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 RISOTTO This faux-sotto, made with riced cauliflower, is a lot quicker than traditional risotto because there are no grains to cook down, which makes it both easier and more challenging. It’s easier because it’s fast, but it’s a bit more challenging to…
CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS I had my first latke a few years ago at a friend’s Hanukkah celebration, and I was completely blown away by how delicious they were. If you haven’t had them before, they are savory little potato cakes usually served with sour cream and sliced…
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…
THAI SHRIMP SALAD A Thai-inspired shrimp salad has got to be one of the most refreshing and satisfying meals out there. When you order it in a restaurant, the dressing tends to be loaded with sugar, so I made this Paleo-friendly version for when I’m hit with a Thai…
SHRIMP STIR-FRY Stir-fries were never my favorite as a kid—something about the large quantity of vegetables didn’t sit right with me, and I disliked cooked green bell peppers, which usually play a key role. But my palate changed as I grew up, and when I started…
SHRIMP SALAD WITH TOMATO AND LEMON When I was first learning to cook for myself, one of my favorite recipes was a shrimp and orzo salad with feta cheese that was served at room temperature, kind of—the pasta was warm and the shrimp was cold, and it was just really…
SHRIMP KEBABS My brother and I made kebabs for our dad one Father’s Day—it seemed like the perfect summer Sunday dinner. They take a little time to put together, but they cook super fast, especially when using shrimp. I love making kebabs for a party because I usually…
SHRIMP GUMBO When I think of gumbo, I usually think of rice, so for a long time I didn’t make it—but gumbo itself is actually very Paleo-friendly. Traditional gumbos start with a roux, which includes flour, but I skip it completely and am always really happy with the…
