Review: Step By Step Paleo
Today I have the pleasure of reviewing a unique and awesome guide to getting started with the paleo diet called Step By Step Paleo, written by Ruth of Paleo Diet Basics. If you are ready to get started with eating a paleo diet but aren’t sure where to begin, this is the perfect guide for you.
Eat Your Veggies: Easy Wilted Baby Spinach Recipe
Cooked leafy greens have been a staple in my diet since I first went paleo in 2010. This is an extremely simple recipe, and one that I make several days a week. It is an easy way to get a ton of nutrition and can be eaten with any meal of the day. I frequently include it as a side dish with eggs and/or bacon for breakfast. Freshly wilted baby spinach is tender, mild, and one of my favorite side dishes. If you are new to including cooked greens in your diet, this is a great recipe to start with. I hope you enjoy it!
Paleo, Grain-Free Apple Crisp
This is a recipe for a paleo-friendly apple crisp. I’ve got recipes for both a grain-free and a nut-free version. Have a holiday party coming up? This is a perfect dish to bring along to share.
Paleo-friendly Hot Buttered Rum or Coffee
Looking for the perfect paleo-friendly cocktail for your holiday gatherings? This recipe for hot buttered rum will please everyone at the party. Plus, there’s an option for a non-alcoholic hot buttered coffee, so nobody is left out. Enjoy!
Paleo Plantain Flour Pancakes
I have tried a LOT of gluten-free/paleo pancake recipes, and I think that plantain flour pancakes are my new favorite. They have a lovely savory flavor, a pleasant, fluffy texture, and they are super easy to handle in the frying pan. Bonus: there is a variation for an egg-free, autoimmune paleo-friendly version here that uses gelatin. Whichever version you make, you will enjoy these!
Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger and Ham
This is a flavorful butternut squash soup featuring ham or bacon and ginger, and is hearty enough to be a one-pot meal. It’s easy to make a large batch that will give you plenty for leftovers plus extras to freeze for later, to save you time in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Aji Amarillo Spiced Ground Beef & Veggie Hash
This is a Peruvian influenced quick and easy ground beef dish featuring the hot pepper aji amarillo and a unique blend of spices that will be sure to please. It’s easy to make a big pot to have leftovers and it also freezes well if you like to batch cook. You can substitute another locally-sourced chile pepper or other favorite pepper if you like.
Pumpkin Pie-Spiced Baked Ripe Plantains or Bananas
I am not one for Paleo-ified cookies, cakes, and other pastries, but I LOVE making a truly Paleo dessert out of fruit. This recipe uses either very ripe plantains or ripe bananas and is bursting with flavors that scream "Fall is here!"
Tostones (Twice-Fried Green Plantains)
Tostones, twice-fried green plantains, are a traditional side dish in many countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. They are a great Paleo/Real Food safe starch option when cooked in a healthy fat like lard, bacon grease, coconut oil, ghee, or palm shortening. They are a versatile side dish that goes well with just about anything, from eggs, to meats, or just paired with avocado slices as a quick snack. This is a picture tutorial recipe with a printable version at the end of the post. Enjoy!
