Vietnamese Inspired Chicken & Cabbage Salad (Paleo)

Once upon a time...long long ago, a little American girl packed up with her family and moved to Southeast Asia. As you might imagine this was quite an adventure! It was filled with new smells, tastes, sounds, colors and many more things the girl had never experienced before.

The open markets in Asia remind me of the farmers markets here, only on steroids. They're

Poached Salmon w/ Coconut Cream Reduction & Arugula Micro Greens

Poached salmon is one of my favorite meals! Arugula micro greens.....my current obsession. Coconut cream and white wine reduction....do I even need to qualify THAT one? And so I give you this delicious salmon recipe that's super easy to make and yet designed to impress.

I used salmon from US Wellness Meats. In fact you'll find this recipe in it's entirety over on their site where I was the

Smoked Ham & Apple Butternut Squash Hash AND Beyond Bacon Book Review

At this point, if you follow our blog, there's a very good chance that you've already heard quite a bit about Beyond Bacon, either from us or from any number of other Paleo bloggers out there. You might even be asking yourself, "What's the point of another review on Beyond Bacon?" Well the point of this review is not just to tell you how amazing this book is, from it's gorgeous cover to

Overnight Vietnamese Pickled Shrimp

Today I get to share another great recipe from my stint as the April featured chef over at US Wellness Meats. If you haven't been over there to check them out, do it now. They have a wide variety of grass fed, sustainable meats and seafood as well as pastured goat and cow cheeses, nitrate free meats, sugar free bacon, sausages and more. I absolutely love this place! Now, more about these

Paleo Cauliflower Mash-tinis: Getting Perfect, Fluffy Cauli-Mash Everytime

Truth be told, I am and have always been a sucker for wedding/party food. I remember the first "Mash-tini" bar that I encountered. It was at a wedding (of course) and there was a tall, quiet man dressed in black pants and a crisp white dress shirt serving up elegant, long stemmed martini glasses filled with fluffy clouds of buttery mashed potatoes. With a sweep of his arm he invited me to

Spicy Baked Tex-Mex Meatballs (Paleo, Grain Free, Gluten Free)

I tried to think of something funny and witty, or even romantic (yes....food romance, I like to call it "fromance") to write before I posted this recipe. THAT was 3 weeks ago. After numerous emails asking..."Hey where's that Texas meat ball recipe that you promised?", I realized that I should set aside the aspirations of brilliant witty writing this go around and just post the recipe..

Meat Lovers Cream Of Mushroom, "Not Really Wild Rice"Soup(Paleo,Dairy/Grain Free)

As a child I grew up in the deep.....DEEP North. And when I say " Deep North", what I really mean by this is dark woods, two-seater outhouses, dog sleds, giant black bears roaming around, endless tree-covered landscapes and frigid, 40-below winter nights. Besides the fact that my mom insisted on dressing me like the abominable snowman every time I left the house (seriously, you should have

Crock Pot Pumpkin & Crab Chowder (Dairy Free/Paleo)

Ok, I know I made you guys wait for this one. Normally, I don't blog about my crazy life or busy week but goodness....the last few have been a blur. Recently I agreed to write a 2000-word yoga article and provide four lovely yoga pics of myself for a magazine. (Haha, I'm such a 'poser')

Now, it's hard enough to like a picture of oneself as it is, but add to that putting it in a

Bacon & Chive Coconut Flour Biscuits (Paleo, Nut/Gluten/Grain/DairyFree)

I'm not a woman of many words today, but that's OK because these tasty pumpkin drop biscuits pretty much speak for themselves! They are the perfect partner to some warm soup on a cold day and are brilliant for making breakfast sandwiches in the morning. The best thing about these little guys: they are super versatile, so don't be afraid to ditch the onions and bacon (blasphemy, I know!)

Kale Chip Nachos W/'No Dairy' Parmesan (Paleo/Priaml/GAPS)

So head on

Street Foods: Vietnamese Cauli-Fried Rice W/Nước Chấm (Grain Free)

If you've ever had the pleasure of walking through an open street market in some foreign city you know that there is nothing quite like the overwhelming tidal wave that it is to the senses. Brightly decorated little food stands with colorful signs describing their fare. The excited chatter of vendors striking deals and calling in new patrons. Steel scraping hot steel as charred woks barely

Gingered Green Beans W/Caramelized Shallots

As I sit in my kitchen, snapping the ends of a big basket of fresh green beans, I keep hearing this voice in my head saying....no wait, almost singing...."Busy girls are happy girls." I remember snapping green beans with my best friend, her mother's voice prompting us like a soothing melodic chime.....but despite her sweet 'chiming' voice, we weren't fooled for a second by the veiled

RAW Noodles & Veggies W/RAW Asian Pesto Sauce (Paleo, RAW, Vegan, GAPS)

So here we are...FINALLY; my very own "EAT MORE VEGGIES" month. (Thanks to all for your patience as I recovered from the flu). This month is my own personal quest to re-imagine that shared experience of every child's least favorite phrase. We've all heard it: You can probably even hear your mother's voice right now echoing it; "You need to eat your veggies". But seriously, every one of

Spicy Cocoa Roasted Carrots

My kids say that chocolate goes with everything... chocolate and fruit, chocolate and cheese, chocolate and bacon (uhhhh...yes please!). So I decided to really put that theory to the test: Ok boys, how about....Chocolate and Carrots?

Take a little cocoa, some coriander powder (for depth), some cinnamon and a pinch of ancho chile powder (for a little extra kick)....and what do you

FAUXmato Marinara Sauce

You might be asking yourself..."Why on earth wouldn't you just eat regular tomato sauce?"

Well there are a few reasons but mainly an allergy or a sensitivity to "Night Shade Plants" Now you might ask "What is a night shade plant?" And I would say that is an entire post by itself. However night shades do include, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant.

All these foods are good
