In general, meatballs are my nemesis, but I really wanted to make a Mediterranean inspired main dish to accompany my Paleo Tabouli and Roasted Cauliflower Hummus. I started with fresh herbs and some beautiful Moink ground lamb. After combining the herbs and meat, I formed the meatballs, coated them in arrowroot powder and pan fried…

Lemon Chicken Soup (Paleo, Whole30)
I’m so glad the weather is turning cooler, because I love soup! A protein, some veggies, a bit of fat and an acid for brightness…and voila…the perfect belly warming meal in a bowl. This Lemon Chicken Soup doesn’t have a huge backstory, it’s just a combination of some of my favorite things…onions, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli,…
Paleo Greek Lamb Meatballs (Paleo, Whole30)

Instant Pot Stuffed Cabbage (Holubtsi) Stew (Whole30, Paleo)
My mother’s side of the family is from Ukraine. They emigrated to the US after World War II, and with them they brought many of their family food traditions. Stuffed cabbage (holubtsi) is one of those traditions. I can remember making them as a child with my mother and grandmother. My mother making the meat…
Slow Cooker Chicken & Herb Soup (Paleo, Whole30)
I love soup! Especially in the fall and winter. But sometimes I don’t have the time to stand over the stove and give a pot of soup the love it deserves. Sometimes I have just enough time to throw some ingredients into my slow cooker (i.e. crock pot) in the morning, so that I can…
Roasted Cauliflower Hummus (Vegan, Paleo, Whole30)
If you’re fancy, it’s called crudites. If you’re me, it’s a veggie platter. Either way, I’m a fan of huge, colorful platters of sliced or whole raw vegetables served with a magical, creamy dipping sauce. The dipping sauce and vegetable combinations are endless…but less so if you can’t or choose not to eat legumes/beans….
Instant Pot Soft or Hard Boiled Eggs
Whether you need an easily portable breakfast, a quick snack or a crowd pleasing holiday appetizer (deviled eggs anyone?)…look no further than the unassuming soft/hard boiled egg! It’s all these things and so much more. Which is why I make at least a dozen every week (as part of my weekly #sundayfunday meal prep) using…
Creamy Mushroom Soup (Whole30, Paleo)
I’m proud to admit that my little blog already has a few very dedicated followers. (You know who you are, and I appreciate your support!!) My Mom, however, is my biggest fan by far. And Mom LOVES soup And now that the weather has turned, it’s time to make some soups! This dairy free Creamy Mushroom…
Egg Roll Meatballs (Paleo, Whole30)
One of my husband’s favorite Whole30 recipes is Whole30 Egg Roll in a Bowl. He literally asks for it by name! And it’s one of the dishes that I always recommend to Whole30 newbies because it proves that Whole30/Paleo foods can be exotic, flavorful and delicious. Seriously, what’s not to love about a deconstructed egg…
Creamy Zucchini and Broccolini Soup (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
Making soup is one of my favorite things to do when the weather turns cool. And I always make huge batches so I can give some to my mom (she loves soup more than I do!) and still have enough for myself for the week. The best part about soup is that I can make…
