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…
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…
Easy Gluten-Free Pizza for Indoor or Outdoor Ovens
We are a thin crust pizza family which has made it pretty easy for me to keep everyone happy with gluten-free pizzas. Especially since 1) I spent this fall and winter playing with a fast, fool-proof pizza crust, and 2) we got a small pizza oven in anticipation of a deck expansion and hard-wired propane…
Chicken Sheet Pan with Vegetables & Balsamic Glaze (Paleo, AIP, Whole30) and Boosting Immunity
I hope this blog post looks incredibly dated in a short period of time. In the face of COVID-19 making itself known in the US and around the world, I wanted to share my tips for staying healthy during cold/flu season. It likely won’t surprise you that I put my focus on nutrient density. But what does that mean?…
Swedish Meatballs (Paleo, Primal, AIP, Whole30)
I had such terrific Swedish Meatballs last week (at Travail’s pop-up Uffda, lasting just a few more weeks, you should go!) that I was inspired to revisit this recipe, which I first published several years ago. I decided to update the meatballs to be Paleo, AIP, and Whole30-compliant so everyone can enjoy them! It was a verrrrry…
Sunday Bolognese (Primal, Gluten-Free)
I am FINALLY posting my most-teased recipe of all time. I’ve been posting #sundaybolo posts on Instagram stories for years and while I’ve shared the recipe with friends and family, I’ve never shared it here. Before I dive in to the recipe, let me take a step back and say hello! How are you? I haven’t blogged…
Coffee-Rubbed Steak (Paleo/Whole30)
How do you throw together last minute meals? (And why are they always so good? I think it’s because of the adventure of winging it – a little risk is super delicious, in life and food.) I kayaked on Lake Harriet a couple of weeks ago with my friend Eric Tollefson and while we knew…
Summer Barbecue Menus (Paleo/AIP)
Hellooooo July 4th Partiers! Yeah, I’m even talking to you AIPers and those on an elimination diet. I would argue that if you’re 1) working on your health, 2) trying to uncover food sensitivities, 3) addressing an autoimmune disease, or 4) trying to lose weight, it’s MORE important than ever to entertain and socialize. Deciding…
Pork, Apple & Chard Meatballs (Paleo/AIP/Whole30)
So many meatballs, so little time. That could be the tagline for this blog. 😂 The reason I sing their praises often: meatballs are awesome. Straight off the pan, submerged in sauce or gravy, nestled into noodles (even the grain-free types), swiped through a snappy condiment, anchoring a bowl of soup, or rolled up in…
Easy Slow-Baked Ribs to Finish on the Grill (Paleo, AIP)
Photo by Cory Shubert I’m not going to lie: that’s one of my very favorite photos of myself, baha. Not many things I love more than cooking a pile o’meat, for friends, with a tan, in a sundress. The rib recipe pictured above is my old faithful standby. It’s technically not paleo and it’s not one…
