The day I created my Paleo English Muffins was the day I knew I wanted to make sloppy Joes, only Paleo-ized! Because, let’s face it—while a hamburger without a bun is fine, a Sloppy Joe without a bun is just a pile of saucy meat: tasty, but far from memorable. So, if...
South of the border stuffed acorn squash
There are so many great things about this recipe. For one, stuffing with the turkey adds a pack of protein to each of these, so essentially you are creating a full meal with just one stuffed squash. Secondly, taking a Southwestern twist on this is just one way to...
Tacos de lengua
This authentic Mexican dish is simply amazing. Some cultures consider the tongue a delicacy. One bite into the tasty meat and you’ll know why. The meat is fatty and fine textured like pot roast and you can get them at many markets nowadays. Obviously we would prefer...

Collard greens
This tasty and nutrient-dense Southern side is one that we enjoy throughout the fall. It’s no surprise that collard greens are such a staple for New Year’s Day. I remember Mom saying that eating collards on New Year's Day would bring you money all year long. That may...
Grilled veggies
These go well with just about anything, and are a great way to use all the fresh vegetables from our garden in the summertime. If you have a large crowd coming over, double or triple your recipe and consider serving the veggies whole. These keep extremely well in the...
Basic bread loaf
Bread and paleo don’t really go together. But every once in a while—like the one time I've been sick since going paleo— toast just sounded good. Here’s a recipe for those times that you’re wanting a comforting slice of toast but without some of the irritation from a...
Nut butter
There is a kind of guilt to publishing recipes like these. They are so incredibly simple. I do remember the very first time Julie told me how to make nut butter. I think I checked on it about 17 times to make sure it was OK. Really folks . . . just walk away for 5–10...
