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...
PANTRY BASIC PESTO My mom is known for her awesome pesto. We used to have pasta with pesto all the time when I was younger, but now that we’re Paleo we like to serve it on chicken, shrimp, and even salads. The original recipe had Parmesan cheese in it, but we simply...
GINGER-BEET SORBET Sometimes I really need a treat in the middle of the afternoon or after dinner, but finding Paleo-friendly desserts can be tricky. Every now and again, I’ll buy a pint of almond or coconut milk ice cream, but those are still full of sugar and...
BEET HUMMUS I was never a big fan of hummus, so I didn’t feel like I was missing out when I found out that regular hummus isn’t Paleo (chickpeas are a legume, like peanuts, so they aren’t included in the diet). This Paleo hummus is made out of beets, which I love, and...
STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS My grandma Angelica was not much of a cook, but she made a few things that were awesome: arroz con leche, crepes (still referred to as “grandma pancakes” in our family), saltine crackers with butter and sugar (as complicated as it sounds, but...
