This yummy recipe is from Jessica Espinoza and Delicious Obsessions. Whipped Honey Cinnamon Butter (using Coconut and Ghee) is one of her favorites from hundreds on her site. Jessica shared this in our podcast interview about her passion for cooking, her struggles with weight and Hashimoto's, and the evolution of her great blog. Like me, Jessica can tolerate ghee but no other dairy. Whipping ghee and coconut ... Keep Reading >

Grilled Summer Squash with Olive Oil Marinade
Grilled summer squash with olive oil marinade is easy and flavorful. Squash are soft and fleshy enough to absorb smoke flavor, but contain plenty of water to keep them moist. Slice them lengthwise to give more surface area to cook quickly without getting soggy. Serve them hot from the grill, or make in advance to serve at room temperature. Experiment with flavors by varying the herbs and the type of olive oil you use. Just ... Keep Reading >

Gluten Free Chicken Cutlets
These gluten free chicken cutlets are one of my all-time favorites to make on short notice. The combo of lemon juice, rosemary and olives is very savory! I actually prefer this with turkey thigh meat, so I buy turkey thighs whenever I can find them. You'll get about 1 1/4 pounds of turkey meat from 3 pounds of turkey thighs. Remove the meat from the bones and freeze it, and you'll have it ready in the freezer to cook this anytime. The meat ... Keep Reading >
Vegetable Roll Ups and Wrappers
Sometimes you just want to eat with your hands. If you're not a baker, and don't have the budget for almond flour or Paleo breads, these vegetable roll ups and wrappers will do the job just fine. The goal is to transport food to your mouth using no forks and maybe no plate. A well-made wrap or a nice flat vegetable base you can pile food on can be packed in a lunch box and eaten with a napkin. So, two bases: ones that ... Keep Reading >
Paleo Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp and Basil
If you don't have a Zyliss Julienne Peeler yet, you'll want to get one just for these. Paleo Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp and Basil is a long name, but the cooking is really easy. Great for Gluten Free meals too. How does it work? You might not see it in the picture below, but the peeler has a row of little blades that cut the vegetable into thin strips as you go. (Note: this tool is not for kids as the blades are sharp). I got mine for ... Keep Reading >

Paleo Pureed Cauliflower
A recipe has to be super-easy for me to include it on my website. This Paleo Pureed Cauliflower is my go-to food for a potato replacement. This is satisfying and filling, and easy to eat quickly. I can eat half a cauliflower in minutes! Sometimes I make this with half broccoli although it won't taste like potatoes. I often make 2 heads at one time so I can freeze a batch for later. Foods with no texture freeze the best. ... Keep Reading >
My Dad’s Cheese Eggs
My Dad's cheese eggs were a staple on Sunday mornings. He used one of those "new-fangled" microwave ovens to cook the bacon. That works fine but I prefer not having one in my home. Sometimes he'd make waffles or buckwheat pancakes, but I was always happier with protein and fat, even then. An early Paleo girl for sure! Like most of my easy recipes for Gluten Free or Paleo cooking, these are simple to adapt and easy enough for anyone. Even ... Keep Reading >
Paleo Carrot Zucchini Fritters
I've been in the mood for carrots lately, but steamed or roasted was too boring. So I shredded some carrots, tossed in some shredded zucchini, and made these Paleo Carrot Zucchini Fritters instead! If potato pancakes come to mind, you're on the right track, except for the lack of potatos and flour! This is a gluten free recipe and low-starch too. The trick, as anyone latke fan will tell you, is to get the moisture out of the veggies ... Keep Reading >
Oven-Roasted Pumpkin and Squash
Oven roasted pumpkin and squash puree make great Paleo breads, muffins and pancakes. Make an oven full of winter squashes at one time, and freeze the puree for later.
