a confession. Before returning to Paleo 3 years ago (after a 6 year hiatus), I would eat quesadillas for lunch everyday. I was working on a huge project that consumed all my time and energy and cooking myself lunch was not a priority. So I settled for easy. It also happened that quesadillas […]
64 degree egg
If you like your eggs served a bit runny you’re going to be just as obsessed with the 64 degree egg as I am. I discovered the idea at a local restaurant. The eggs had a creamy consistency like custard, and unlike a fried egg, the whites were as soft and creamy as the yolks. […]
Brussels Sprout muffins
Yes you read that right. You can pretty much make muffins out of anything. These are savory muffins, packed with the power of green veggies, which are great for cleansing and supporting the liver this time of year (spring cleaning). Believe me your liver will thank you for giving it a bit of a scrub. […]
Scotch eggs and failure
The kitchen is a magical place that brings out the best of my creativity. It’s a place of entertainment and experimentation, where my inner critic and self doubt aren’t welcome. The rest of my life is not like this. I have lots of fear of failure so it’s harder to take risks. Fear of failure […]
Green bean “pasta” with lamb marinara
Pasta is one of the most missed comfort foods on the Paleo diet. If you miss something then substitute it with something yummy to smooth the transition. Paleo style is to substitute sugar-bomb noodles with healthier carbs, veggies. Spaghetti squash and spiralized zucchini noodles are popular substitutions. But you can also make noodles from sweet […]
Broccoli plantain coconut soup
Sometimes my best recipes emerge from the need to use produce before it goes bad. If I didn’t have broccoli florets languishing in my fridge, this broccoli and plantain soup wouldn’t have been made. Plus I love experimenting with flavor combinations. While it may seem like an unlikely mix, this soup has it going on. […]
Raw tahini balls and raw almond balls
Lately I’ve been posting a lot of Paleo desserts. The truth is that last year, I went through a phase of emotional eating from September to the end of November. I didn’t realize it was emotional eating, it felt mostly like I was bitten by the baking bug and I was compelled to make Paleo […]
Maple carob pumpkin seed butter, pumpkin seed milk and graham crackers
My childhood eating habits were pretty unhealthy. I grew up eating processed, sugary foods like Nutella (a chocolate hazelnut butter that is loaded with sugar and bad oil). No wonder I later developed digestive issues that I had to spend years fixing. That’s why these days I focus energy on creating much healthier versions of […]
Coconut cashew ice cream
Dairy is one of my favorite food groups. I could live on it. Diary is a controversial food in the Paleo community. Many people don’t tolerate it and some claim it’s mucus forming and causes weight gain. In an effort to eat less dairy I’ve been making my own nut milks. It’s easy and fun […]
