With the right toppings and dressing, a Cobb salad can be very Paleo friendly. This is a salad that I ate often during my 'Whole 30/Paleo' month back in December. It's packed with protein, very filling and will hold you even through an afternoon snack. It holds a little sweet from the apples (or pears), a little salty from the bacon, some crunch from the celery and walnuts … [Read more...]
Frittata with Broccoli & Caramelized Onions
Frittatas seem to be another popular Paleo type of recipe. Reason being, they are naturally free of grains (usually!) and you can throw just about any kind of veggies in with the eggs and you've got a delicious meal. I've made frittatas with Sweet Potato & Zucchini, with Bacon, "Lettuce" and Tomato. Frittatas are so versatile and so delicious. And super easy to … [Read more...]
Mango, Strawberry Green Smoothie
How often do you drink smoothies? Do you ever drink green smoothies? If not, you are missing out! Our entire family loves green smoothies an we are plowing through all the Make-Ahead Smoothie Packs that I made as part of the 85 Breakfasts & Snacks from Costco for $150 meal plan. Just last night, Cuatro (2 years old) pulled me into the laundry room...where I thought he … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Mango Chicken
This dish just screams summer to me. It's partly the zucchini, partly the mango...and partly the slow cooker. I love to slow cook in the summer because slow cooker release way, way, way less heat into your kitchen than turning on the oven or cooking this in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. And if you don't want any heat at all seeping into your kitchen on hot summer evenings, … [Read more...]
Paleo Chili with Carrots and Zucchini
Hearty, hearty, hearty! If you have ever completely cut grains from your diet, you'll know that just this bowl will fill you right up. It's backwards and doesn't make sense, but omitting grains makes you feel fuller, faster. (I didn't believe it when I read about that, until I did an 'all-in Whole 30' challenge back in December.) This chili is so refreshing and somehow … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Sauce
Here, take this spoon. And reach through the screen and have a bite. Warm, perfectly sweetened peanut butter sauce, piled onto a homemade chocolate cake (with a secret ingredient!) I share this with you because I love you...and I want you to treat yourself to this ridiculously tasty slow cooker dessert. *mwah* P.S. The secret ingredient isn't really that … [Read more...]
Chicken Pineapple Curry
If you've been around the site long enough, you might be sick of this recipe. But I'm not ;) I really hope you'll give this coconutty-curry a try! Curry recipes are common among Paleo peeps because you can make an amazing sauce using coconut milk and some ridiculously amazing spices. Also, the sweet pineapples complement the spicy spices beautifully. You can completely … [Read more...]
Bacon-Ranch Meatloaf
Bacon. Yes, again. It feels like just about every other Paleo recipe that I've ever seen has bacon in it. Even the dessert recipes. (Well, maybe not the desserts...but I have seen bacon laced cupcakes before! Can't decide how I feel about those!) This is an outstanding meatloaf. It's loaded with bacon (both inside and on top) and the lovely flavors of ranch dressing mixed … [Read more...]

BLT Frittata
(Yes, there is cheese in the pict...but you'll just omit that if you're Paleo!) Here's more bacon!!! (And there's more to come tomorrow!) I'm not going to tell you to put regular lettuce into a frittata (because, blech!), but I will tell you that sauteed spinach in place of lettuce in the BLT combo is fantastical. Fresh or canned tomatoes plus sauteed spinach plus … [Read more...]
