Spicy "peanut" "noodles" and zucchini fritters...
You can paleo-ize anything. But sometimes it requires a lot of quotation marks. On tonight’s menu: Thai spicy “peanut” “noodles” (one of my favorite dishes), and fried zucchini fritters with an onion-chili “jam”—paleo style.
There are a lot of substitutes for pasta in the paleo world. Cauliflower stands in nicely for rice, and spaghetti squash...
Some recipes are keepers.
Re-running this recipe tonight. Adding cinnamon, oregano, celery, and a dash of fish sauce, beefing up the chocolate chip ratio, omitting bay leaves (because I simply don’t have any), and subbing a sweet potato for the acorn squash because TJ’s had NO winter squash today. (WHAT?!) While the jury is still out, I CAN tell you that it smells incredible in my kitchen right now....
Indian-ish stuffed peppers and Beet-carrot salad
Tonight on the menu: Stuffed peppers with Indian-themed spices, roasted beet and carrot salad, and, because I didn’t think the beet greens would last another day in the fridge, sauteed beet greens. Beet salad first.

1 T. olive oil
3 T. + 1/3 c. balsamic vinegar
1 T. dijon mustard

I got a food dehydrator for Christmas. I’m excited about dried...
Coconut-Cherry Paleo Gelato
WOOOO! So an angel of the LORD… er, I mean a dear friend of mine, gave me an ice cream maker for Christmas!
How excited am I? (Very. The answer is very.) I took it for its inaugural spin today, making paleo gelato. Dairy-free, sugar-free, and yet still super delicious.
Ingredients:
2 14 oz. cans of full fat coconut milk (Don’t buy the lite version.)
8 egg yolks

Asian-inspired salmon with sauteed brussel sprouts
I’ve really been falling down on the job lately! But I’m back and inspired, I promise. Tonight I made salmon with my go-to salmon marinade, which relies heavily on asian-inspired flavors. Having a food processor makes this super fast. Simply toss all the ingredients in the processor, combine them, and pour over salmon to marinate for 30-60 minutes.
Ingredients:
juice of 1 orange
