GENERAL TSO’S CAULIFLOWER Whether you participate in Meatless Mondays or just love Asian food (I’m the latter and not so much the former), this spicy-sweet Chinese takeout–inspired cauliflower is going to knock your socks off. At the risk of repeating myself, I love...
GARLIC-ROASTED MASHED CAULIFLOWER I really believe that you could make a great batch of mashed cauliflower and serve it to someone without mentioning what it is, and they would probably assume it was mashed potatoes—that’s how awesome cauliflower is. You can boil it...
CAULIFLOWER TABBOULEH SALAD This salad would be perfect for a light summer dinner—it’s inspired by tabbouleh, which is a grain-based salad that usually has lemon, mint, parsley, cucumbers, and lots of lemon juice. As someone who eats a Paleo diet, I sometimes find...
CAULIFLOWER SOUP This is a great spring soup: It’s pretty quick to make and super flavorful while still being neutral enough that you can add any variations you want. My friend Kristan once made a similar soup that had potatoes in it, which you can do if you aren’t...

CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE Fried rice is still one of my favorite “cheat” meals because it’s relatively easy to make gluten-free, but I was so pleased when I finally perfected a Paleo, grain-free fried “rice.” This one uses cauliflower instead of rice, and coconut aminos...
PANTRY BASIC: BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE If I make a salad and I’m not feeling creative, I’ll just dress it with balsamic vinaigrette—it’s good on everything, and it’s super easy to make. Sometimes I like to add herbs like chopped basil, but this basic recipe is a really...
PANTRY BASIC: RANCH DRESSING There are a few things I didn’t know I really loved until I gave them up, among them muffins, sandwiches, and ranch dressing. My mom, brother, and I came up with this Paleo ranch when we were making Buffalo chicken one night and lamenting...
