This is truly my FIRST PALEO RECIPE! 🙂 I’m not sure how old I was, but this was definitely from Elementary school. I came across this awesome memento because it was in the recipe book that was given to me at the Bridal Shower my coworker Julie threw for me […]
Paleo Bombay Sweet Potatoes
This recipe marries the ingredients of a recipe that I had saved from a Relish magazine, and the method of a cooking potatoes that I watched Melissa d’Arabian use on Food Network. I am happy to say that it is a happy marriage. The Bombay Sweet Potato recipe from Chef […]
Baked Paleo Chickfila Chicken Nuggets
My brother’s girlfriend sent me the inspiration for this recipe, and she planned on making it during their snowboarding trip. She sent it to me because she thought it would be a good addition to my site. She was right. It was also perfect for our bellies. Taylor LOVES Chick-fil-a. […]
Paleo Hot Antipasto
This is another recipe that I grew up eating. It was given to my Mom by my Nouna. The original recipe is delicious, but contains potato, bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. My Mom also added whole cherry tomatoes to the original recipe, and the way that they puff up (and […]
A Paleo Twist on Taco Soup
This is yet another recipe from my childhood. It was originally named Taco Twist Soup for the spiral noodles in the soup. I include twist in the title because the twist is making it Paleo by eliminating the cheese and pasta. I added an additional bell pepper, and cut them […]
Mama Carroll’s Shrimp Boil
When Taylor and I came home for Christmas, we arrived at his parents’ house after 9pm, and with rumbly tummies. We were greeted with warm oxtail soup, and free-rein of the kitchen. We happened upon a large bowl of scrumptious-looking shrimp, seasoned, and ready for peeling. I whipped us up […]
Paleo Crispy-Baked Eggplant Dippers
This is possibly the best thing I have ever made. I’m not saying that just because I love the show “The Best Thing I Ever Made” on the Food Network. That being said, I have never been so proud of a food product before in my life. The inspiration for […]
Mama V’s Almost Paleo Sweet and Sour Sausage Meatballs
These meatballs were one of my absolute favorite foods when I was growing up. Frankly, they are still one of my favorite foods. The only difference? The old recipe has been remixed of course! The original recipe had brown sugar and bread crumbs. My Mom can be credited for the […]
Miraculous Melon Salad
I call this melon salad miraculous because the flavors may not seem to go together, but everything is delicious! I had never seen cantaloupe paired with savory before I saw my roommate in college shaking black pepper onto her cantaloupe. I had seen my Mom eat cantaloupe with chocolate ice […]
Quick and Easy Fresh Guacamole
There is no reason or need to buy premade guacamole. Not only do they often have unnecessary additives, but sometimes the consistence is more like a hummus or cream cheese (ew). A good guacamole requires few ingredients, and will end up tasting like the guacamole you spend extra money for […]
