Roast Beef With Thyme, Garlic And Red Wine

Preparing a roast should not be complicated nor very time consuming, unless you want it to be. I thoroughly enjoy devouring a tender roast; however, since it requires quite a bit of cooking time, I prefer the preparation to be straightforward and simple. That being said, you cannot fall short when it comes to purchasing the meat. Try to find a good quality butcher or local farmer that will sell you a...

Cinnamon Chicken

There are flavors associated to each season and this has a strong influence on how I cook things and what ingredients I use at different times of the year. Cinnamon is one of my favorite fall flavors and as the colder months are approaching, this cinnamon chicken dish gets quite popular in my household. It goes especially well with other popular fall ingredients like squashes. When I cook with cinnamon in...

Spicy Drumsticks

I tend to socialize quite a bit, both with people following a Paleo diet and people who don’t. As I am sure most would agree, a very large part of socializing happens to involve food. This can be quite difficult when I visit with those who do not lead the same lifestyle as I do. The one thing that I have noticed with this circle of friends is that they spend way too much time concerning themselves...

Eggplant Mushroom Curry

I thoroughly enjoy eating curries. They can be quite easy and quick to make, and you can cover many of the food groups in just one dish. I got inspired to make this dish after I ate something similar at a local restaurant. It’s something that I’ve eaten there a few times, and what I love most about it is that it never quite tastes the same. I learned why this is after my last visit when I...

Beanless Chili

I am about to jet off to Italy and I couldn’t be more excited! I realize that many people go there to indulge in an abundance of food that can often taste delicious, but that’s often far from healthy, especially when it comes to bread and pasta. It will most certainly be a challenge to find dishes that will accommodate to my better lifestyle choices, but this is a challenge I will face...

Grilled Peaches With Prosciutto And Basil

As I write about this recipe, I am in the midst of peach season and I can not get enough of them! For me, there is very little better than a ripe, juicy, tender peach. That being said, there is nothing worse than biting into a peach that falls short of meeting these standards, one that is as hard as a rock. Since I am so fond of this fruit, when the season is right, I indulge myself in fresh local...

Roasted Bell Pepper Side Dish

I am always looking for “side dish” ideas. I find this to be the most difficult part in making a paleo meal, mainly because what many would consider to be a traditional side of rice or potatoes is not so for most Paleo followers, even though most starchy vegetables are healthy and a good addition to the diet. Read up on Paleo 2.0 for more information about the healthfulness of starchy vegetables and...

Egg And Pesto Stuffed Tomatoes

I thoroughly enjoy roasted tomatoes. Like many vegetables or fruits, when roasted or grilled, their flavors become much more pronounced. In the case of tomatoes, they also become much richer in the antioxidant lycopene when they are cooked. I needed a recipe that would differ from your traditional tomato with olive oil and garlic roast. Essentially, this meant that I would need to choose more great...

Raspberry And Spinach Salad

Salads are great. They are tasty and crunchy and they can often be put together in a matter of minutes. They are often light in nature, making them a good choice alongside heavier main courses. All kinds of combinations can be great for a salad and the only limit is your imagination. It gets especially interesting when sweet and salty flavors are combined or when food with multiple textures are used. In...

Paleo Meat Loaf With Mushrooms

Meat loaf resonates some very fond memories for me. It takes me back to my childhood years at grandmother’s, where life was so much more comfortable at times. For many, a meat loaf recipe will travel through many generations of a family, always remaining the same. I would love to say that this recipe originated decades ago in my family; however, if it did, it would contain ingredients such as flour...

Shrimp In Fruity Salsa

In my mind, there is nothing better nor easier than whipping up some shrimp when strapped for time. Shrimp is very nutritious, and it is so simple to prepare. On the nutrition side, they are a good source of vitamin B12, iron and selenium. For this dish, I wanted to combine some fruity flavors with great spices. I went to my local fish market, picked up some large shrimp and got to work. I chose cumin and...

Herb and Prosciutto Stuffed Steak

I was recently inspired to work with a cured meat I rarely use in the kitchen. Prosciutto is commonly recognized as dry-cured ham of Italian origin that is very thinly sliced. It’s quite salty, yet with a good meaty taste. Creating this dish was difficult for me because not only do I rarely cook with it, I felt quite clueless on how to use it. Given my lifestyle, its common uses for sandwiches and...

Leek And Sweet Potato Soup

I don’t like being unfamiliar or inexperienced when it comes to cooking with any given ingredient. That being said, I recently realized that I have rarely made use of leeks, especially as the main component of my dishes. So, I decided to challenge myself and make something with leeks. Leeks belong to the same family as onions and garlic. They have a taste that’s reminiscent of onions, except...

Red Pepper Dip

Snacking is often regarded as unhealthy, but this is mainly due to the fact that most popular snacks contain some pretty nasty ingredients. Even if a healthy Paleo diet helps keep hunger at bay and even if eating every few hours is not a particularly good habit to have, it doesn’t mean that snacking is out of the question, especially when the snack is homemade from natural and fresh ingredients....

Beet And Walnut Salad

Beets are a root vegetable that I used to rarely cook with solely because I did not know how to prepare them in interesting ways. I find this to be true for many people. Very few recipes call for them and rarely are they the main ingredient. All this said, they are a quite easy vegetable to cook with and they can be a great contributor to a healthy diet. They are good raw, roasted, boiled or even...

Pesto Mashed Potatoes

I frequently host friends for dinner and if there is one thing I have learned, it is the importance of having reliable side dish recipes at hand. I love to experiment with the main meal; however, when doing so, I find it to be safest when it is paired with a more traditional side. This is most important when cooking for people who tend to be more conservative with what they eat. White potatoes are not...

Chicken With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

This recipe has run in my family for many years; however, it was traditionally used as a pasta sauce. To enjoy it in a healthy way, I had to find a creative way to use it. I opted to top a roasted chicken breast with this creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and it was fabulous! That being said, there are always other ways it can be used. For instance, pork or fish would be a great meat alternatives. Chicken and...

Portobello burgers

I am sticking with the theme of quick and easy recipes as this good weather continues. The other night I hosted some friends and we were all really in the mood to be outside. When this happens, I almost always resort to the BBQ. The menu called for simple beef hamburgers atop a lightly seasoned Portabello mushroom. Tomatoes and avocado were the perfect toppers, along with a spiced mustard. I will...

Special Sweet Potato Salad

It is officially barbecue season and I love nothing more than both hosting and attending them. So, when I recently received an invite to one, it was a give-in that I would be going. The host had asked that each attendee bring a dish along, but when I asked what, the response was the dreaded “anything.” Potato Salad is certainly not a safe choice, as it is generally one of the most popular...

Cream Of Tomato Basil Soup

Here is yet another recipe that is quick and easy to prepare during these beautiful summer evenings. It is a cream of tomato basil soup that requires very few ingredients and very little preparation. This is a recipe that you’ll want to keep handy for the month of August, when all your tomatoes from your garden or local farmer are plentiful, ripe and ready to become part of a delicious meal. You can...

Quick And Creamy Chicken Stew

I have been wanting to make a nice stew for a while now, but stews usually cook for a long time and need some thinking ahead to have the food ready at the right time. Also, now that summer is on the horizon, my objective is to spend the least amount of time in the kitchen. Despite this, I did commit myself to creating a stew that was simple and easy to prepare. It was a success! What I loved most about...

Bacon Wrapped Roast Beef With Sweet Potato Mash

I used to find the process of roasting meat very intimidating. Why? Because I always feared overcooking it, and when I did, it was very dry and difficult to eat. However, I have since come up with a recipe that keeps the roast very moist, and best of all, it is super simple. There is very little preparation involved, and you will most likely have all the ingredients handy. You’ll want to make sure...

Fish Cakes

I am hosting a friend of mine for lunch and I am truly dreading her reaction to what I have chosen to make. I know I should not make the premature assumption that she is going to refuse to eat it; however, she has to be the pickiest eater around. That being said, I must offer her up some credit, as I know she is desperately trying to expand her palate. But back to my main concern…What do I make? As...

Creamy Mushroom Stew

It has been a rainy day, the type that makes you want to curl up on the couch and watch a movie, or hide behind a good read, while indulging in some delicious comfort food. Today I was inspired to come up with a dish that would satisfy these cravings. Stew is for sure in my top comfort foods. The only thing that truly discourages me from making it more often than I do is the time it takes to cook. In an...

Spicy Scallop Salad

As summer quickly approaches I get the urge to spend more and more time in the great outdoors. Unfortunately, this results in me spending less time in the kitchen; however, there are plenty of recipes available that can be thrown together in no time and still be thoroughly enjoyable. I tried out this Spicy Scallop Salad the other night and it was amazing. It can be difficult to try and make a meal out of...

Irish Kidney Soup

Just in time for St-Patrick’s day, here is a simple and traditional Irish soup, one which calls for nothing less than lamb kidneys. Lamb and mutton are very popular in Ireland and the landscape there is ideal for lambs and muttons to graze on luscious green pastures. Mutton is somewhat less popular outside of Ireland, but has a great, stronger tasting, meat. Organs have all the praise in the paleo...

Green Chicken Masala

Chicken tikka masala is a curry made with roasted chicken and a red or orange sauce. This recipe differs from the traditional tikka masala in its use of a paste made with fresh cilantro and mint for a green chicken masala. Similarly to the traditional tikka masala though, the combination of Indian spices give a nice and spicy taste to this dish, something not too much unlike other curries. It should not...

Paleo Snacks

Snacking is an area where many people struggle when it comes to staying in a Paleo and healthy territory. At first glance, it might seem like the choices are quite limited and that snacking is less than ideal altogether. While very different than most snacks-in-a-box popular on the SAD (Standard American Diet), it only takes a little imagination and willingness to try out new things to discover a whole...

Nectarine And Onion Pork Chops

Many fruits blend very well with the flavors of pork. Apples are often coupled with pork, but other fruits can do a great job too, as the nectarines do in this recipe. I encourage you to try out variations of this recipe with different fruits. Grapes and berries are two examples that come to mind. It turns out that nectarines are probably one of the healthiest fruits out there. First off, like other...

Sweet Potato And Sausage Soup

Soup is always welcomed, especially in the cold winter time when the extra heat from a hot soup can be very comforting. It’s a great way to consume healthy amounts of delicious and nutritious homemade stock. It’s also a good way to use all kinds of vegetables scraps from your refrigerator in need of a vocation, especially with a puréed soup where nobody will ever notice your clever use of...
