I made this slaw recently to take on a day trip with my family, and they ate it so quickly that I didn’t even get a bite! Good thing I packed other goodies, or I would have starved. (Well, we were 30 minutes from home, so I wouldn’t have starved. But I was getting…

Creamy Cilantro No Potato Salad
First, a big thank you goes to Sarah Fragoso at Everyday Paleo for coming up with the original No Potato Salad made with cauliflower. Genius! Second, this recipe is another example of how I often mess up in the kitchen. One of the best parts of a good potato salad,…
Deviled Ham ‘n’ Eggs
I find it hard to believe now, but as a kid, I didn’t like deviled eggs. I would scoop out the filling and eat just the whites. There was something seriously wrong with me back then; I’m sure of it. Nowadays, I can’t get enough of these one-bite flavor explosions! I…
Sweet ‘n’ Smoky Deviled Eggs
If you’re tired of the same ol’ deviled eggs, this recipe will get you “egg-cited!” And best of all, you can customize the filling “egg-zactly” how you like. Prefer the flavor of mayo over avocado? You can use Paleo mayo instead, or a little bit of both. Like your…
Cashew Lime Hummus
I used to be a recipe addict. I would tear countless recipes from magazines and hold on to them for years in the hope that one day I’d make a delicious item that would become a family favorite forever. Alas, I’ve grown up a bit since then, and I hate clutter. So I…
Cracked Pepper and Chive Crackers
On road trips, we like to snack on crackers, salami, olives, etc. So I like to whip up some of these crunchy treats. We love the toasty onion flavor and the little bit of heat from the black pepper. These crispy crackers are perfect with guacamole too! CRACKERS ½ cup…
Nut-Free Granola Bars
Seeds are a great alternative to nuts, but they can get a little boring, according to my eight-year-old. She alternates between pumpkin and sunflower seeds, but she needs them jazzed up occasionally. The maple syrup and sunbutter in these heavenly bars give them an…
Paleo Party Mix
Oh, how I used to love the flavor and crunch of Chex party mix! I remember munching on it during family Christmas parties where the bottoms of pants were big, and hair and eyeglasses were even bigger. Yeah, well, thank goodness we’ve outgrown all that! Especially the…
Ginger Orange Pecans
These crunchy, salty, and sweet pecans are like a mouthful of sunshine! The bite of ginger and the freshness of the orange really brighten up the dreariest road trips. Remember to take along a few napkins for this one, as they can be a little sticky (but not too bad)….
Cocoa Cinnamon Almonds
Who needs plain ol’ almonds when you can jazz ‘em up with cinnamon and chocolate? This quick snack is great after school, on the road, or packaged in a pretty jar with ribbon as a gift. Delicious and portable! 1 tsp cinnamon¼ tsp arrowroot starch2 tsp + 1 tsp cocoa…
Veggie Soup
This vibrant, nutrient-dense soup is like a classic minestrone, minus the beans and pasta. Chock full of fresh tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, and many other veggies, it’s like a bowlful of summer on a cold winter’s day. Make an extra-large batch while the ingredients…
Roasted Tomato Bacon Soup
If you’re looking for something to do with those farmer’s market tomatoes that you couldn’t resist (I understand—they’re beautiful!), try this delicious, smoky tomato soup. I like to prep the ingredients on the stovetop and in the oven. Then I let the slow cooker…
