Happy New Year! My New Years resolution this year is to watch less TV and get more work done. Starting next month I will be starting my education to become a Nutritional Therapy Consultant! I could not be more excited! Ever since paleo changed my life, I have become so passionate about it. I really wanted to make a career out of it and educate people on the importance of eating real food, so I looked into programs that would…
I ate so much for Christmas Eve and Christmas, and it was all not paleo. I, of course, felt so sick afterwards. My body is now craving super light, clean foods. I am also strongly considering doing the 21 day sugar detox starting on January 5th. I think my body could use a detox. Anyway, I made some turkey meatballs to recover from the holiday damage I did to my body. It’s been a few days since Christmas, but I’m…
I love potatoes. And brussels sprouts. I really love pretty much all foods. This side dish combines starch and veggies to make what I like to call The Ultimate Side Dish. This will go with anything and is even better with chopped bacon mixed in. Use a food processor to do your chopping for you and save on time. Easy- **** Fast- **** Spicy- no Ingredients: 3-4 red potatoes, chopped 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves,…
I truly love the flavor of the onion family. I recently bought dried chives and dried minced onions. I wanted to roast the cauliflower differently than I normally do, so I thought it would be perfect to use my new spices. This is very easy to make and a great versatile side dish. It tastes amazing and if you’re serving to non-paleo guests it would be great with some grass-fed cheese and bacon mixed in. Easy- ***** Fast- ****…
If I’m being totally honest here, I got the idea to add butter to my sauce from watching the Showtime show Episodes with Matt LeBlanc. His character makes his red sauce with butter, and I thought that probably tastes amazing and since grass-fed butter is great for your health, I gave it a try. This recipe is extremely easy to make and requires virtually no skill. Most of my recipes are easy like that because I am not a natural-born…
So, it’s getting really cold outside now, which I hate. I can’t deal with the winter. I would really love to move to the west coast, like San Diego, California. That would be awesome. Anyway, when the weather gets colder I tend to make a lot more crockpot meals. Before I was paleo, I used to go out to Japanese hibatchi restaurants and get beef with the mustard dipping sauce. Since then, I like to eat mustard with beef. I…
I used to always roast my potatoes with olive oil. I came across duck fat while food shopping one day & decided to try using it on my potatoes instead of olive oil. They came out fantastic and I never used olive oil again! Everyone I have made these for has become obsessed as well. This recipe is so easy and perfect for serving to non-paleo guests! Some argue that only sweet potatoes are allowed on paleo, but that is…
This is a great side dish to serve for Thanksgiving dinner! This dish goes very well with turkey & potatoes. The bacon fat gives it the perfect flavor. This is a comforting dish that is super delicious & healthy! Look for packs of shaved brussels sprouts; if you cannot find this you can chop up brussels sprouts in the food processor. This dish can be made in less than 20 minutes and is strict paleo as well. I am serving…
This recipe is super simple to make. I used organic canned sweet potato puree to make it even easier and quicker. I mixed everything in the food processor so that it would be mixed really well and to make it easier. My sweet potato puree was a bit watery so I had to add in a few extra teaspoons of coconut flour. From start to finish it took me about 50 minutes for these. These were very good. I made…
This recipe took me about an hour from start to finish. It was definitely an easy and stress-free meal. I bought zucchini that was already made into noodles in a store by me, so that made it even simpler. This meal is strict paleo and was definitely enjoyable for me and my family. I personally don’t think this would go over great with non-paleo guests, as they would probably prefer it be served with wheat noodles, but I didn’t try…
