Paleo Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms have always been one of my favorite appetizers, but most recipes use gluten-filled breadcrumbs and lots of dairy. Delicious, but not compatible with a paleo eating template. Crab cakes are another favorite of mine but the paleo-versions of them just don’t hold together very well. And if  you try to make them without […]

Paleo Beef Stew with Turnips and Greens

  I am so honored to be the guest blogger on Stupid Easy Paleo this week! I’ve been following Steph’s blog since the beginning of my paleo journey and love her no-nonsense style, her dedication to real food, and her tasty recipes. The Paleo diet has tremendous healing properties for people with autoimmune diseases, especially […]

Paleo “Peanut Butter” Cups (Grain Free, Nut Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free)

I know… there is no such thing as paleo peanut butter cups. But this recipe is a very close approximation of the original and just as delicious! Peanut butter was the last thing I gave up before I went 100% paleo. I had decided to do it, but there was still 1/3 of a jar […]

Sweet and Sour Paleo Meatballs

In my pre-paleo days, my favorite family recipe for cocktail meatballs was one of those three ingredient wonders. Sounds nice and simple, until you realize that each one of those three ingredients (a can of cranberry sauce, a bottle of chili sauce, and frozen meatballs) contained an alphabet soup jumble of chemical and artificial ingredients. […]

Chili Spiced Mango Paleo Chicken Wings

When I started planning my first paleo party, I knew one thing had to be on the menu. Paleo chicken wings! My husband is one of those “the hotter, the better” people and I was on board with that too, provided I could drown my extra-hot wings in blue cheese dressing. But now that I’ve […]

Cranberry Coconut Paleo Treats (Grain Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free)

These cranberry coconut treats are not only paleo, they are also made without nuts or eggs so they are compliant with the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) as well! I love holiday baking. In previous years I started making Christmas cookies right after Thanksgiving, stashing them in the freezer to later be assembled into gift tins […]

Double Trouble Paleo Chocolate Cookies (Grain Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free)

These paleo chocolate cookies meet the technical criteria to be considered “paleo” but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking they are healthy! They are  grain free and dairy free, but they are definitely treats and should be eaten in moderation. Key phrase there: should be. I had every intention of spreading my consumption of these […]

Healing Diet for Crohn’s Disease: The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)

This post is the first in a series I plan that will review healing diets for Crohn’s disease. I started with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ (SCD) because it is the first one I tried myself. Look for future posts on paleo, autoimmune paleo (AIP), Perfect Health Diet, and others that I have not tried. If you’ve […]

Not Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Grain Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free)

Did you know today is National Cookie Day? I didn’t either, until I posted a photo of these paleo friendly naturally sweetened “faux-oatmeal” raisin cookies on Instagram and one of my followers told me so. In that case, this seems like a perfect day to post my first ever cookie recipe to the blog! There […]
