This recipe is the base for many creations. It's your starting point.

Grilled Chicken Wraps with Quick Pickled Veg
I had a reader tell me the other day that she used to be paleo but gave it up because she felt like she was eating the same few meals over and over. Getting really bored of just bison, avocado, broccoli, and sweet potatoes, she stopped eating paleo despite getting results she wanted from the whole, clean foods way of eating. Here is the great news: you don't have to eat the same four things over and over to eat paleo! There's so many … [Read more...]

Mango Sweetened Cranberry Chutney
Cranberry chutney is one thing I don't feel like I see anywhere outside of Thanksgiving. I'd usually have a bite or two with my Thanksgiving meal, but it was never the star player of my plate.

Trying to find a way to sweeten these tart berries without the 1/2 - 1 cup white … [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...]
Herbed Green Bean and Radish Salad
If you are following a clean paleo diet (which means you follow the strictest paleo diet guidelines) you would not eat green beans. They'd be on the "do not fly" list. Green beans are in fact "beans" as their name denotes. Beans are legumes. The paleo diet does not include legumes. … [Read more...]
