BLT Caesar salad & my favorite Paleo croutons
Welcome to my salad heaven Caesar’s salad is my favorite salad. I always order it when I go out to eat. But when you eat out you never know what you are getting. Traditionally Ceasar is made with olive oil but some places use an inflammatory oil like canola or canola mayo because it’s cheaper. […]
Cauliflower rice pudding and other veggie desserts
Cauliflower rice pudding You may know that cauliflower is the Paleo replacement for rice. I’ve made lots of savory Paleo dishes with cauliflower rice like stirfries, sushi, curry and pizza. But one of my favorite non Paleo desserts is rice pudding. If you think like me then you too would try to make dessert out of […]
Sriracha cole slaw with homemade mayo
Spicy Napa cabbage coleslaw: a new SPIN on A CLASSIC SALAD Mayonnaise was the last non-Paleo food I gave up when transitioning back to Paleo. Before that I ate Vegenaise made with grapeseed oil because I thought it was healthy. Then I discovered that even grapeseed oil was inflammatory. This blew my mind. I knew […]
Pizza egg bake
Italian-style eggs with Tuna I love easy egg dishes, but they can get boring. That’s why when I came across this Italian-style dish in the 2010 Food and Wine Cookbook, I was excited to try it. Until this past year, I had never used cookbooks. This one was a gift that sat languishing on my […]
Paleo yuca bread
Have you tried yuca or cassava? Yuca (also called cassava) is similar in color, taste and texture to the potato, but is thinner and has a hard, dark brown peel. It’s as popular in Latin America as the potato is in the U.S. I’ve eaten thick-cut yuca fries at my favorite Peruvian restaurant. Yum. Then […]
Two no-bake pie crust ideas
Coconut butter pie crust I’ve been wanting to make Paleo pie lately but been imagining the difficulty of working with and rolling out grain-free crust. Then I had the idea for two unusual and super easy solutions. Coconut butter and coconut crepe wraps! This is the coconut butter version below. One of my favorite Paleo […]
Paleo drinks
Paleo Drinks that delight & refresh without added sugar If you’ve been following a Paleo lifestyle and reading food labels you may have noticed that most commercial beverages are loaded with sugar. Even juice is off limits because of the high sugar content. So what the heck do you drink? Especially in the summer months […]
Paleo fried calamari
Recreating a healthy version of Fried Calamari at home. My favorite 5 non Paleo foods are Caesars salad, hamburgers, fries, pizza and fried calamari. I’ve played with paleo-izing pizza here. I’ve made my own unfried fries here. My homemade burgers have been served with both Paleo buns and veggie buns. And I’ve even made my […]
Oxtail & romaine stir fry
Stir-fried lettuce?? I would have never thought to stir fry lettuce until years ago, on a camping trip, my friend Eric made some sauteed ice berg lettuce over the camp fire in a large pan. It’s true that food seems to taste better when camping, but I was impressed with this lettuce dish. Despite how […]
