Tabouli (Tabbouleh) is a dish that I discovered later in life, about the same time I discovered hummus and my love for all things Mediterranean. The fresh salads, herbs and olives…oh my! In my pre-Paleo days I made traditional tabouli, with bulgur wheat. But now, I make my Paleo Tabouli with a slight twist in…

Mushroom and Green Bean Sheet Pan (Whole30, Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian)
I can’t believe it took me so long to discover the magic that is sheet pan cooking! A few ingredients, tossed on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and baked at 400 F for 30 minutes makes for a quick and easy side dish to help feed a crowd. Or make it on the weekend…
Sweet and Spicy Mango Salsa (Whole30, Paleo)
At any gathering of family or friends, the food table always includes two things…salsa and a bag of corn chips. Whether it’s Super Bowl Sunday, a summer BBQ or a birthday party, there is always a bowl of salsa. It usually comes from a jar…or maybe a plastic tub…but once in a blue moon someone…
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….
Spice Roasted Acorn Squash (Whole30, Paleo)
A friend recently told me that I had to try acorn squash…so of course I ran right out and bought two despite having very little idea of what to do with them! Knowing only that they were slightly sweet, and that the skin is edible when roasted, I did the most logical thing…I sliced them…
Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce (Whole30, Paleo)
Are you Team Canned Cranberry Sauce or Team Homemade Cranberry Sauce? We always had the canned version on the table at the holidays, but I was never a fan. So this season I decided to make homemade cranberry sauce with the help of my trusty Instant Pot! Of course, making the sauce slightly sweet without…
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…
Cashew Alfredo Sauce (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
A non-diary Alfredo sauce is something that I needed in my Whole30/Paleo life. But I struggled to find a recipe on-line that I loved. So I decided to create my own and I think it’s perfect. It’s creamy, nutty and bright…and perfect on zucchini or spaghetti squash! Be sure to make a double batch because…
Cucumber and Tomato Salad (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
I love cucumbers, particularly English cucumbers that have smaller seeds. I love using them to eat (aka shovel) my favorite dips (my Baba Ganoush or my Sweet Potato Hummus), sliced in water or tossed into salads. This salad celebrates the crisp and refreshing cucumber as it’s focal point! Made with just a few ingredients, it’s a great salad to accompany any…
Sesame Seasoned Kale (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
Kale…it’s on my shopping list nearly every week! It contains vitamins A, C and K plus minerals and healthy fatty acids… and goes well in everything from soup to salad! I always buy my kale on the stem, so that I can de-stem it myself (I’ve tried the pre-washed, bagged kale, but the bags are always…
