Gutsy By Nature
St. Patrick’s Day falls on a work day this year which makes preparing a traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner hard because you probably don’t have 4-5 hours to let it all simmer gently. This is a challenge that has InstantPot’s name written all over it! What is an InstantPot? From the manufacturer’s website… “With multiple sensors and a […]
My husband has been working to perfect this bolognese sauce for a long time and it broke his heart when I told him I was going on the autoimmune paleo protocol (AIP) last year and couldn’t eat either noodles or tomatoes! So we put our heads together and came up with a way to make […]
I am in love with a kitchen appliance and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I feel like an infomercial when I talk about it (It sautes! It steams! It’s a pressure cooker! It’s a slow cooker! And that’s not all… It even makes yogurt!). And I am not lying when I say that I […]
It has been well established that paleo meatballs do not NEED a binder like bread or breadcrumbs to hold their shape. Recipes for grain free and dairy free meatballs can be found and most of them taste really good. But they still lack a certain authenticity, a softness, a “meatball-iness.” Or rather, they are heavy on the “meat” […]
This recipe for garlic and rosemary roast beef is dead simple to make and so tasty! I used grass-fed sirloin tip roast, but you could make this with any of the lean cuts that tend to be tough if not handled properly, including rump roast, cross-rib roasts, sirloin roasts, and top round. The basic template […]
Yuca. (Or is it “yucca”?) Also known as manioc, cassava, or tapioca. This root vegetable is a major staple food for more than half a billion people in the developing world – yet it was completely foreign to me until I began seeing paleo yuca recipes that used it for miraculous things like crisp flatbreads and egg […]
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 […]
This paleo version of carne asada is a great way to prepare flank steak, one of my favorite cuts of grass fed meat, and when we had a warm early spring day last week I thought it was a great excuse to break out the grill! Though gringos like myself may think it refers to […]
Fancy pants bacon wrapped filet mignon is not an every day sort of dish in the Gutsy By Nature house, but we get a couple packages of it with our grassfed beef share and enjoy the special treat very much. I have tried preparing it in a few different ways and have combined the best […]
