Oh the weather outside is frightful – but this SOUP is so delightful! I’ve repeatedly expressed my deep love for all things soup before, so here is another Paleo-Friendly recipe that is quick, easy, and most importantly uses my Vitamix (aka my new favorite toy!). If you don’t have one, fret not, an immersion blender or a good old-fashioned blender will do the trick.
Read on for the back-story on this deliciousness! (more…)

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Spaghetti Squash
Dear Pasta,
Why are you so delicious? There’s something so lovely about a giant bowl of spaghetti and meatballs that melts my heart in a special cheesy melty way. Despite your deliciousness, I know that you make me fat and lethargic – not to mention a stomach ache. You’re one of the first things I missed when I went Paleo. But I must admit, pasta m’dear, that I’ve found someone new. It’ll never be as delicious as you, but I know in the long run we’ll be much better together. It’s name? Oh, let’s not let this get ugly. [Spaghetti: TELL ME IT’S NAME!!] OKAY! It’s spaghetti squash. I’ve left you for spaghetti squash.

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Cauliflower and Celery Root Soup
Happy Wednesday! Hopefully your week is going as well as mine! We are officially in the transition from fall to winter and the best remedy for chilly feet and cold hands is a decadent bowl of soup! I could eat soup all year round, but there is something so satisfying about curling up with a soft blanket and having soup from a fancy little bowl.
This recipe is one of my new favorites. Not only is it Paleo friendly, but it is gluten-free and dairy-free! It’s quick and easy too! (more…)
Paleo-Friendly Meals: Antipasto Salad
***edit: I am so sorry everyone but I screwed up and accidentally deleted the pictures to this post. I am going to make this again in the future, and I promise to upload the step-by-step pictures again! Sorry!***
I don’t particularly love salad. I want something of substance that I don’t have to eat delicately with a fork and knife. Paleo Kings and Queens love to tout the BAS (big-ass salad) as an integral part of their diets. Are they full of veggies? Yes. Do they travel well? Yes. Are they easy to prepare? Of course. I still don’t love salad. See below for exhibit A:

Hello, hello. It’s good to be back. I know my posts have been inconsistent lately, but I am trying to make time to write here, even if it’s only a recipe or two. I miss having too much time on my hands. These days I’m always running, always tired, always late for something. So today I give you a wonderful lunch idea – something quick and simple – something even a picky eater would love!
This is one of my favorite Paleo-friendly finds because its easy, inexpensive, and travels well.

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Pork Meatballs
Happy Monday and more importantly happy Labor Day! To those of you who have to work, I’m sorry. I had those jobs before and frankly, it sucks. Even though I am just hanging around the house today, I am keeping busy by flexing my domestic goddess muscles and prepping lunches for the rest of the week. I usually scour the interwebs to find my next Paleo lunch idea and the following image always inspires awe.

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Veggie Detox Soup
Summer is coming to an end and in a strike of irony, I feel the need to start cutting back my cheating in anticipation of autumn’s approach. While most people are going crazy to maintain their summer beach bodies and eating less, my summer is defined by cheat days down at the boardwalk indulging in all that is fried and covered in cheese.

Paleo-Friendly Meals: Enchilada Sauce
I love condiments. They have saved many a dish and helped me to get through tired meals. One can really only eat chicken so much, so here’s a fab Paleo-friendly recipe for flavorful enchilada sauce. It goes deliciously with my taco chicken!
Paleo-Friendly Meals: Homemade Chicken Stock (AKA nothing goes to waste!)
Waste not want not, right? My last recipe called for a whole chicken which is not only cheaper, but incredibly easy to cook. Since I butterflied the chicken, I cut out the spine and set aside the “brown bag of scariness” to use later. So what to do with the extras? Toss? NO. Compost? Nah. Save them for chicken stock? GOT IT.
