BROCCOLI SOUP My husband doesn’t like soup all that much so I don’t often make it at home, but this broccoli soup is perfect for whipping up anytime you’re in the mood. It’s kind of a Paleo version of cream of broccoli: just some onions, garlic, lots of broccoli,…
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…
BROCCOLI SALAD I really enjoy rediscovering recipes that I grew up with and realizing that they’re Paleo. My mom used to make this salad whenever we’d have people over for a casual summer party, and even though it wasn’t my favorite as a kid, it’s one of my favorites…
BACON-BROCCOLI BITES These Paleo broccoli “bites” remind me a little bit of tater tots, except that instead of molding them into a tot shape, you simply drop them by the spoonful into a mini-muffin tin. I like them on their own as a snack, but if you’ve made them…
TURKEY-BACON-AVOCADO KALE WRAPS Paleo lunches are usually just leftovers or salads, so there are times when I definitely miss wraps and sandwiches. Usually I’ll make lettuce wraps, and those are good, but they aren’t really as flexible as a traditional tortilla. I…
SOUTHERN-STYLE KALE GREENS Living in the South means there are some seriously good collard greens to be had. They’re slow-cooked in bacon and broth and delicious as a side with BBQ or chicken. I love them but don’t always find collards as easily as I do kale, and as I…
SIMPLE SAUTÉED KALE This is the most basic of kale recipes, and yet one of my favorites. I like to use it as a base for all sorts of proteins—I just plate it and put chicken or shrimp or whatever else I happen to be making that night right on top. You can customize it…
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…
