BAKED SWEET POTATOES Baking a sweet potato is one of the easiest ways you can prepare the tough root vegetable—it may take an hour, but all you do is pop it in the oven and set a timer. I love making them as a side for dinner, so long as I remember that I had planned...
PERFECT SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS I make these at least once a week, as my husband and I both really enjoy them. The secret is butter and pretty high heat, in a skillet that’s large enough to have mostly one layer of mushrooms so you aren’t steaming them. “Don’t crowd the...
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...

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...
