Yes. Yes...this one is a little more expensive than some of the other new paleo recipes I've shared in this series...because well, salmon is just more expensive. But, it's crazy delicious and only calls for a few ingredients! And I really wanted to share it with you! Treat yourself with this one sometime! Add salt and pepper and red curry paste to the salmon … [Read more...]
Paleo Moroccan Chicken
Holy flavor-wow! Who knew that these common pantry staples could transform chicken into a divine masterpiece! There is absolutely nothing expensive about any of these ingredients. Nothing at all. You might have most of them on hand right now. (Except maybe sugar-free raisins/currants. If you aren't strict Paleo, you can use regular raisins.) The cinnamon. The cumin. … [Read more...]
Bacon Burger Lettuce Wraps
If you look at enough Paleo recipes or Paleo websites, you'll start to see a theme. A bacon theme. This is my own observation and assumption, but Paleo peeps are obsessed with bacon. I've got no problem with that, because I'm obsessed with bacon, too. When I was sketching up the new recipes that I'd share this month as part of the 31 Days of Budget-Friendly Paleo recipes, … [Read more...]
Firecracker Pork Chops
Yes, yes, yes...we have another 31 Days series for you this May! (Can you believe it's May already? I know I say that at the start of every month, but it feels like April Fool's Day was yesterday.) I started our 31 Days series this very day, one year ago with the 31 Days of Gluten Free recipes. I had no clue that you'd love them as much as you do...which is why we … [Read more...]
Black Bean & Sweet Potato Dip
We're coming up on the spring time of the year when sweet potatoes go on sale for a short window of time, dredging up memories of autumn that have been all but covered by mounds of snow. And these same awesome sweet potatoes remind us that the beauty of spring is here to revive us again. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to use baked sweet potatoes in an enchilada-inspired … [Read more...]
Thai Chicken Bake
I recently shared how I wanted to rekindle my romance with Thai food after enjoying some Thai take-out when I was visiting my sister a few months back...except it is super expensive to go out for Thai food regularly, so instead I'm making it at home more. I put together a Chicken Pineapple Curry that you cook on the stovetop, and decided a similar baked version was in … [Read more...]
Lemon Steamed Broccoli
If you're planning on having broccoli at your Easter dinner, I beg of you to make it like this. All you need (besides the broccoli!) is 2 lemons. It'll work with 1 lemon, but 2 is just right. It's super simple...you squeeze some of the lemon into the water that will steam the broccoli. Then you add zest from the lemons in with the broccoli heads while it's steaming. It's … [Read more...]
Potato Pancake with Refried Beans
Many years ago, on my first trip to Europe, my in-laws took me to a restaurant built around potatoes. Everything had potatoes. That one experience opened my eyes to what potatoes can do. And I've since experimented, but never as much as I wished. Potato pancakes are such an easy workhorse. You can put almost anything sweet or savory on top of them. If you're looking for … [Read more...]
Vegetarian Bean & Corn with Salsa Soup
Last winter, I made this soup nearly every other day because it's THAT good. So easy and healthy and yummy! Because everything is already cooked, the heating option depends on the time you have before dinner. It heats in the microwave, on the stove, or in a slow cooker. It's so versatile, you can serve it with quesadillas, rice or just about anything else. One … [Read more...]
Chunky Cucumber Salsa
With half of the country basically buried in snow, I thought I'd share a bright and tasty dip with you this week. Spring is coming...it really is! I know that's hard for my northern friends to believe that, but it really will come! This fantastic clean eating, paleo/whole30 friendly recipe for chunky cucumber salsa will bring a burst of flavor and freshness to your taste … [Read more...]
