chocolate-covered-almondsAlmonds are a healthy, high-protein snack that’s very low in sugars and carbs. Here’s a super-quick and easy 5-minute recipe for cocoa-covered almonds. While our Paleo ancestors may have never tasted these delicacies, they could have, since they’re 100% hunt-and-gather ingredients. It’s a great pick-me-up treat that won’t spike your blood sugar. Pure chocolate coating on these almonds will give you a small dose of Phenethylamine, the love chemical, which stimulates the nervous system and triggers the release of pleasant endorphins. Eat these babies plain, as an appetizer, dessert, sprinkle them on ice cream, or box them up as a […]

paleo-hamburgerGrass-fed burger on a coconut bun is my idea of heaven. However THIS post is all about the bun! It’s a new super-easy original recipe with coconut butter, and baked in an English muffin ring. The bun rises beautifully in the oven and slices just like a hamburger bun.

wild-halibutWild Alaskan Halibut comes from the deep waters off of the Alaska coast. It has a snowy white, firm, and flaky flesh that tastes slightly sweet. This pungent sauce adds a zesty flavor to the mild fish. Steaming is a gentle, low-temperature way to cook fish, and takes just 2-4 minutes. Blend the cilantro sauce while the fish is steaming, and dinner will be ready in minutes. I blended almost a whole bunch of cilantro in the sauce, including the stems, which makes the it a deep green color. Serves 2. Print Wild Halibut with Lime Cilantro Sauce Rating: 51 […]

Yogurt with Rhubarb Ginger Sauce

rhubarb-yogurtOK, I confess, I’m having a love affair with rhubarb. Why does it taste so irresistably luscious to me? Well, maybe it’s because I found an easy way to cook it in minutes with a bit of ginger, cinnamon and natural zero-glycemic sweetener. So far you’ve seen my Paleo Rhubarb Coffee Cake and Strawberry Rhubarb Cream Tart. However as delicious as they are, neither can rival THIS one for taste and simplicity. Rhubarb ginger sauce with yogurt makes a fantabulicious breakfast or snack. Use your favorite plain yogurt, preferably grass-fed, non-GMO, such as Greek yogurt, or any unsweetened yogurt or […]

hot-chocolate-hazelnutWhip up a hazelnut hot chocolate and it will change your whole day. My love affair with hazelnuts has gone to new heights of expression. Everyone knows that hazelnuts and chocolate are a special combination, rich and satisfying. Even better, hazelnut milk is a super-easy, high-nutrition snack. The creamy, real-food taste of homemade nut milk is so superior to expensive store-bought beverages, you’ll never want to go back. Why do we pay more for imported chemical dilutions, when we can have the original flavor in minutes? Coconut milk gives it a richer, creamier flavor. I prefer toasted hazelnuts, because they taste […]

Yogurt-herb-dressingToday’s recipe is a new discovery that combines amazing flavor with medicinal healing. Fresh lemons and limes are loaded with flavonoids which have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Pumpkin seeds contain free-radical scavenging phytosterols that boost liver function and – yes – make you feel sexy! Flaxseed oil is high in Omega-3 essential fatty acids, the “good” fats that have been shown to protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Raw garlic contains allicin, with broad-spectrum of anti-bacterial, lipid-lowering, anti-hypertension, anti-cancer, and antioxidant effects. For a high-protein boost, I used grass-fed Redwood Hill Farms Goat Yogurt, available in most […]

gravy-turkeyThis is the creamiest gravy I’ve ever tasted. And the quickest. The secret to rich gravy is organic turkey drippings, coconut milk, and arrowroot to thicken instantly. Turkey gravy doesn’t have to be hard. We don’t have to wait while mom stirs over a hot stove for an hour when everyone’s ready to dig in. There’s no roux, butter, grains, refined flour, or gmo cornstarch. Because we have blenders, something our great-grandmothers never knew! Since turkey drippings vary in thickness and flavor, adjust the quantities a bit to your taste. Makes about 3 cups thick gravy. Print Best Paleo Turkey […]

Sprouted Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

quinoa-bowlWhen I need a hot breakfast, this easy Quinoa Bowl is my go-to favorite! Quinoa is tasty, high in protein, and satisfying. An ancient Incan superfood, Quinoa (KEE-no-ah) is 100% gluten-free, loaded with iron and B-vitamins. Even better, it’s a complete protein, a rare bonus in plants. The Incans call Quinoa the “mother of all grains” and consider it a sacred food. Quinoa is technically not a grain, but rather a seed related to beets and spinach. A few Paleo folks consider it so similar to a grain that it can be mis-used, so you can decide for yourself. My rule of thumb is to soak and sprout my seeds, so they cook quicker […]

baked-rice-puddingA delicious way to turn leftover rice into an exotic high-protein breakfast, just 4 easy steps: 1) Wake up. Yawn. Turn oven on. 2) Stir 4 ingredients together. Pour over leftover rice. 3) Bake while you get dressed. 4) Yummy! That’s all there is to it. Now if you’d like to jump-start your day with even more dynamic, satisfying, nutrient-dense flavor, consider using sprouted brown rice, available in most healthy groceries. I was surprised to learn that a team of Japanese scientists recently discovered a vast nutritional superiority in sprouted brown rice. They found that germinating brown rice greatly enhances its already high nutritient value. Sprouted (germinated) brown rice has more fiber, […]

Fuji & Fennel Smoothie

fuji-fennel-smoothieDetoxifying and refreshing with a hint of sweet licorice, here’s a great use for those feathery fennel greens. High in anti-oxidants, vitamin-C, and bioflavonoids, fennel’s exotic flavor comes from the essential oil anethole, also found in anise and licorice. Fuji apples are pleasantly sweet, and relatively low in sugar, so this smoothie will be kind to your blood sugar. I suggest warm water in smoothies for quicker and smoother digestion, instead of fruit juices which are high in sugars and make the body more acidic. This recipe is super-flexible, so let your imagination go wild! Oh, and fresh ginger root is an […]

Sprouted Hummus, Original Lebanese Recipe

$
0
0
hummus-sideWe think of hummus as a healthy snack, a staple of the Middle Eastern diet. But how healthy is store-bought hummus? Every Lebanese grandmother knows how to make authentic hummus with sprouted chick peas. Traditional soaking and sprouting makes beans sweet, digestible, healthy, and quick to cook. Soaking and sprouting dissolves the indigestible natural coatings on beans. Unfortunately, modern fast food preparation often skips this essential step. The sad results are intestinal gas, indigestion, and poor nutrient absorption. Natural phytate, a non-digestible coating on beans and seeds, blocks absorption of iron, zinc, calcium and other important minerals. Phytates are a leading cause of bad digestion, anemia, and immune […]

Paleo Guacamole, Nightshade-free

guacamoleMy favorite avocado snack is usually made with tomatoes, cayenne, and jalapeños. So here’s a traditional Mexican recipe without them. Nightshade vegetables are a common allergen (tomatoes, peppers, white potatoes, eggplant). Some of our most popular foods contain nightshades, like pizza, potato chips, and salsa. But they’re notorious for causing digestive problems in about 35% of humans, particularly Caucasians. Nightshades work slowly, their negative effects often delayed by weeks, months, or years, causing intestinal perforations, tiny holes in the delicate mucosal lining, which can lead to leaky gut or auto-immune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Type 1 Diabetes, Crohn’s disease, Grave’s disease, Celiac disease, and Multiple sclerosis. Many doctors don’t consider nightshades as […]

spinach-walnut-dipWhat’s the life force in your food? Here’s a quick and easy dip that’s bursting with flavor and nutrients, like a creamy, fresh pesto. Life force isn’t easy to measure, however we all know instinctively that fresh foods have Qi and processed foods do not. Yes, that’s true – freshly harvested veggies, meats, and nuts are very high in life force. Whereas processed, heat treated, canned, frozen, refined, and GMO foods have much less life force. Many of the foods on our grocery shelves have negligible life force, so why do we waste time and money on them? However this delicious dip is exploding with life. I love crunchy textures (like chips), but now […]
