Salmon With Cherry Tomato Salsa And Asparagus
Being able to prepare a very healthy meal in a limited amount of time is something that the majority of people long for (especially when children are apart of the equation). With a lot of experience in the kitchen, I can say that fish is by far the best way to go in order to achieve this. If you pair it up with some easy sides, fish takes no time at all to grill up on the BBQ, or roast in the oven. Aside...
Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade
It seems as though the seasons have been a little confused lately (at least where I’m from). We may just be skipping out on Spring this year and jumping right into Summer. I guess I shouldn’t really complain, as I could totally live without the rain. But then to think of what these odd temperatures will do to my garden. It’s my first year planting all my herbs and vegetables from seed...
Paleo Easter Menu
This will be my first year hosting the whole family for a complete Paleo feast for Easter. I could not be more excited! I have worked hard to come up with a menu that is suitable to us Paleo followers, but also something that will be full of enjoyment for my non-Paleo family members. My hope is that this day filled with food will be enough to convince some of them to transition to a better...
Steaks With Mushrooms And Red Wine Reduction
Steak has to be the one food that most people think of when they think about a Paleo diet and with good reason. Steak is absolutely delicious and loaded with micro-nutrients, minerals and healthy saturated fat. Also, it’s easy and quick to prepare when you know the right techniques. For this, I encourage you to head over and learn about the art of cooking steak. For exemple, details such as...
Blueberry Cucumber Smoothie
The following is a very quick and simple Paleo recipe for a delicious blueberry cucumber smoothie. It might seem like an odd combination, but it’s truly delicious. Even though cucumbers are technically and botanically a fruit, they are one of the rare ones to be more on the savory side of the spectrum so they are often considered and prepared as a vegetable. A lot of people do not like to mix...
Pickled eggs
Snacking can be very important to help stick to a healthy diet and finding healthy Paleo-friendly snacks can sometime seem somewhat difficult. After all, most of them have to be prepared at home because there is almost no good healthy snack options at grocery stores. Everything that’s already prepared and packaged seems to contain so many ingredients that are toxic to our health like refined sugar,...
Cooking With Cast Iron
Do you ever really consider how important your cookware is? I am sure you have heard all about the nightmares of cooking with Teflon and have since been swayed to the Stainless Steel or Copper options, but is it any surprise for you to learn that what our grand-parents used is better than anything produced since? It may seem difficult to believe, but then again, we know that, more often than not, the old...
Chocolate Pudding
I often hear from parents with young children about their struggles to convert their children to a Paleo diet. This can be difficult, as children often have only little to no understanding of why this change in their life is so important. It becomes even more of a challenge when your children are spending their days at school where they snack and eat lunch with other children who bring tasty and colourful...
Shrimp And Mango Salad
I frequently get comments from non-seafood lovers looking for ways to introduce seafood into their diets without making them hate it even more. It’s something that can be very difficult to overcome, but I highly recommend trying to make it work, as seafood is almost essential for a truly optimal diet, given the nutrient density found in most seafood choices. For most, it’s either because of...
Guacamole With Radish and Oranges
You get together for a gathering, everyone is to bring food, so it’s your chance to shine! Maybe I’m being a little dramatic, but I quite enjoy the friendly competition of trying to outdo all the other guests with an eye catching dish. This unique guacamole will do just that. The ingredients are nothing unusual, but the way it’s presented makes up for it. The concept is just like that of...
Creamy Tomato Baked Scallops
I was at the fish market the other day and I could not pass up on the fresh scallops. They were a great size, nice, plump and the perfect color. It’s always important to examine the color of the scallops you’re buying. They should be a pale pink color, as anything else means they are not so fresh anymore. I find it much better it to purchase seafood when it’s fresh instead of frozen. Of...
Tuna Steak With Avocado And Cilantro Marinade
I spoiled myself recently and got my hands on a delicious piece of fresh tuna steak. At the time, I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I knew I had a craving that I had to satisfy. I say that I “spoiled” myself because I don’t eat fresh tuna as frequently as I would like to, or more like as much as I should, given the great nutritional profile it provides. I only ever purchase my...
Chicken Salad With Grapes, Apples And Cranberries
How about the best chicken salad you’ll ever eat? You’re totally going to have to take a step on the wild side with trying this one out as it is certainly a far cry from a traditional homemade chicken salad. It’s an excellent combination of chicken, fruits and vegetables (if you can even comprehend such a combination) and I think you could totally still add more to it if you wanted....
Paleo Super Bowl Recipes
It just so happens to be a big weekend. Football lovers will be glued to the season’s most exciting game and the chefs will be in the kitchen whipping up all the best finger foods for the event. I won’t bore you with too much chat, as the recipes I happen to be sharing today are nothing less than what you would expect to find at your average Super Bowl party. All of them are prepared with...
Egg Drop Soup
How about a simple Asian inspired soup to warm your soul? It’s the perfect soup to whip up in less than 20 minutes and enjoy on a lazy day. I actually got introduced to this recipe the last time I had an upset stomach. It contains very few ingredients, yet it is very soothing. I’ve provided you with the bare bones, or base recipe and you can choose to add more, or even less. For example, both...
Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
I have a confession to make: I don’t always enjoy cooking pork. It is an extremely temper-mental meat to cook, mainly because it’s so easy to ruin a dish by overcooking it. This results in very dry and tasteless meat. Pork, like chicken, can also be somewhat of a tasteless meat when enjoyed on its own. This is why I often prefer cooking with red meat from ruminants like beef, lamb or bison,...
Chocolate Cranberry Pie
I thoroughly enjoy meal planning for gatherings with friends and family and it’s my time to shine. We will soon have all the family and close friends together to enjoy some delicious food over great conversation. See, many of my family and friends still struggle to understand my passion for a Paleo diet. I don’t blame them, as most people are either bored to death when it comes to proper...
Basic Spinach Quiche
This could be one of the simplest breakfasts you will ever make. That being said, let’s not restrict it to just a morning dish, as I can assure you it’s just as good any other time of the day. Traditionally, quiches are open-faced savory pastries with a filling of eggs, ham, vegetables and cheese and with a thin crust. Here it’s back to basics with a very simple egg preparation with...
Slow-Cooked Pork Roast
I got myself into a tight situation recently. I decided to host dinner with some friends without looking at my schedule. Just the night before I luckily realized that I would have maybe 30 minutes from the time I got home to the time my guests were scheduled to arrive. This left me with little time to throw some elegant feast together. Sounds familiar? So, I pulled out something that I don’t use...
Mushroom Salad
Do you ever have that one dish that you can’t get enough of? I’m sure you have. You know, it’s the one that you make way too often and you’re boarder-line getting sick of it, but you still just can’t stop! That’s what this salad is for me. It’s not just any salad though, it’s more like a hearty meal in itself. Big juicy marinaded and sauteed mushrooms on top...
Paleo Pizza
This is the best dish to make for any one of the following reasons and then some: a craving for that missed comfort food, a lazy Sunday afternoon, a party where pleasing people and serving healthy food becomes a challenge, a long day at work with little time left for dinner or if you’re in need of an idea for a quick and easy lunch. I guess I have left out one reason, perhaps the most obvious being...
Sweet Potato Lime Soup
I recently had the opportunity to visit this very small rural town with a population of about 6,000. Perhaps many would consider this to be a generous sized small town; however, for me, it is quite small. It’s not just the small population that gave me this feeling, but the fact that there was one main street that ran maybe three blocks with only a handful of shops. Restaurants were never full...
Zucchini Cakes
Every spring and summer I work really hard on my vegetable and herb garden. It initially started as a very small operation, just a few pots of herbs and two tomato plants, but every year outdoes the previous. It has become an addiction on mine. I am fascinated about how much you can actually grow yourself often with only minimal effort. It’s also great to know that you are eating the most freshest,...
Roasted Cauliflower With Mint And Pomegranate
How about an easy and quick side dish that will go well with anything and requires very little preparation? Sounds good right?! I don’t think I’m the only one to say that preparing a side dish after you have spent an endless amount of time in the kitchen preparing the main dish is kind of a drag, especially when you have no idea what to make. My favorite side dishes are the ones that require...
Slow Cooked Pork Spare Ribs
It’s a weekend afternoon and I am hosting the guys, it can only mean one thing of course, ribs will be served. By no means am I insinuating that ribs are exclusively a men’s thing, but the ladies seem to not favor the idea of the “finger food” as much as their counterparts. But ladies, don’t runaway from this recipe too quickly, just don’t expect to have clean fingers while...
Garlic And Parsley Deviled Eggs
This recipe certainly beats any plain old deviled eggs I have ever had! The main reason is because everyone seems to share the exact same deviled eggs recipe. It’s as if there is only one way to make them. And without a doubt, you know that if you are attending any kind of gathering there will be more than enough of them to go around. This is why this centuries old appetizer has left me so...
Sweet Potato Casserole
This is a recipe for a delicious sweet potato casserole that is perfect to serve alongside any of your holiday meals! Sweet potatoes are very complimentary to most savory meals and they can easily be paired up with any choice of meat or fish. The sweetness of the following Paleo side dish blends perfectly with more savory options and brings a festive side to your holiday meals. A variation of the mashed...
Thai Chicken Curry Soup
A challenge that many new-comers to the Paleo Lifestyle face is that they may feel somewhat restricted to what they can eat. When you become a more experienced Paleo chef though, you realize that a Paleo diet doesn’t limit you at all in the kitchen, in fact, it can even empower you to enjoy flavors that are more varied than what the average person enjoys. I first realized this when I began exploring...
Hearty Beef Stew
It has been one of those days that I am sure many of you have had. A long day, nothing planned for dinner, in no mood to cook, but craving something delicious. When I opened my fridge I realized that I had very little to work with, so I got creative with what I had and came up with a great beef stew. As much as I had not planned what I was going to throw together for dinner, I always try to prepare myself...
Roasted Acorn Squash
Fall is upon us, which means it’s the best time of the year to enjoy winter squashes of all kinds. Spaghetti squash, pumpkin, butternut squash, buttercup squash, … I never used to eat them much, as I found them quite intimidating. I have since learned that there is nothing to be scared of, as squashes require very little in the way of additional ingredients to make them taste absolutely...
