BROCCOLI-ARUGULA SALAD WITH BACON I almost always have the ingredients for this simple salad in my refrigerator, but I often forget to throw them all together. Broccoli and cucumber are both such “snacky” vegetables in my mind—I never do much more with them than cut…
BROCCOLI WRAPS This is a more involved recipe that gives you a great lunch option. Broccoli gets blended in the food processor and combined with eggs to make veggie-loaded lunch wraps with which you can wrap up sliced meat (or any filling, really) for a deliciously…
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…
