Paleo Cherry Cheesecake
Ahhhhh…..cherry cheesecake. My most favoritest dessert since I could chew. Crumbly graham cracker crust, luscious filling, sweet cherries, I would beg Mom to make it. This weekend Grandma and Grandpa came over and Grandma brought a cherry cheesecake. This inspired me to create a paleo version and voila! This recipe was born! The crust is…
Paleo Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
A couple weeks ago, Grandma asked me for a rhubarb crisp recipe. I found one on the Internet, and while it was utterly delish (you did a great job Grandma!), it had a good bit of honey/maple syrup in it. So yesterday, in an attempt to use our overabundant rhubarb, I created this version, which…
Cauliflower Rice Pilaf
Ever miss rice? I know I do. But I’ve seen numerous paleo recipes that call for grated cauliflower in place of the rice and I tell you it’s so similar it’s eerie. This recipe was born out of a love for boxed Rice-a-Roni rice pilaf mixes. Mom used to make them before we became…
Paleo Chicken with Red Wine Sauce
I figured out the key to perfect chicken breasts: cut them thin, dredge lightly, sear just to brown, and bake on a rack for just 20-25 minutes, just so a meat thermometer reads 170. The dredging adds a pleasant color and texture to the breasts, as does the browning. Searing them just until the desired…

Sweet Potato Crust Quiche with Feta
I sometimes have a hard time getting a nutritious and delicious breakfast on busy school-filled weekday mornings. Usually my breakfast is nutritious but not the most delicious. This frittata solved my problem completely. I got the idea for the filling from a baked-eggs-in-cups recipe that I made last weekend. This version makes more food and…
Paleo Salmon Patties with Veggies
Canned salmon and vegetables. Two of the most difficult-to-feed-picky-eaters foods on the planet. Even willing eaters often turn up their nose at canned salmon. The key to cooking with this canned product is disguising its fishy flavor, which can be hard when you only eat healthy foods. But put vegetables and salmon together, throw in…

No Bake Paleo Granola
So I decided it would be a good idea to make pecan-raisin coconut clusters today. I mixed up what I thought might be good in them, formed them into cute little clusters, and stuck them in the freezer. Fast forward 5 minutes, they all fell apart into this delicious granola that we can’t get…
