Gutsy By Nature
Bok choy (also spelled “bok choi” or “pak choi”) is a such a contradictory, complex, and delicious vegetable. When cooked properly, the stalks are creamy and have an underlying sweetness while the darker green leaves have an earthy flavor similar to chard or spinach. A member of the cabbage family, bok choy is a staple […]
I don’t get cravings for food from my pre-paleo days very often, but every once in a while I get a hankering and this recipe for garlic and ginger beef with broccoli is the result of my recent nostalgia for Chinese takeout. And like most home cooked meals, it is actually far superior in taste […]
Yet another winter storm and “polar vortex” is headed our way, so I’m dreaming of summer and tropical vacations! This recipe for a very simple shrimp and avocado ceviche is my answer to that longing. It literally took 5 minutes to throw together and except for the shrimp, all of the ingredients were things I […]
I was raised on a mostly meat and potatoes diet, but lamb wasn’t one of the meats in the rotation. It wasn’t until I was in my 20s that I first tried lamb and I must admit it wasn’t love at first bite. For the next 15 or so years I simply avoided it. But […]
Whole perfect roast chicken is a paradox, isn’t it? It looks impressive and intimidates cooking newbies. If done correctly it tastes amazing, yet it couldn’t be easier to prepare – just a tiny bit of prepping and then you stick it in the oven and ignore it. The less you do to it, the better […]
These marinated olives are a pretty addition to a spread of party food and offer a nicely complex flavor contrast to the usual other finger foods. They fit it into pretty much anyone’s diet, whether it be paleo or vegan or low-carb, and work nicely with most healing diets with just basic modifications. And as […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
