This frittata makes a fabulous dinner, but honestly, I love it even more for breakfast. After my workouts, I’ve warmed up a slice and covered it with avocados, a spoonful of paleo Ranch Dressing, and a big squirt of hot sauce. That frittata lasted me all week. Prep...
Chorizo Frittata with Roasted Chillies
I like to use a mixture of poblano and Anaheim chillies in this. Poblano peppers are rather unpredictable and can either be incredibly mild or hot like jalapeños. If your chorizo is on the spicy side, taste the peppers first! If you have trouble finding fresh peppers,...
Breakfast Sausage Hash–Stuffed Acorn Squash
We received the most delicious breakfast sausage with our pork share from a local pig farmer a while back and we were thrilled with it. Good sausage really makes the best hash, in my opinion. Preservative-free bulk sausage can be difficult to find, so you can also use...
Supreme Pizza Ragu
What do you get if you take away all of the non-paleo components of pizza? Meat, vegetables, and pizza sauce. So—a pretty spectacular ragu. You can substitute any of your favorite pizza toppings if you like. Prep time 15 minutesServes 8 2 pounds (905 g) uncooked sweet...
Chorizo, Kale, and Potatoes with Garlic-Chipotle Aioli
When I was testing this recipe, my husband, Steve, sauntered over to the slow cooker, served himself a small bowl of chorizo and vegetables, and started eating. His assessment was that it was “pretty good.” I urged him to top it with a drizzle of the garlic-chipotle...
Sweet Potato Lasagna with Kale and Pancetta
Thinly sliced sweet potatoes are a healthier alternative to lasagna noodles. If you have a mandolin slicer, slicing uniform sweet potato “noodles” is a breeze. White sweet potatoes are a bit starchier than orange sweet potatoes and hold up better during cooking. If...
Hot and Sweet Orange Pulled Pork
This pulled pork is covered in an orangey-sweet hot sauce that reminds me of the coating on Asian orange chicken. Many cayenne pepper sauces are paleo friendly, and it’s always exciting to find commercially-made condiments that are clean! It’s one less thing you have...
Pork Carnitas
One thing I love about Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is how most dishes basically have the same ingredients, just rearranged and proportioned differently. If you have a few basics, like some flavorful, tender meat, a couple heads of lettuce, a handful of avocados,...
Shredded Enchilada Pork
I love this saucy, tender pile of pork. It needs no salsa or special toppings. It’s good as is, over a heap of Southwest Cabbage Slaw, or wrapped with a Paleo Tortilla. You may want to serve this with a little Simple Guacamole, because everything is better with guac....
Sweet Jalapeño-Pineapple Pulled Pork
Here’s another take on sweet pulled pork with a Tex-Mex flair. Pineapple and honey are such great complements to the pork and the jalapeños. If you have a lot of meat left, you can transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for a later meal. (Psst—all of the...
