This Thai inspired dish is one that never fails at surprising people. They usually don’t trust me at first when they find out about the combination of these ingredients, but they change their minds as soon as they take a small bite and they discover the amazing flavor profile of this dish. The combination of white fish like tilapia with bananas in a spicy curry sauce is so different from what most...
For some of us, winter is here to stay and letting the cold air get to us. It’s the perfect time of the year to go back to these old fashioned recipes that we often forget, but which give us so much comfort and good memories. For me, the lamb and sweet potato cottage pie is exactly that type of dish. As long as I can remember, it was one of my grandmother’s specialities and it always brings so...
I came home late again one night and didn’t feel like cooking something very elaborate. When I feel like this, I usually go for a quick salad. Salads are always a good way to get creative and try all kinds of new ingredients you might have on hand. In this salad, I use a combination of fruits, nuts and greens and the end result turned out to be very fresh tasting. The combination of grapes with pears is...
I really enjoy preparing these veal stuffed bell peppers. They are quite versatile and can either be served as a side or main dish, or even as an appetizer. They can even be served for breakfast with a cooked egg on top, for lunch with a salad on the side or for dinner with any of your favorite main Paleo dish. I just love the taste of all the herbs, vegetables and ground veal combined into one larger...
I’ve always had a soft spot for food or ingredients from other cultures. I feel like they can bring you anywhere simply from the flavors and the aromas of the herbs and spices blended with the meat, fishes or vegetables. It’s almost like traveling to a new place without leaving the comfort of your kitchen.
This following recipe is a perfect example of this. It’s a Moroccan inspired dish...
This is a delicious yet simple Paleo dessert that will be ready in no time and doesn’t require too much preparation. It’s important to choose fresh ingredients for this recipe if you want to get the most out of it when it comes to taste and nutrition. Similar and a great alternative to the baked apple recipe, it’s a rather sweet dessert, but it’s still a healthy indulgence. They are...
I realize that this is more of a summertime recipe, but I just couldn’t wait until summer to share it with you especially since it’s so good during these colder winter days. This is such a fresh tasting and light Paleo meal, everyone is bound to love it, even those who don’t generally enjoy fish. The mint and red bell pepper salsa adds vibrant colors and flavors to the mix. This is quite a...
Even though it’s quite simple, this vegetable salad is probably one of my favorites. It’s really tasty and simple to prepare. I often find myself wondering what to eat when I’m running out of time and don’t want to miss out on a nutritious meal. This salad is the perfect solution. It’s efficient in every aspect and can easily be served as a side dish or as a main course, by adding a...
I often want to cook something different when it comes to holidays and special events, without going too much off the beaten path. A few years ago, I came across this recipe and it was just the perfect change it needed to make a whole roast chicken recipe feel new again. The combination of grapes (grape juice), garlic and tasty cooking fat give this chicken recipe a tenderness and taste that is...
Other than with kale chips, it’s very rare that I eat raw kale on its own and I think this is also probably true for most people. Those who do eat raw kale tend to love its rough and distinct taste, but for others, this is what keeps them completely away from the strong tasting vegetable. It’s interesting because cooked kale tends to be completely different in taste than when it’s in...
I came up with the idea of doing a recipe along these lines because I’m quite fond of combining coconut flavors with chicken. Some of my favourite Thai dishes are based on this combination and in order to keep them as favourites, I have to introduce some new dishes, otherwise, I will eat myself sick of them. So I decided to create something new isn’t Thai and this is what I’ve come up...
I just recently purchased a dehydrator and I’ve since been experimenting with various recipes. The main reason for making the purchase was so that I could enjoy one of my favourite childhood snacks: fruit rolls, also known as fruit leathers. It’s great to have on hand, especially if you tend to travel a lot. During the warmer months I’m an avid camper and nothing seems quite as...
This recipe is the prime example of a cultural dish being “Americanized.” I’ve certainly never heard of a Taco Pie being an authentic Mexican dish, but it’s delicious nonetheless, which is what matters most here. Not to mention, it is also a very unique dish that takes no time to prepare. I actually made this dish out of the blue. I was craving a savoury pie, but wanted to try...
It’s very useful to have easy spread and sauce recipes on hand. You probably won’t make use of them too often, but when your in a pinch, it’s great to have something to whip up quickly. I especially like this following recipe because it contains ingredients that I always have well stocked at home in my Paleo pantry.
Oftentimes, it can be difficult to figure out when a spread like this...
When I cook a dish with a lot of sauce or juices from meat, I like do as the Italians do and prepare a delicious bread of some kind to absorb all of the amazing drippings. I have to admit, this could quite possibly be one of my favorite ways of eating dishes that contain a sauce. With that being said though, I try to avoid making any kind of bland bread, but rather something containing subtle...
The concept of an eggs benedict burger is something new to me, but what it entails of are all things that I’ve tried in various ways as separate recipes. In our Quick and Simple Paleo Meals bonus that now comes with the cookbook, you will find a recipe for delicious eggs Benedict and on the website you’ll also find a great recipe for Portobello burgers. I never thought of throwing it all...
I’ve noticed that the seasons usually naturally influence what I choose to eat. For instance, this past summer I ate a lot of sweet fruity salads, but as we head more and more into fall I notice that the flavors change and I often go for something heavier, more hearty in taste. So it didn’t come as a surprise to me when I started to crave a traditional style pork roast. In my mind, nothing...
I recently received an enormous amount of fresh peaches from a friend. I made good use of them when I prepared a jam recipe that I’ll share soon, but there were still plenty of leftovers. I could have just made another variation of peach jam, but instead I looked for something unique. I thought of making a peach sauce, just like an apple sauce. I figured it would probably be just as delicious as the...
There’s nothing better than having a jar of beets handy in the fridge to go alongside your favourite BBQ’d dish. The problem is, store-bought marinaded beets tend to contain high amounts of sugar, among various other preservatives that would not be considered Paleo at all. Many people assume that making your own jarred vegetables would be quite time consuming and complicated, but it...
We’re in the mood to celebrate! We could not be more excited to notice that we’ve reached quite an astonishing goal with the Paleo community: 50,000 followers on Facebook. Since celebrations are in order, we decided to share this delicious and refreshing beverage recipe with you. My inspiration for this recipe comes from the unbearably hot summer days. This, and the fact that my thyme has been...
I previously shared a simple recipe for mussels cooked in white wine among the quick Paleo meals recipe compilation. This one is similar, yet different in its use of a wider variety of fresh herbs and additions like lemon zest to give the final dish a really developed and sophisticated taste.
If you’re looking for a great dish to prepare while entertaining people, this is it! Mussels are so easy...
This is a recipe for a very simple chocolate mousse that’s coffee flavored to give it a really rich and deep taste. As I discussed before in my post on chocolate, coffee and alcohol, both chocolate and coffee can have positive health effects, but can also have negative ones depending on the person and situation. For this reason, I recommend consuming these foods on a sporadic basis and as a healthy...
I have a unique outlook on leftovers - they shouldn’t be viewed as a repeat meal, but more like another ingredient in the fridge that can become part of a great dish. Just the other night I went to a friend’s house for dinner and she was cooking a large piece of ham. It was wonderful, but there was far too much leftover, so she was kind enough to send me home with a nicely packaged...
I made this dish without the intention of sharing it (hence the lack of more pictures); however, upon taking the first bite I knew I had to tell you all about it. It was one of those nights where I felt like making myself a comforting meal, but I was only willing to work with what I had in the fridge because going to the grocery store in search of ingredients was not an option. I knew it would be nothing...
Fish tacos define summertime for me. It’s a great dish to be enjoying with an ice cold drink on a sunny patio somewhere. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a restaurant that will serve the fish filling in something other than a wheat or corn tortilla, but this has not stopped me from getting creative and finding a healthy paleo alternative. In fact, I’ve tried several taco shells over the...
This is bound to be a very controversial recipe to be shared on this website.
Not too long ago, I shared a picture on our Facebook page of a delicious salad I was enjoying and it sparked a lot of attention. This is the result of the fact that I topped the salad with some homemade ricotta cheese. For the most part, feedback from our followers was quite positive, but it seemed to cause an upset for some....
I love having unique spreads and sauces in the fridge that I can just grab at in the event that whatever I happen to be eating needs some extra flavour or texture. If you’re the same way, you probably took notice to the fact that it’s near impossible to get your hands on a spread or sauce that doesn’t contain sugar, vegetable seed oils or soy, along with a handful of other unwanted...
The following coconut squares are both delicious and very easy to prepare. They look sophisticated and are therefore perfect to serve when hosting guests. They really are all about coconuts with coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut flour and shredded coconut. If you absolutely love coconuts, this one will surely become a favorite.
Sweets are most commonly the hardest thing for people to give up when...
Here’s a very simple Paleo vegetable dish of fried tomatoes, zucchinis and mushrooms with a curry sauce served alongside. Only a few basic ingredients are required, but the taste profile of the resulting dish is amazing and the combination of vegetables seems to go very well together.
This website allows me to experiment with so many recipes. I do my best to filter the bad from the good and only...
It’s very unlike me to not follow a recipe to a “T” when my objective is to be able to share it here with you. I always want to be 100% sure ingredients make sense and portions are exact, otherwise something supposed to be delicious could easily end up being a big flop. That being said, today is a special day, as I have decided to share with you a salad I just threw together for lunch,...
