“Creamy” Cauliflower Soup (GF/Paleo with DF/Vegan/AIP options)
Hey look, there’s been a bit of a backlash against cauliflower because it’s showed up in so many low-carb, lower-calorie foods like cauliflower rice, cauliflower crust pizza, cauliflower tortillas, mashed cauliflower, even cauliflower crackers. I get it. While some of these substitutions taste great, others are…less great. I myself really like caulirice (I roast it!)…
Butter Board…But Better (Gluten-Free)
If you’ve dined in my home, you’ve been offered radishes with a little butter and flaky salt as a snack. It’s delicious, nutritious, and simple to set out – win, win, and win in my book (and here on this blog). If I’m hosting a party, I like to up the ante a bit and…
Savory Pancakes Part II: Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese Savory Pancakes)
Savory pancakes > sweet pancakes in my world. Then again, savory anything > sweet anything in my world, so whatever I say here is colored by that obvious bias. I’m pretty sure the ratio of savory to sweet foods on this blog is 80/20 at best. What can I say? The last meal I would choose…
Raw Tuscan Kale Salad With Chiles & Pecorino (Gluten-free)
This is now a classic kale salad, first published several years ago, back when kale salads were kinda new and weird. It’s still one of my very favorites for being simple, clean and bright, and just salty and rich enough to be memorable. It holds its own next to a beefy steak or humble roast…
(FREE) Fall Macro Reset!
With a little time and a lot of reflection, I’ve chosen to think of the time at home during the pandemic as one heck of a fascinating experiment. While some people used the time to cook healthy food and work out…many turned to comfort baking and snacking and I am here to say that there is NOTHING wrong with that. PANDEMIC…
Baked Fruit Crepe (Paleo, Primal, Gluten-Free)
Funny story, I’m currently in Aspen visiting my sister Etta and my brother-in-law Ian. I made them breakfast yesterday, thinking I was making this crepe. I know my sister loves it, and it’s still berry season, and I want to be a polite guest! I pulled the crepe from the oven, added a pat of…
Caesar Salad Dressing Two Ways (Paleo, AIP, Whole30)
I’m wrapping up a whole summer spent in Montana and reflecting on how incredibly lucky I have been to be here with my family, doing what makes me the happiest: cooking for people that I love. It’s been a dream. (Or as my dad would say, It’s been a slice of heaven.) We entertain a lot…

Zucchini Fritters (Gluten-Free/Paleo-Friendly)
This recipe gets a lot of love in August and then not much the rest of the year. Hmmm, I wonder why? (Ha.) If you’ve maxed out on your usual rotation of zucchini recipes, a savory pancake/fritter situation is deliciously worth exploring. The original recipe, at the very end of this post, is for a…
Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy (Paleo/Gluten-Free/AIP-Friendly)
You know the blank you draw at mealtimes, wondering WTH to eat? It happens to all of us. The most-proven, most-beneficial path I can offer is to start with protein and let the rest fall into place. Why protein? Because we need adequate protein for survival (to repair and generate new cells, keep skin youthful…
