Slow Cooker Pepperoni Pizza Chicken and the Eggplant Parmesan Bomb (Primal)

  Ok, this one contains dairy. If you can’t handle it, please just look away now instead of tempting yourself! Also, please accept my apologies in advance. I have been receiving requests for recipes involving cheese lately, and I finally let a personal craving push me over the recipe-creating edge. The result is a ridiculously…

Paleo Slow Cooker Red & Yellow Pepper Marinara Sauce

  So many people I speak with tell me about their love/hate relationship with pasta. They miss it since going Paleo. They go back and eat it from time to time, only to learn later that their body does not enjoy it as much as their mouth does. Then comes the point where they finally…

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…

Pomegranate-Apple Paleo Short Ribs

  Pomegranate short ribs. Indeed. I had a fan challenge me to cook something using pomegranate, and this is my result. This one definitely came out a home run and is also super easy. Most recipes for ribs are not paleo-friendly as they require the use of molasses or honey, yet this recipe only has…
