Slow Cooker Mexican Cauliflower Rice (no ricing required)
If you are new to Paleo, you might not have noticed that we quite often use cauliflower as a substitute for rice. Cauliflower has a greater nutritional profile, a lower glycemic index, and most people just plain feel better when eating it opposed to rice. These are all positive things. The only negative about…
Paleo Slow Cooker Chicken Pad Thai with Veggie Noodles
This recipe has been brewing in my head for a while now and I finally got around to trying it. I’ve long had a theory that if you nested veggie noodles on top of a liquid base in a slow cooker that they would steam cook nicely, without turning to mush. I can now…

After whipping up another killer pulled pork & sauce recipe this week, I decided to give pulled chicken with a sauce a try. This is the result.

This is a recipe where you have to hang in the kitchen for about 20 minutes to cook it, but at the same time it doesn’t require that much attention….
Slow Cooker Tacos Al Pastor (pineapple chile pork)
You’ll want to open your own taco truck… How can you go wrong with a marinade of pineapple and chili peppers? I’ve been craving this recipe ever since I had a taste from a taco truck years ago. I’m sorry for making you dirty up your food processor or blender to make this one, but…
Paleo Crock Pot Chicken Wings – 5 Different Flavor Recipes
Wings. That is all. Why should I cook my chicken wings in my slow cooker you may ask? Well, because they are fall of the bone good and different than crispy wings. Different is good sometimes. Chances are you don’t have a fryer at home, so that limits you to baking your wings in the…
