This is a Latin spin on spaghetti squash and meatballs, with cilantro-infused meatballs cooked in enchilada sauce. If you have trouble finding paleo-compliant enchilada sauce, make your own: Check out my Easy Enchilada Sauce. Prep time 25 minutesServes 6 For the...
Meatballs, sauce, and “noodles” all in one pot! You could even make a large batch of meatballs and freeze them on a cookie sheet, then divide them into portions in zip-top bags. Throwing a bag of frozen meatballs into a pot with some sauce and a spaghetti squash can...
This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but sometimes the simplest things yield the best results. Choose brats or similar sausages you really like, because they flavor the whole pot. Also, adding a few forkfuls of sauerkraut on each serving is a must! Prep time 10...
There’s a steak and potato salad recipe that is possibly my favorite potato salad. It is dressed in a cilantro chimichurri dressing and mixed with crispy grilled kale. I took these flavors and made a warm version, keeping that bright chimichurri flavor in the cilantro...

Our family used to have Baja-style breaded and fried fish tacos for Christmas dinner—an odd choice, but we had sentimental reasons. This tradition lasted until our kids decided they didn’t like fish tacos very much. I’m grateful for this, because although my husband...
I like to pulverize dried mushrooms in a blender or food processor and add them to spice blends, like the rub for this pot roast. I even added some to the gravy, which made it much richer and more flavorful! Don’t be nervous about the amount of garlic in this recipe;...
