Fig, Blueberry, Balsamic Jam
I love summer; if you know me, you already know this. I love the long days and the warm nights. I love the heat. I love swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and general lounging in rivers and lakes. I love camping and road trips. And I love the food- the stone fruits, summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes,…
Red Wine Beef Stew
This is a favorite of mine. It reminds me of cold nights with the kids and friends, trips to the beach and the mountains; it’s the ultimate comfort food. What meat eater doesn’t love stewed meat? It’s easy, feeds a crowd, and feels a little fancy. I adapted it from a braised short rib recipe…
Creamy Bacon Potato Kale Soup
I loved clam chowder as a kid; I still do now. I hated the clams though and developed this potato bacon chowder when my kids were young- it was one of those dishes that my family and friends knew I made well and was always a treat in our house. It’s special, but easy enough…
Thai Red Pepper Almond Sauce
This dip came to being by accident. Over the years, a friend of mine had made and shared a couple different recipes- one for a peanut sauce and one for a red pepper dip; both are amazing. In my quest to find paleo appetizers, I remembered that peanut sauce which for some reason I thought…
Pozole-ish (paleo, whole30)
At the start of our Whole30 this month I really wanted Pozole and started looking around for paleo recipes. It’s everything you want in a winter dish, warm and hearty, with the rich chili broth, tender chunks of port, and the crunchy spice of fresh cabbage and jalapenos on top. I’ve made it before but…
Paleo Porridge
As a long time cereal eater, this hearty porridge helped me through my first whole30 and although I don’t make it often, it’s always a treat. It’s super versatile for a variety of diets- whole30, paleo, keto, vegan. It’s not sweet, but you could easily add banana or dates (whole30), maple syrup (vegan, paleo), honey,…
Meatless Meatball Stroganoff
First off, this was so. good. Like surprisingly good. I’ve been obsessing over mushrooms lately and using dinner with my vegetarian kids as an inspiration to make meat-free meals on occasion. This time I used meatless meatballs that I got at Trader Joes, but think I will try a recipe for paleo vegetarian meatballs next…
Vegetarian Chili
I’m not a vegan, or a vegetarian. I don’t follow any diet explicitly. I try to keep to a mostly paleo diet because that’s when I feel my best, but I love cheese and crackers and chips and salsa. I just try and make sure I eat veggies every day and avoid grains, dairy, and…
