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…
Deviled Eggs Two Ways (Paleo, Vegetarian, Whole30)
I never go to a party empty handed…even when the host/hostess tell us not to bring anything! One of my favorite things to bring is deviled eggs because they easy to make, are always a fan favorite and they can be made Paleo/Whole30! To mix things up a bit, I recently made these Deviled Eggs Two…
Lemony Broccolini (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
Most people are familiar with broccoli, and broccoli rabe, but broccolini is relatively new to US markets…per Wikipedia it only became available in the US in 1998 and it took some time after that for it to be widely available. This explains why my Mom never made if for me growing up and why she…
Baba Ganoush (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
My husband had NO idea what I was making when I told him that I planned to make Baba Ganoush for a friend’s party. But he was very pleasantly surprised when he realized that it’s a delicious, creamy bean-less hummus (I didn’t tell him that it’s made with eggplant because he thinks he doesn’t like…

Traditional Spicy Guacamole (Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole30)
A few years ago Santa brought me this lovely traditional Mexican malcajete. It’s made out of lava stone and it’s primarily used to grind herbs, spices or grains…and is perfect for making salsa or my Traditional Spicy Guacamole. Why does it make the perfect salsa and guacamole??? Because when you use the pestle to crush…
Sweet Potato Hummus (Paleo, Whole30, Vegan)
After several rounds of Whole30, it became clear to me that beans are NOT my friend. I’m sure you can guess why! So, that meant that I also had to give up hummus (which I LOVE!!). You can only imagine how excited I got when I saw ‘sweet potato hummus’ on the menu at a…
