SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH CHORIZO AND COCONUT CREAM This soup is rich and flavorful, made with roasted sweet potatoes and chorizo and then mixed with full-fat coconut milk for the rich creaminess that you look for in a thick soup or bisque. It’s perfect on a chilly fall...
SWEET POTATO HASH BROWNS I make these sweet potato hash browns every time we have weekend guests, and it’s always a hit. Sometimes it can be hard to get sweet potatoes as crispy as you want them to be, but for some reason, this recipe always delivers on flavor and...
SWEET POTATO CHIPS I buy sweet potato chips all the time from Trader Joe’s, but I know they’re cooked in non-Paleo oils and usually loaded with preservatives, so whenever I can, I make them myself. This recipe is a good one, although it does have a long cook time....
SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH WALNUTS AND CRISPY ONIONS This sweet potato casserole is a flavorful side dish. The crispy, savory onions are almost like Paleo onion rings, and they pair really well with the extra unexpected crunch of the walnuts and the sweetness of the...
ROASTED SWEET POTATOES This is the classic way to prepare sweet potatoes, in my opinion. It’s so simple, and you can serve it with almost any protein plus a green vegetable, and you have a complete Paleo dinner without having to do much planning. It’s like the...
PANTRY BASIC DRY RUB This is the dry rub we use whenever we make Baby Back Ribs (here)—it’s so good. You can mix it all up ahead of time and then add fresh orange zest as needed. It’s also great as a seasoning for chicken, shrimp, beef, or pretty much any protein....

BBQ-STUFFED SWEET POTATOES These sweet potatoes topped with pulled pork are sweet and tangy, and they make a great, easy weeknight dinner, as long as you’ve prepped a few things ahead of time (the pork, for example). All you then have to do is throw together a quick...
BAKED SWEET POTATOES Baking a sweet potato is one of the easiest ways you can prepare the tough root vegetable—it may take an hour, but all you do is pop it in the oven and set a timer. I love making them as a side for dinner, so long as I remember that I had planned...
STUFFED MUSHROOMS Stuffed mushrooms are an awesome appetizer. They do require a bit of work to make, but they’re always popular. You can stuff them with many different kinds of fillings, but my favorite is a simple mix of crab meat, scallion, and a splash of lemon...
STEWED MUSHROOMS For a while I called this “mushroom stew,” but it didn’t quite feel right. They’re definitely comforting and kind of cozy, but really they’re stewed mushrooms more than they’re mushroom stew. Anyway, I liked the idea of slow-cooking mushrooms in some...
