Gutsy By Nature
Zucchini cheese. Seriously. Cheese made from zucchini. I kid you not! A couple days ago I happened to see an Instagram post which purported to show non-dairy, nut-free, and soy-free “cheese” made from zucchini. As I am progressing through this month of a paleo reset, I’m realizing that I feel a lot better when I […]
These delicious grilled lamb chops are marinated in a simple paste of mint and lemon with garlic accents and then grilled to medium rare. Grill some vegetables like summer squash and sweet potatoes along with them and you have an easy paleo meal that is also autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly! We’ve been eating more lamb […]
This spiced plum cake was so alluring that my husband couldn’t resist and cut a piece out of it before I could get a good picture of it! I was actually aiming to create paleo plum clafloutis and got pretty close with one attempt, but the extreme juiciness of the plums I was working with […]
This recipe is a riff on the simple Cuban dish called “bistec de palomilla.” It is good, simple home cooking at its finest and turns a cheap cut of meat into something tender and tasty. The featured meat is cube steak, which is one of the cheapest cuts I can get from my local grass […]
The traditional cuisine of Thailand and the paleo style of eating are a match made in heaven and this paleo Thai steak salad is an easy way to create a hearty paleo-friendly dinner entree that is packed with flavor. It is also very easy to modify to make compliant with the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) and […]
It’s strawberry season! We went to our favorite pick-your-own farm last week and as usual, picked way more than we knew what to do with. So I turned to my favorite bloggers and gathered 60 of the best paleo, primal, or gluten-free strawberry recipes out there! Now I’m sharing them with you… I hope you enjoy! NOTE: […]
French onion dip – the kind made by mixing a packet of dried soup mix with some sour cream or yogurt – was my absolute favorite indulgence way back before I embraced a real food, paleo-inspired way of eating. This onion bacon rosemary dip captures the essence of that old favorite and also kicks it […]
If you’ve never had chimichurri sauce made from fresh herbs, plucked just moments before from the herb garden, then you don’t really know what chimichurri sauce is! I first fell in love with this Argentinean sauce when I was a young hipster living in Madison, Wisconsin and one of my favorite night spots (the now […]
Did you know there is a difference between a so-called “meat chicken” and the hens that are bred for egg laying and sometimes sold as “stewing hens” – even among the quality free range, pastured chickens those who follow a nutrient dense paleo style diet are always looking for? I recently learned this lesson when […]
Since we started getting a share of a pasture raised local heritage pig, pork chops have become my favorite meat. They taste amazing prepared simply and can easily be dressed up for company like these pork chops with leek sauce. These pork chops are nothing at all like the lean and dry “other white meat” […]
