PANTRY BASIC - KETCHUP I don’t use ketchup very often, but when you’re eating something that really needs it, it can be difficult to ignore ready-made packets or bottles of ketchup, which are pretty high in added sugar. This Paleo ketchup recipe is a bit on the tart...
MUSHROOM AND SAUSAGE STUFFING My mom made this stuffing for our first Paleo Thanksgiving. I remember being really hesitant about it, wondering what in the world Thanksgiving might be like without creamy mashed potatoes and bread stuffing. It may be different, but it’s...
BUTTON MUSHROOM CEVICHE This recipe was inspired by two completely different things: first, a trip I took to Miami where I ate almost nothing but ceviche for three whole days, and second, those little marinated, almost-pickled mushrooms you sometimes find in olive...
SQUASH NOODLES IN WALNUT-SAGE BUTTER This is a super easy and really luxurious recipe. The combination of fresh sage and walnuts in a simple butter sauce is a winner. SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 10 minutes 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter 1 small shallot,...
ROASTED SQUASH WITH CINNAMON Roasted squash has a lovely sweet quality to it, so it only makes sense to accent that with a drizzle of maple syrup and some cinnamon. This recipe is wonderful around Thanksgiving, maybe with roasted turkey or a ham, but it’s great...
STUFFED BRUSSELS SPROUTS I think Brussels sprouts are the perfect vegetable for entertaining—you can do so much with them, and you don’t need a ton of ingredients to make them delicious. These little stuffed Brussels sprouts make a fantastic appetizer or side dish,...
SPICY ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS This is my version of the Red Hot Brussels Sprouts I mentioned in the Bacon Brussels Sprouts recipe (here). It’s probably my favorite way to eat Brussels sprouts, and they make a great side dish for any number of entrées or just as a...
ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUT SKEWERS These Brussels sprout skewers are a great party vegetable because you can make them ahead of time and then roast (or even grill them, if you’re cooking out) right before serving the rest of the food. They do take 30 to 40 minutes to...
PANTRY BASIC - CHIMICHURRI Chimichurri is fabulous on a big juicy flank steak, but it’s also fantastic on eggs. If you’re a fan of garlic and fresh green herbs, you’re going to love it—and it’s really good on almost everything, not just steak and eggs. Make it before...
GINGER-GARLIC BRUSSELS SPROUT STIR-FRY This recipe combines my two favorite things: sautéed Brussels sprouts and Asian flavors. You could make these in the oven, but I prefer pan-frying them with lots of ghee—I’ve found that to be the best way to get them extra...
BACON BRUSSELS SPROUTS Any time I go to a new restaurant and there are Brussels sprouts on the menu, I make sure to order them—they’re my favorite vegetable, and I really enjoy encountering new flavor combinations. One of the best I’ve ever had is the Red Hot Brussels...
ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD This refreshing salad is a great option if you’re craving Asian food but don’t want to order takeout. The hot, tangy, gingery dressing goes wonderfully with the sprouts and mandarin oranges, but since it’s a salad, it makes a lovely side...
