Paleo Thai curry
Sweet potato curry in a hurry Curry is a staple in my kitchen because it can be made quickly, easily and always hits the spot. When I’m tired or not feeling creative this is one of my go-to meals. And I keep it from getting boring by switching up the veggies and protein in the […]
High protein muffins
A great travel food It’s much easier to eat well when I’m home in my usual routine. But out in the world, healthy choices become scarce, especially when flying. Airport food is terrible, unhealthy and expensive. Airplane food is limited to processed snacks or gluten-full sandwiches. That’s why when I travel I equip myself with […]
Probiotic apple chia fruit leather
A SUPer HEALTHY on the go snack This fruit leather is as healthy as it is tasty. I got the idea from my neighbor who brought over a version of this treat made with non fermented apple sauce. It was beyond delicious, the sweetness, the crunch with a touch of savory from the olive oil. […]

Spicy egg and seaweed wrap
Egg and seaweed wrap I used my dehydrator to make this unique wrap. Dehydrators are super handy for making Paleo snacks like fruit leather, meat jerky or fish jerky. And this crazy invention too. If you don’t have a dehydrator you can make this on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet (with a rim) and cooking […]
Curried coconut cauliflower soup VIDEO premier
Want a bird’s eye view of HoW I COOk? I used to hate any kind of broth and most soups. The only ones soups I could eat were made with fatty cream or cheese. A lot has changed. I am dairy free these days and I am starting to really like soups. It is the […]
Flourless cashew cookies
Cashew Curious I’ve been curious if cookies baked out nothing but nut butter and eggs would stick together and come out like cookies. So I finally put it to the test.
