Baked Cauliflower “Fried” Rice
I've been doing a lot of traveling lately and in an airport while walking from gate to gate, I got a whiff of Chinese food. Ever since, I couldn't get the craving out of my head for some sweet orange chicken and fried rice. The day after arriving back home, this recipe was born. … [Read more...]
About Paleo
The paleo diet consists of meat, seafood, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds. It is based on the research of Dr. Loren Cordain and made wildly popular by his student Robb Wolf‘s book The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet. Because the Paleo diet consists of meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds (and their products i.e. avocado oil or coconut milk), it does not include some large groups of food you may be used to eating on the … [Read more...]

Pork Roulade with Hearts of Palm Sauce
I'm still at my parents' for the weekend and wanted to make a nice paleo meal for everyone for dinner. I spearheaded the main, and my mom took over on veggie/side prep. My obsession with sun dried tomatoes had me dreaming of this recipe for a while so I finally decided to try it tonight. I love sauces with proteins and knew I'd come up with a good one when my 15-year old brother tasted it and called it "Jesus Concoction Sauce". For not having … [Read more...]
Leftover Frittata
My husband and I arrived off the red-eye to stay at my parents' for a long weekend. It was time for breakfast when we arrived home. Moving to a paleo diet can be very foreign to a non-paleo'er so when I pulled out the left overs from my parent's dinner the night before around 9 am my mom was surprised, but happy she had something that we could eat. She had made Autumn Vegetables and Butter Roasted Turkey Breasts. I repurposed them for … [Read more...]

About
About Paleo Paisan Paleo - a term used to describe a diet of meat, seafood, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds. It is based off of the diet of our ancestors from the paleolithic era.

Being that I am 100% Italian and interested in the Paleo diet, Paleo … [Read more...]

Paleo Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
My sister and I are always swapping recipes and texting photos of our cooking. Some time when I was living in Portland she shared with me a recipe for a pumpkin pie smoothie she read in a running magazine. Unfortunately I don’t often write these things down. I was on a kick for a while and I made it so often I had it memorized. Years later, I just remember it was good. So today after crossfit I made up my own paleo version for breakfast. In … [Read more...]
Thyme Broiled Asparagus
I love the taste of grilled asparagus, but in the dead of winter, if you don't have a grill, or you just want a quicker dish, that doesn't always work so well. This is my go-to recipe for asparagus. … [Read more...]
Crab Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
My husband and I got a gift card to Costco. Well, actually, for his birthday his parents gave him a gift card to shop at Costco. So if by that you mean we got a gift card to Costco, then yeah. Only food people would want a gift like that. "What would you like for your birthday?" … [Read more...]
Lime Basil Shrimp with Spinach and Bell Pepper
A few years ago I was in a doctor’s office somewhere flipping through a magazine. Always looking for cooking inspiration, I stumbled across this recipe. It originally called for tofu as the protein, soy sauce, and was topped with peanuts. At the time, I ate all those things and made it just that way. Pre-iPhone I learned a great trick from my mom: see a recipe you like? Rip the page right out and discreetly stick in in your purse. Thankfully … [Read more...]
