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…
Try a Free Meal Plan! Souvlaki, Fish Tacos, Stuffed Zucchini, and More! (Paleo/AIP/Whole30)
OK friends, since it’s back-to-school season and I know you’re all working your butts off to get yourselves into fall (aka reality) mode, I’m giving you a free week of Project Vibrancy Meals meal plans. You know that I love – LOVE – sharing recipes here with you on Fresh Tart. Nothing makes me happier than…
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…
Pasta Pesto Salad (Gluten-free)
Pasta salad? Not exactly paleo, but bear with me. I know many of you – even those who follow AIP – have reintroduced occasional gluten-free grains. I have! Small servings of rice or occasionally brown rice pasta are a nice change of pace. And really, is there anything more convenient to take to a party? I’ve…
Kimchi Fried Rice
I first posted this dish before I embarked on the adventure of the autoimmune protocol (AIP), an elimination diet for healing and uncovering food sensitivities that eliminates most of the elements of this dish: eggs, nightshades (including chiles), seeds (sesame), soy (tamari), and grains (rice). I’m happy to report that I can occasionally enjoy all…
Thanksgiving 2016 Menu
I taught my Paleo Thanksgiving class at Kitchen in the Market last Friday and wanted to share the recipes with you all. I LOVE Thanksgiving, every single part of it. Planning, shopping, cooking on my own ahead of time and then with the gang on the big day, setting the table, being with my family,…
Chicken Skewers with Chopped Cucumber, Arugula, & Olives (Paleo, AIP)
Hello from Boulder, Colorado. I’ve just arrived and I’m staying for at least a month. It was a rather last minute decision that had been brewing for awhile, if that makes sense. For the last couple of years, I’d been pondering the fact that because Nathan is in college, and because my work is relatively…
Pressure Cooker (or Braised) Pork Carnitas and Roasted Cauliflower Rice (Paleo, AIP)
Happy Monday! As I chat with people about the obstacles of adopting a real food lifestyle, I’ve come to realize that one of the biggest is the fear of standing out and/or annoying people. Which is totally legitimate, I’ve had those same concerns. It’s comforting and useful to be a peacekeeper. But conformity has its…
Sweet & Tangy Broccoli Salad (Paleo, AIP-friendly)
Tonight is National Night Out and given that Minneapolis often ranks number one in participation, you may very well be attending a neighborhood block party this evening. If so, I have just the salad for you, a real crowd pleaser that comes together quickly and stays crunchy and appealing on a buffet. You might recognize…
Roasted Cauliflower “Couscous” (AIP, Paleo)
This side dish is a twist on the couscous salad that changed my life. For years, my go-to potluck contribution was a couscous salad, loaded with roasted vegetables, dried fruit, cheese, and nuts. It doesn’t wilt on a buffet and pairs well with barbecued meats and other salads. I made it for my own parties,…
