Fantastical. Yes, you read that right - FANTASTICAL. It's more than fantastic, so I made up "fantastical." As in...fantastical combination of flavors that coat and steam-cook the salmon in the foil pack. I adore "foil packs" and you will be seeing more of them over the coming weeks and months. They are great for the grill in the summer, but also the oven in the … [Read more...]
Orange Glazed Pork Chops ~ 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
This is the final recipe in our 31 Days of Budget-Friendly Paleo meals series. I can't believe all the great recipes we shared this past month...and I really can't believe how quickly May flew by. I don't know about you, but May always seems to sail by faster than other months...and I only expect it to move faster as the boys get older! Maybe it's the end of school … [Read more...]
Apple & Almond Butter Sandwiches ~ NEW 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
So dipping apples in peanut butter has been a long time snack favorite around here. My older boys will happily dip apples in peanut butter for a protein punch in the afternoon, but neither of them would touch a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a ten foot pole. (I don't get it, but it is what it is.) I decided to 'put it to a test' (albeit, not really a fair test!) to … [Read more...]
Balsamic Beef Roast ~ NEW 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
Ever had one of those days where the fog just wouldn't lift? Perhaps it was because a kiddo was up sick in the middle of the night, or your anxious about an upcoming change or surgery or news from the doctors office? You're tired all day. Not really thinking straight, can't get out of that funk. And then the dreaded 'oh my, what are we going to eat tonight?' thought … [Read more...]
Roasted Maple Mustard Chicken ~ 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
One-dish. One-dish. One-dish. I absolutely, positively, without a doubt adore one-dish dinners. (I even wrote an entire cookbook around one-dish dinners.) They are my sanity savers. They help me through the witching hour. They are easy on the post-meal elbow grease. And this one in particular is T.A.S.T.Y! Chicken, red potatoes and carrots. Add a drizzle of homemade … [Read more...]
Southwestern Frittata ~ NEW 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
When hunting around the Paleo-blog-osphere this past month, I came across many 'no-brainer-I-can-make-these-for-5-bucks' recipes, including this one. Frittatas are great budget-friendly Paleo meals because they use simple ingredients, are heavy on the protein and could work for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a midnight snack. The only main difference between a 'regular' … [Read more...]
Copycat Chipotle Paleo Chicken “Burrito Bowl” ~ NEW 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
When I was doing my Whole30 challenge this past holiday season, the only 'fast food' that I allowed myself to eat one evening was Chipotle and this is what I ordered... Bowl with lettuce. A little vinaigrette. Chicken. Peppers and onions. Guac. And that's all I needed. It probably wasn't 'perfect' as far as ingredient standards for Whole30 go, but it was close … [Read more...]
Steak, Pineapple & Pepper Kebabs ~ NEW 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
Kebabs make for a fantastical summer meal for Paleo-peeps. And they're uber-budget friendly in the summer too because produce is so cheap. I've already started to see the $.50 per bell pepper prices at my store. Have you yet? So...you can/should make these with your favorite cut of steak, cut into kebab-size pieces. Or, if you're like me, you could go with a cheaper cut … [Read more...]
Grilled Citrus Salmon and Tilapia Packets ~ 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
Happy Sunday my friend. I've got a dual recipe here for you...these are both great 'grill packets' with 2 different types of fish infused with some yummy citrus flavors. They are simple to prepare: Drop fish filet into a piece of foil. Add seasoning. Top with slices of citrus fruit (orange, lime, lemon). Grill until cooked through. Serve with favorite side … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Sweet Potato and Chicken Curry ~ 31 Days of Budget Friendly Paleo Recipes
This meal right here just might be the meal that our family has enjoyed more than any other. Including more often than spaghetti and sloppy joes (our other favorites). Why do I make this somewhat random and 'non-traditional' family favorite all the time?! Here's why: It's a one-dish dinner. Meaning the entire meal is all cooked in the same dish/slow cooker. It's a slow … [Read more...]
