Golden garlic shrimp
This is a super easy, quick, weeknight recipe full of flavor that will blow your mind. There’s nothing complicated about it, but the simple ingredients combined in the right way is just amazing. The shrimp taste so buttery and rich, with the garlic infusion and just a little kick from the pepper. Serve this with a simply done veggie side like roasted broccoli (just stick the pan in the oven beside the shrimp) and you are done! This would be super delicious served over cauliflower rice, or if you’re not doing Paleo, with a crusty bread or over pasta. The sauce is seriously good. It would also be great for an easy party dish, just stick the shrimp on...
Read MoreColorful Tuna Avocado Salad
This is an easy lunch that has it all – veggies, good fats, protein, and lots of flavor. It’s pretty to look at too! This is just my take on a regular old tuna salad, but instead of mayo, I’ve used avocado and olive oil for the fat. It’s surprisingly creamy and has a depth of flavor that I really like. Use your good olive oil here because the taste does come through. I subscribe to Barefoot Contessa’s advice for garnishing dishes – I like them to look like what they’re going to taste like, so people know what to expect. You can expect lemon flavor and bite from the pepper and onion, hence the peppered lemon slice. Plus it just...

Read MoreApple Crumble
This is a recipe I made up with Jimmy in mind. My husband, the milkshake connoisseur, to my shock and awe, has agreed to do a 30-day Paleo challenge. For the next 30 days, we will be eating grain, dairy, and legume-free. No mac & cheese, no pizza at Cogan’s, no frequent trips to Dairy Queen. We will be eating plenty of grass-fed and free-range meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils. Last night, we stayed up past midnight talking of goals and dreams, and one of the things he is committed to is healthier eating. He wants to give it an honest shot, and has committed to the 30 days. You have no idea how grateful I am for this. Well,...
