Well, it’s Day 9 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox! I’ve had tons of energy lately and my appetite has been awesome (hungry at meals, not hungry in between)! I’m also finding out all the amazing ways you can cook with a green banana (I’m currently perfecting a 21DSD chocolate chip cookie recipe with green…
21DSD Beef and “Rice” Burrito Bowls + 21DSD day 2 updates
Yesterday was day two on my first-ever 21 Day Sugar Detox; I started on January 4 and I am loving it so far. Now I can’t say that I am not craving chocolate (and cheese; who am I kidding), and it is really hard for me not to nosh on cashews; they’re my favorite nut…
Paleo Lo Mein
This recipe is really quite easy; especially if you buy pre-chopped veggies. The pure flavors of Chinese lo mein are recreated in this recipe without noodles, soy or even sesame oil, which can be damaged by cooking. This lo mein is so delicious, and it was the best breakfast I’ve had in forever. And yes…
Italian-Inspired Paleo Beef Stew (Beef Stew 101)
I am posting this recipe by request after I made it for a potluck this last Friday. I am very glad for the chance to post it because it gives me the chance to educate you guys on proper stew-making! Sorry there’s no pic; It was all eaten up before I could take one! I…
Paleo Chicken Curry
For my birthday, Mom and I went to this amazing Thai restaurant in Madison and porked out on their to-die-for chicken curry. I wasn’t originally aiming to replicate it when I made up this recipe, but it tastes almost exactly like it! I love this curry because it’s easy and it doesn’t have non-staple ingredients…

Paleo Grilled Chicken with Italian Marinade
Last night Dad said I could create the marinade for our grilled chicken. I was in the mood for Italian, so I made a marinade recipe based off of Mom’s Italian Dressing recipe. The chicken breasts marinaded for a couple hours and Dad grilled them up on the gas grill. The resulting chicken breasts were…
Paleo Mexican Casserole
This takeoff of my Pizza Casserole recipe gave me my easy enchilada fix! I used to make paleo enchiladas with egg crepes as tortillas, but boy that was a lot of work! I thought that maybe I could make an enchilada casserole with an enchilada filling instead of my original pizza filling. Julia pronounced…
Simple Asian Chicken Salad

And I’ll bet you have all the ingredients in your pantry! Enjoy! Simple Asian Chicken Salad Recipe Type: Main Author: Heather Resler Prep time: 10 mins…
Paleo Pizza Casserole
For the longest time I’ve wanted a paleo beef casserole recipe. But it’s been hard to come by because of the fact that the family is VERY picky and that potatoes are not paleo. But the idea struck me yesterday that perhaps I could make a pizza casserole, with the fillings underneath an “Oopsie Bun”…
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…
Paleo Beef Patties with Mushroom Wine Sauce
You could call this a marriage between chicken marsala and salisbury steak. I came up with this recipe after just feeling so bored today with ground beef – but no more! My dad’s exact words at the dinner table: “This is great!” Enough said! Paleo Beef Patties with Mushroom Wine Sauce Recipe Type: Main…
