Gutsy By Nature
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 […]
Are you new to paleo or doing a Whole30? Do you want to cut sugar cravings? Get your nutrition on track? Perhaps you are like me and have been doing paleo for a while but need a nutritional reset after indulging in treats more than you should have over the holidays. If so, I recommend […]
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 […]
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 […]
