My husband and I arrived off the red-eye to stay at my parents' for a long weekend. It was time for breakfast when we arrived home. Moving to a paleo diet can be very foreign to a non-paleo'er so when I pulled out the left overs from my parent's dinner the night before around 9 am my mom was surprised, but happy she had something that we could eat. She had made Autumn Vegetables and Butter Roasted Turkey Breasts. I repurposed them for … [Read more...]
Paleo Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
My sister and I are always swapping recipes and texting photos of our cooking. Some time when I was living in Portland she shared with me a recipe for a pumpkin pie smoothie she read in a running magazine. Unfortunately I don’t often write these things down. I was on a kick for a while and I made it so often I had it memorized. Years later, I just remember it was good. So today after crossfit I made up my own paleo version for breakfast. In … [Read more...]
Thyme Broiled Asparagus
I love the taste of grilled asparagus, but in the dead of winter, if you don't have a grill, or you just want a quicker dish, that doesn't always work so well. This is my go-to recipe for asparagus. … [Read more...]
Crab Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
My husband and I got a gift card to Costco. Well, actually, for his birthday his parents gave him a gift card to shop at Costco. So if by that you mean we got a gift card to Costco, then yeah. Only food people would want a gift like that. "What would you like for your birthday?" … [Read more...]
Lime Basil Shrimp with Spinach and Bell Pepper
A few years ago I was in a doctor’s office somewhere flipping through a magazine. Always looking for cooking inspiration, I stumbled across this recipe. It originally called for tofu as the protein, soy sauce, and was topped with peanuts. At the time, I ate all those things and made it just that way. Pre-iPhone I learned a great trick from my mom: see a recipe you like? Rip the page right out and discreetly stick in in your purse. Thankfully … [Read more...]
Classic “Peanut Butter” Banana Smoothie
Growing up, my mom used to always make a banana smoothie. She'd have it herself all the time in the morning for breakfast. I can't remember … [Read more...]
Quick Italian Chicken with Sun Dried Tomatoes
I love being able to make a delicious lunch without all the hassle, dishes and clean-up of a typical dinner. So making a one-pan lunch is great for me when I want something hot but also quick. I wash one pan when I'm finished cooking. Easy. That and the fact that sun dried tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients inspired today's lunch. … [Read more...]
Classic Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is used in so many things: as a spread, in dressings, dips, marinades, sauces, etc. Making your own mayo is a way to have these items while following a paleo diet. Your standard mayo off the shelf of the grocery store isn't going to be paleo. In mayo, after water the second biggest ingredient is canola oil, which is not paleo … [Read more...]
Herbed Green Bean and Radish Salad
If you are following a clean paleo diet (which means you follow the strictest paleo diet guidelines) you would not eat green beans. They'd be on the "do not fly" list. Green beans are in fact "beans" as their name denotes. Beans are legumes. The paleo diet does not include legumes. … [Read more...]
Summertime Shrimp
There's nothing better in the summer than food that's both light and bursting with fresh flavor. This recipe does not disappoint. Being a big food and food-tv fan, I've seen every season of Top Chef known to man. … [Read more...]
