Lard-Whipped Parsnips with Caramelized Onions (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
I am on a carb crusade these days. There’s no denying how ah-maz-ing they make me feel, how much better I sleep, how much better I tolerate exercise, and how satiated my ravenous breastfeeding self is with carbs multiple times a day! They get such a silly bad rap in the Paleo community. Instead of […]
Paleo Dark Chocolate Covered Wafers (Sugar-Free)
I asked my husband to cook dinner for me tonight and he said Yes! That’s better than telling me I’m special or taking me shoe shopping. How many nights a week do I wish I had a personal chef, I cannot tell you. After 2 1/2 years on an elimination diet and cooking […]
Paleo Stromboli (AIP)
Can you believe these grain-free, dairy-free AIP-friendly & Paleo Stromboli actually have the taste & feel of a gooey, cheesy pizza pocket? The filling possibilities are endless but I really love the simplicity of prosciutto & rosemary. When I first made this recipe over 3 years ago, I had no idea […]
Nightshade-Free "Potato" & Leek Soup (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
I’m on a soup binge these days. Because it’s summer and who doesn’t want to sweat additionally? My first (and last) Texas summer is kicking me in the tush. I have a max outdoor limit of 2-3 hours a day and then the rest of the day requires laying on the couch consuming […]
3-Step Root Vegetable & Leek Soup (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
Summer weather is no excuse to forget about your bone broth! It’s been at least 100 degrees here every day in Austin and will likely never get lower than the high 90’s until October but I’m still craving my at least-every-other-day bowl o’ broth! The more soup I include in my diet, the more […]
Macadamia, Date & Rosemary Crusted Salmon – the best salmon I’ve ever had!
This salmon is absolutely incredible. It is inspired by my popular Bacon-Date Crusted Salmon that you can find here and is also in The Healing Kitchen. It’s just a lovely combination of smokey, sweet, garlicky, herby, buttery salmon deliciousness. If you haven’t made it yet, please go do so! Especially if you are […]
Herbed Shrimp with Dairy-Free Tzatziki (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
This recipe may be one of my all-time best – especially when it comes to how much flavor is packed in such a simple preparation! While I have a delicious dairy-free avocado tzatziki recipe in The Healing Kitchen, I wanted to make a more traditional version to pair with these stellar sauteed shrimp! […]
Crispy Lebanese Chicken (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
Lebanese chicken is my favorite simple childhood meal! It’s usually prepared with just lemon, garlic, sea salt, and maybe some additional spices like oregano, cinnamon or cardamom depending on the grandmother in the kitchen. This version of the recipe combines my favorite chicken thigh preparation a la adding chicken thighs skin side down to […]
Cherry Ginger Lime Smoothie (Paleo/AIP)
Since my husband and I are both home with the baby these days, we often split meals to keep things quick and easy. I’ve actually been cooking MORE since her birth (barring the first few weeks where I don’t even recall eating) to keep us thriving on less than stellar sleep. Mid-morning […]
No Bake Chocolate Pie with Coffee Macadamia Crust (Paleo)
Wowza, two dessert recipes in a row. What’s going on with me!? Oh yeah, breastfeeding hormones and hangriness, lack of sleep, and a dependency on chocolate several times a week to give me an energy and dopamine boost. I ain’t afraid to admit it. Plus I had a large bag of delicious dates staring […]
