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,...
This is a two-part meal in one pot! Cooking the parchment-wrapped fish over a bed of potatoes makes for easy clean up, and cutting slits in the bottom of the parchment allows the herbs and juices to season the potatoes, too. Prep time 20 minutesServes 6 2 pounds (905...
Lamb korma usually has chunks of meat, but this version has tender shreds of lamb. I prefer shredded meat over larger pieces, because more of it is covered in whatever sauce or gravy it’s cooked in. And let’s face it—the sauce is the best part. For some extra fabulous...
Meatballs are usually paired with a heavy sauce, but I love the addition of an herby vinaigrette to lighten the lamb’s strong flavor. The lamb also holds up well to the garlic slivers scattered throughout the meatballs—my favorite parts. Prep time 25 minutesMakes 24...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
