We LOVE strawberry salad, but the recipe I used to use was so sugar laden, I had to give it up when I started eating clean. Here is a version that is naturally sweet without any added sweeteners, and is super fast to make. Strawberry Salad Dressing Adapted from this recipe Ingredients: 1/4 c....
I LOVE ice cream. And chocolate. Thankfully, living a paleo lifestyle doesn’t mean I can NEVER have these things, but rather that I choose to indulge in them intentionally and sparingly. However, since I started another Performance Nutrition Challenge at my gym, sadly, these yummy treats are off the table for sixty days. I...
A friend shared this recipe when we first did a Paleo Challenge at the gym. Allegedly, they are knock-off “Lara Bars”, although I’ve never had a Lara Bar so I couldn’t swear to that. However, it is a great way to fight the afternoon munchies or to take on the trail. Here is...
Yesterday I shared my secret to keeping guacamole green, and then I realized I didn’t even have my guacamole recipe posted! Guac is easy to make, and there are lots of variations out there. Here is how I make mine. Tip: the best places I’ve found for buying avocados are: Trader Joe’s — typically...
Sloppy Joes have been a staple in our house for a while because it is an easy dish to make that everyone loves. I had to make a few adjustments to our previous favorite Sloppy Joe recipe to keep it paleo. So now I share with you my “Sloppy Grokky” version. Note: I used...

When I began the paleo challenge at my gym, I quickly realized a whole lot more food choices would be open to me, if I could learn to make “paleo mayo”. What is “paleo mayo”, you ask? Basically regular grocery store mayonnaise is made from processed oils that are not beneficial to the body...
I was hankering to make a balsamic pork chop recipe, so I scoured the web to see what was out there. I found a great looking recipe on Epicurious / Gourmet Magazine, and made a few tweaks to make it my own. I buy my pork chops at Wegmans — the boneless center-cut club...
This recipe comes from my Crossfit coach, a super knowledgeable food guy who goes by “Chef“. I tailored it slightly to reflect my preferences. Chef recommends it as a great post-workout recovery drink — if you keep the fat content low (some of my modifications nullify that). Paleo / Performance Nutrition Coffee Shake Ingredients:...
It was my turn to bring brunch food to my mom’s group and I wanted to find a tasty Paleo-friendly dish to share with a decidedly non-Paleo crowd. I started browsing Pinterest and got inspired to make a jicama salad with peppers and cabbage. Credit goes to these two sources as my primary inspiration:...
