I first tried Stuffed Acorn Squash a few years ago at Hu Kitchen in NYC, and recently decided to create my own spin on it because I find it to be a super delicious, healthy comfort food. Acorn squash is a good source of healthy carbs and contains an array of nutrients. I stuffed my acorn squash with grass fed ground beef (which is a great source of essential omega 3 fatty acids + protein), coconut milk (healthy fat), Kettle…
Meat sauce with noodles was always one of my favorite dinners growing up. Now, sometimes I’ll eat it with gluten-free rice noodles and other times I’ll use a veggie noodle, like in this recipe. You can use a spiralizer to turn any veggie into noodles! For this recipe I used butternut squash, but you can use zucchini or sweet potato if you’d prefer. If you buy all pre-chopped vegetables like I did, this recipe is super quick & easy –…
Who needs Taco Bell when you can make these grain free tacos super quick AND not feel like you just died after you’re done eating?! I love Mexican food and I’m completely addicted to Siete Almond Flour Tortillas, so, naturally, I was excited to make some grain free tacos now that I don’t eat corn or flour tortillas anymore. I used Flavorgod Everything seasoning to whip these up quickly, and they were a big hit with my family. Betcha can’t wait…
Lasagna was one of my all-time favorites growing up- and it’s still one of my favorites. Since going paleo, lasagna is something I very, veryyyy rarely eat. I don’t do well at all when I eat wheat, but I always loved pasta. When I discovered Cappello’s it was a game-changer. Now I can enjoy grain-free pasta?? What?! I held off on trying Cappello’s for a long time (despite all the good reviews) because they didn’t sell it at stores…
This recipe is based off one of my favorite dinners growing up that my mom would make. She called it “Slop” and it consisted of egg noodles, ground beef, American cheese, onions, peppers, and brown gravy from a jar. I wanted to make a healthier version of one of my childhood favorites that I had been missing. I replaced the egg noodles with Cappello’s fettuccine (you can also use paleocupboard.com’s pasta recipe) and the American cheese with grass-fed gouda…
I haven’t eaten a rice ball in years. Even before paleo I only ate them on occasion because I would normally just get pizza when I went to the pizzeria. Rice is a food I’ve always loved, but have only eaten it very rarely since starting my paleo lifestyle. My cousin gave me the idea to make a paleo version of Italian style rice balls and I thought that was an awesome idea. If you can’t tolerate dairy, you can…
So this is the first week of the Nutritional Therapy Consultant program that I am taking through the Nutritional Therapy Association! I am eager to learn more about nutrition and real food so I can help people heal themselves with food. It’s going to be hard work going through the program while working full time but it’s totally worth it. Paleo changed my life so much and I can’t wait to start helping other people change their lives with paleo!…
Beef stew is a traditional winter meal. It’s warm and comforting and simple. I added more vegetables and used sweet potato to make it hearty and healthy. This is perfect to make in the morning and come home without having to make a side dish since it’s already full of vegetables. It’s a convenient, one-pot meal. I like to make this when I need time in the evening to get other stuff done. Easy- *** Fast- * (****) Spicy-…
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 bought pre-cut asparagus, mushrooms, and kale, so that made this recipe even easier and faster for me. This meal takes about 40 minutes from start to finish. This is a simple meal, that tastes good and is satisfying. It is strict paleo and good for busy nights. Ingredients: 1-2 tbsp bacon fat 1 lb grass fed ground beef 5 pieces asparagus, chopped 5 sliced mushrooms 3-4 cups chopped kale 2 minced garlic cloves 1 tsp onion…
