Paleo Vegan Pumpkin Soup (GF/DF/V/Paleo)
I have been waiting to make this paleo pumpkin soup all season and I finally did. I absolutely love pumpkin soup. There is something so comforting about sitting down to a warm bowl of pureed soup when the weather cools down. I add a bit of sage to really make it feel like fall. Instead of cream or half and half for creaminess, I use coconut milk. And instead of potatoes or flour for thickener, I use cauliflower. Better yet, it only takes about 30 minutes to make and is pretty much acceptable on any dietary restrictions since it is gluten free, grain free, sugar free, vegan and autoimmune friendly. To me this…

Paleo Beef Stew with Sweet Potato + Celery Root (GF/DF/Paleo)
The weather is finally cooling off and it is the perfect time to create a big batch of this Paleo beef stew with sweet potatoes, carrots, and celery root. I love creating different versions of the classic and this one is absolutely perfect. You get the heartiness from a delicious slab of grass fed and finished chuck roast, the sweetness from the sweet potatoes, and the health benefits of all the other veggies hidden inside. Speaking of health benefits, do you know much about celery root? Celeriac (or celery root as it’s commonly called) is from the same family as celery but it’s actually a completely different plant. The edible part of the…

Greek Burgers with Coconut Tzatziki Sauce and Cinnamon Sweet Potato Fries (GF/DF/Paleo)
Sometimes you just need a good gluten free burger and fries, you know what I mean? It has got to be one of America’s family favorites and with so many fast food restaurants around, they are easy to come by. But this is not your average burger. This is a healthy, gluten and dairy free version of our favorite. I used grass fed and grass finished beef for a nutrient dense base. Filled with sauteed onions, garlic and olives, the patty gets a whole new levels of flavor. Then I topped each patty with a homemade cucumber tzatziki sauce that is out of this world! Paired with my crispy cinnamon sweet potato fries,…

Paleo Pumpkin Spice Meatballs (GF/DF/Paleo)
It’s officially fall y’all! Bring on the pumpkin spice dishes! Seriously, though this dish is calling ALL pumpkin spice fans because it’s made especially for you. I know it sounds weird to put pumpkin spice into the sauce, but its seriously like a creamy dreamy curry meatball but with more personality. I made a huge batch of these and plan to eat them all week for lunch. They are great over a simple arugula salad (as pictured) or over rice. I kinda want to make them again for a fall dinner party. They are so unique and delicious! For the meatballs, I used a combination of ground turkey and pork. I sauteed onion…

Smokey Paleo Bacon Clam Chowder (GF/DF/Paleo)
First of all, let me start by saying I am not a huge fan of traditional clam chowder. It can taste like clams and cream which to me is pretty unappetizing. I know this paleo version of the original sounds super decadent, but don’t worry, it’s incredibly healthy. I used a wicked combination of white veggies as the base: cauliflower, parsnips and sweet potatoes. Then used an immersion blender to make it creamy while leaving a few potato chunks for good texture. There’s nitrate and sugar free bacon for flavor. And clams for an iron boost. Even my kids loved it (ate 2 bowls each!) It reminds me more of a bacon potato…
