Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes with PecansYou can make these crunchy (due to the surprise of the cacao nibs), moist Paleo gems with the pecans on top as written. Or frost them with your favorite Paleo frosting. Either way, you'll have a hard time keeping them in the house!
Paleo Chocolate No-Bake “Cheesecake”This recipe is almost verbatim from Kelsey Ale's cookbook, Paleo Sweets, and is dairy- and gluten-free. I took it to my Qigong teacher's farewell practice (Boo Hoo ... she's moving to Portland) in the park near the Rose Bowl (yes, I live near there!). It was devoured! Can you guess what the filling is (besides the tons of chocolate)? Bet you can't ...
Dairy Free Cream of Chicken Soup MixMissing cream soup? This gut-healing soup mix is gluten- and dairy-free and leaning on Paleo. Just add water and your own ingredients and eat it up FOR REAL! Makes great gravy too!
Steak and Black Bean BurritosSteak and Black Bean Burritos is my take on a September 2018 Better Homes and Gardens recipe ... with the Refried Black Beans (see here) made previously and this incredibly easy pan-fried spice-rubbed steak.
Refried Black BeansI LOVE black beans … especially refried black beans. And I know they’re not traditional Mexican … but they taste a lot more earthy and flavorful than their pinto bean counterparts.
And rather than grabbing yet another can at Whole Foods, I decided this time to make my own beans from dried. They're obviously a bit more labor-intensive, but worth every bit of prep.
Slow Cooker Spaghetti and MeatballsWho doesn't love and often crave comfort-food spaghetti and meatballs on a regular basis. This terrific recipe is almost verbatim from one of my all-time fave online Gluten-Free resources, Nicole Hunn of glutenfreeonashoestring.com. Who adapted it from Fine Cooking.
