    Spaghetti Squash Breakfast Casserole

    Spaghetti Squash Breakfast Casserole Recipe   My favorite stoneware can be found here: www.pamperedchef.biz/katiwoods I am ALWAYS looks for some way to pack vegetables into our mornings. We are notorious around here for a strictly bacon and eggs breakfast. This spaghetti squash breakfast casserole does just that! With six different vegetables and protein it is the perfect paleo breakfast! This dish can be cooked the night before, cooled and refrigerated so that it can easily be sliced and reheated in the mornings! Ingredients: 1 Spaghetti squash 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (ground pork works fine) 2 cups chopped fresh bell peppers 1/4 cup chopped red onions 1 cup chopped mushroom (OPTIONAL)…

    Crockpot Salsa Verde Pork Loin

    Salsa verde pork loin recipe! My friend was telling me about this super simple, delicious meal that she prepares for her family and I knew I had to try it! I used four ingredients, but you really could use only two and have it turn out fantastic! This would be an excellent main course for those who are pressed for time. It worked beautifully in my crockpot, but I am sure you could easily cook it in a pot on the stove on low. I added fresh, roasted green chilies and cumin to mine. If you would like to see the video about how to roast fresh green chilies CLICK…

    Supreme Pizza Smoked Fatty!

    Supreme Pizza Smoked Fatty Recently my husband bought a smoker and started to learn everything he could about smoking. For almost 5 weekends in a row we have had smoking parties and smoked every kind of meat we could think of. While on a few smoking sites we ran across fatties. Our imagination went wild with all the things we could stuff in ground meat and wrap in bacon. This is the first one we tried and it was a HUGE hit! This thing tastes just like a supreme pizza! I was really surprised how easy it actually is to put together! It takes a bit of time, but it…

    Easy Paleo Mayonnaise!

    Easy Paleo Mayonnaise Mayonnaise is one of those food items that I crave, but unfortunately store-bought mayo is usually made with canola oil and is not a healthy option for Paleo eaters! I was so worried about how long it would take or failing miserably that it was months before I even attempted to make mayonnaise! One day I decided to try it, assuming I would fail, and to my surprise it was so easy I could not believe I waited so long to try it!  I found a recipe online and converted it to a Paleo version the best I could.

    Avocado Chicken Salad

    Avocado Chicken Salad In our house we have two favorites: chicken thighs and avocado. I was really looking for a way to make a Paleo friendly chicken salad to put into lettuce wraps, but all the recipes had mayonnaise in them. I still wanted the creamy texture of chicken salad so I decided to mash-up avocado with chicken and it was a total hit! I could eat this stuff right out of the bowl! This Avocado Chicken Salad is an ultimate summer salad and is so refreshing and delicious! Here is the recipe for the Avocado Chicken Salad we made: [wp_ad_camp_2] Ingredients: 1 whole avocado (Remove pit and dice) 2…

    Paleo in Portland

    Paleo In Portland We had a fantastic trip to Portland on our 9 day 10 year anniversary road trip! We were lucky enough to find some wonderful, Paleo friendly restaurants in Northeast Portland that I am dying to tell you about! These are likely not perfect Paleo (with the exception of Cultured Caveman), but they work really well. 1. Wilder Bar & Cafe This place was our #1 favorite place on our whole 9-day trip. They don’t advertise to be Paleo friendly, but I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with Chef Wes and he fully understands Paleo and went out of his way to create the most amazing, tasteful, Paleo…

    Paleo Shepherd’s Pie

    Paleo Shepherd’s Pie Ah, Shepherd’s Pie. Shepherd’s Pie, also known as Cottage Pie, is traditionally an English dish made with lamb or mutton and topped with potatoes. We changed it up a bit to fit our diet and found it to be equally as satisfying. Spices are key in this dish. The recipe below is really modest with the spices. If you are like us and LOVE spices and tons of flavor, experiment and add more! This dish looks really complicated, but I assure you, it is not. This really is a Paleo comfort food! It is still cold here in Montana and this dish really hit the spot for…

    Paleo Meal Plan Week 2

    Paleo meal plan week two! The readers of PoorPaleo.com asked for a meal plan and this is our response! Our family is big on simple, easy, inexpensive Paleo meals that our whole family will eat. You won’t find a lot of “Paleo-fied” breads, muffins, or desserts because I don’t always have time to make these and I really think these should be classified as treats when they ARE made. A lot of readers ask me if my kids eat the foods that I feature here. The short answer is yes. In our house I (Jennifer) am the one and only grocery shopper and meal preparer. Basically if I don’t want…

    Paleo Fajitas!

    My husband and I try to cook on the grill every weekend. We cook enough to eat for the entire week and incorporate into our dinner and lunch meals. This weekend we grilled some seasoned skirt steak to slice up for Fajitas! We also use the same skirt steak in our omelets and to top our salads with! I use either Montreal Steak Seasoning (Not super Paleo) or Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute to season our beef with! This is a simple and easy to put together meal that we eat often because we loved traditional fajitas! Paleo Fajitas Ingredients:  Grilled skirt steak or other flat piece of beef. Guacamole…
