Simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are a delicious, simple to prepare, nutrient dense vegetable — they are my husband’s favorite! The trick to making mouth-watering Brussels sprouts is to roast them, not boil or steam them. This brings out their rich, nutty flavor — no fancy ingredients required. All you need is fat, salt, and pepper and you will have an amazing side dish in about a half hour!

Cooking With Coconut Oil – Review!
Today I am excited to review the GORGEOUS new cookbook Cooking With Coconut Oil: Gluten-Free, Grain-Free Recipes for Good Living by Elizabeth Nyland of Guilty Kitchen. It is full of tasty and exciting dishes that anyone will enjoy, but this cookbook is particularly well-suited for anyone following a paleo, primal, real food, gluten-free, or grain-free lifestyle. Plus many recipes are compliant with variations such as the Whole30, 21-Day Sugar Detox, and even the auto-immune paleo protocol or GAPS. This cookbook features a wide variety of creative recipes for all main meals, snacks, salads, and desserts. The recipes are beautifully photographed with easy to follow, very approachable directions that will make you want to start cooking as soon as you get your hands on the book!
Slow Cooker Cuban Vaca Frita
Vaca Frita (which translates literally to “fried cow”) is by far my favorite Cuban recipe. The first time I tasted it in a restaurant I knew I had to recreate it at home. While it does take 2 days from start to finish to complete, the hands on time is very limited and it is actually really simple to make in your slow cooker. After slow cooking, the meat is marinated overnight and then quickly fried in some high-quality fat to make crispy-tender beef that is bursting with flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I hope you enjoy 🙂
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 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!
