STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH HOLLANDAISE Hollandaise is one of my favorite sauces, and probably the reason I order eggs Benedict any time I’m out to brunch. Often, I don’t think to serve it over anything other than a poached egg, but broccoli does a great job holding up to...
BROCCOLI-ARUGULA SALAD WITH BACON I almost always have the ingredients for this simple salad in my refrigerator, but I often forget to throw them all together. Broccoli and cucumber are both such “snacky” vegetables in my mind—I never do much more with them than cut...
BROCCOLI WRAPS This is a more involved recipe that gives you a great lunch option. Broccoli gets blended in the food processor and combined with eggs to make veggie-loaded lunch wraps with which you can wrap up sliced meat (or any filling, really) for a deliciously...
BROCCOLI SLAW This broccoli slaw is a great recipe for your next cookout—it’s a little sweet and a little tangy, and it goes really well as a side to almost anything. You can easily make it ahead of time; in fact, it’s even better if you do—like most slaws, the longer...
SAUSAGE AND KALE SOUP This sausage and kale soup reminds me a lot of Italian Wedding Soup, which I loved as a kid. Italian Wedding Soup consists of flavorful broth, small meatballs, and lots of greens. This soup is similar but comes together a little faster by using...
RAW ZUCCHINI NOODLE–PESTO SALAD I’m not a big fan of the whole hide-the-veggies-so-kids-don’t-know-they’re-eating-it thing, but then again, I don’t have kids, so my opinion is not really important. However, if you can add vegetables to something without altering the...
PANTRY BASIC: BBQ SAUCE BBQ sauce is such a delicious condiment, but it’s usually full of sugar, so my brother (who isn’t Paleo but just loves me a lot and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen) came up with a pretty awesome Paleo-friendly BBQ sauce for us. I think the...
KALE SALAD WITH PECANS AND APPLES Kale seems like it’s too tough to serve raw, but when it’s dressed and massaged a bit (even just with wooden spoons while tossing with dressing), it becomes really tender and stands up well to nuts, fruit, and other salad additions...
KALE SALAD WITH ONION AND AVOCADO I had a salad similar to this one at a place called Oddfellows in Seattle—I had just landed; my friend Kristan picked me up, and we went right to lunch. I was starving and tired from the cross-country trip but so excited to be there...
KALE CHIPS Kale chips are really easy to make, and they’re perfect for when you buy a huge bag of kale at the store and then forget about it until it’s about to wilt and get soggy, so you have to use all of it at once (or is that just me?). You can make these spicy or...
