Paleo Cabbage Rolls







What You'll Need



  • One large head of green cabbage
  • One pound (500 g) grassfed ground beef
  • One pound (500 g) lean ground pork
  • One half white onion, diced finely
  • One half cups of riced / grated cauliflower
  • One half teaspoon sea salt
  • One teaspoon black pepper
  • One half teaspoon garlic powder
  • 16 oz (475 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • Eight oz (235 ml) tomato sauce (not pasta sauce)
  • Coconut oil

How to Make It

  1. Rice grate the cauliflower. I use the grating attachment on my food processor or you could grate by hand – but it’s a pain in the ass. Save 1/2 cups for this recipe and the rest for something else… it’s tasty fried up in this side dish.
  2. Dice the onion finely.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the beef, pork, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  4. Put a large pot of water on the stove over high heat.
  5. To prepare the cabbage for rolling, you’ll lightly boil it whole and peel the leaves off a few at a time.
  6. Cut the core out of the cabbage and place in the pot.
  7. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  8. As the leaves soften, you can peel them off with a spoon.
  9. Take care not to rip them in half.
  10. The whole process usually takes about 15 minutes.
  11. Alternatively, you can throw the whole cabbage in and let it simmer for about 15 minutes – the outermost leaves will become very soft but still usable.
  12. In either case, peel as many of the leaves off as you can and let cool a bit.
  13. In a large skillet over medium-high heat put a spoonful of coconut oil or your fat of choice.
  14. Add the onion and grated cauliflower and and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the cauliflower is softened.
  15. Turn off the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  16. Combine the onion / cauliflower with the meat and mix by hand to incorporate all the ingredients.
  17. Roll the golumbki by taking a cabbage leaf – concave side up with the stem toward you – and placing a large spoonful of the meat mixture at the stem end.
  18. Then roll forward, fold the sides in and end with the seam down.
  19. Mix the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce (not pasta sauce) in a bowl.
  20. Put ~1 cup in the bottom of the crockpot (or casserole dish).
  21. Lay the golumbki in with the seam side down.
  22. Cover with the remaining tomato mixture once the crock is full.
  23. For a crockpot, cook on low for 5 hours. If using the oven, cover the top of the dish with foil and bake for 1.5 hours at 350°F (175°C).

Paleo Chicken Tortilla-less Soup







What You'll Need



  • pounds chicken breasts (you can use bone-in, skin-on if you’d like, or boneless skinless. The goal is to have somewhere close to 2 or more pounds of cooked chicken at the end)
  • Three tablespoons of oil of your choice, divided (we used coconut oil)
  • Two-Three teaspoons of fajita or taco seasoning (use a mix of ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne if you don’t have)
  • One large or 2 medium onions, diced
  • six cloves garlic, minced
  • Two jalapeno peppers, diced
  • One-Two poblano peppers, diced
  • Two quarts (8 cups) chicken stock
  • One 28 ounce can of fire roasted tomatoes (if you can’t find fire-roasted, you can either fire-roast your own, or just use regular canned tomoatoes)
  • Juice of Two limes
  • One cup cilantro, chopped
  • avocado and fresh cilantro for garnish

How to Make It

  1. Preheat your oven 375 degrees Fahrenheit (350 for convection).
  2. Place your chicken breasts in a large baking pan, and pour one tablespoon of oil over all, coating well.
  3. Sprinkle your fajita seasoning over the chicken, coating well, and place in the oven.
  4. Cook for about 30-45 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken pieces) until cooked through and liquid from chicken runs clear.
  5. Using two forks, shred the chicken (while this is not so easy to do while the chicken is hot, I find I get a better “shred” if I do so while the chicken is still hot).
  6. Alternately, you can just chop the chicken into small pieces.
  7. Meanwhile, in a large dutch oven over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and when hot, add in the onions. Cook until onions are translucent, about 4-6 minutes.
  8. Add in the garlic and peppers and saute for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  9. Pour in the chicken stock and fire roasted tomatoes and bring to a medium boil.
  10. [THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL] If you want a slightly thickened soup, strain out some of the tomatoes, onions and peppers to a blender or Magic Bullet and puree. Pour back into the broth mixture. I did this with about 1/2 of the solids in the soup.
  11. Add the chicken, cilantro and lime juice to your bubbling cauldron of goodness. Taste to see what you’re in need of (salt? pepper? more of a kick?) and adjust as need be.
  12. Serve nice and hot with some fresh cilantro and chopped up avocado to go on top. Maybe a wedge of lime if you’re feeling pretty tart, or some extra diced up jalapenos or poblanos if you need more heat. Heck, get out the hot sauce if you really want some zing!

Bacon, Spaghetti Squash, and Parmesan Fritters







What You'll Need



  • 1/3 cup flour (for gluten free version, use multi-purpose gluten-free King Arthur flour)
  • Five bacon strips, cooked, drained of fat, and chopped
  • One half cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • One quarter + 1/8 teaspoons salt
  • Three cups spaghetti squash, cooked and wringed out (see instructions below)
  • Three green onions, chopped
  • Two eggs
  • Two tablespoons olive oil
  • For garnish:

  • Two green onions, chopped
  • dollop of Greek Yogurt

How to Make It

  1. The recipe required Three CUPS COOKED spaghetti squash.
  2. Three CUPS COOKED spaghetti squash is usually One half or 2/3 of a whole spaghetti squash.
  3. First Three steps describe how to cook spaghetti squash (this can be done One or more days in advance):
  4. Preheat oven to 425 Fahrenheit.
  5. Cut the squash in Two halves, scrape out the seeds and the fiber out of each half.
  6. Spray oil over the cut sides of the squash.
  7. Spray the baking sheet with oil and place the squash on the baking sheet cut side down.
  8. Bake for about 30-40 minutes.
  9. Remove it from the oven when it's cooked through and soft, and let it cool.
  10. Flip the squash so that cut side faces up – that will speed up the cooling.
  11. After squash cools, scrape squash with a fork to remove flesh in long strands and transfer to a bowl.
  12. Let it cool.
  13. Important: Wring out the spaghetti squash by wrapping portions of it in paper towels and squeezing hard with your hands over the sink.
  14. Be careful not to drop the spaghetti squash into the sink if the paper towel breaks.
  15. Try to get rid of as much liquid as you can.
  16. Cooked spaghetti squash can be refrigerated for 5 days.
  17. I prefer to cook spaghetti squash, refrigerate it and make fritters the next day or Two days later - that allows spaghetti squash to drain the liquid out and get dryer, which is preferable for fritters
  18. Now, on to how to make fritters:
  19. In a large bowl, using electric mixer, beat Two eggs on high speed for 1-2 minutes.
  20. Add flour and continue beating for about 30 seconds to combine.
  21. To the same bowl, add spaghetti squash, Parmesan cheese, Three chopped green onions, and 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoons salt.
  22. Mix very well until all the mixture has uniform consistency.
  23. Add chopped bacon and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, even though it should be just perfect.
  24. Heat a large skillet on high-medium heat until VERY hot. Only then add olive oil. It should sizzle and smoke right away. Using a tablespoon, spoon the tablespoon-ful of the batter for each fritter and drop on the skillet.
  25. Using a spatula, correct the shape of each fritter, making it flatter and rounder.
  26. Cook until the bottom side of each fritter is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  27. Reduce heat to medium. Using spatula, flip fritters to the opposite side, and cook 1-2 more minutes.
  28. When flipping the fritters, you can use a spoon on the opposite side of spatula to help push each fritter onto the spatula and then flipping.
  29. Turn off the heat and let the fritters sit in the skillet (uncovered) for 2-3 more minutes (check the bottom to make sure it's not burned - if it is too dark, remove fritters from the skillet immediately).
  30. Do 4 fritters at a time, you should have a total of Two batches (8 fritters total).
  31. Serve as is, or top with the dollop of Greek yogurt and chopped green onions (delicious if served this way!).

    Chicken salad

  1. Put cooked chicken in a food processor and pulse a few times to rough chop.
  2. Continue pulsing for about 30 seconds until the chicken is finely chopped.
  3. *If you turn "on" the food processor, your chicken will become a "paste" instead of very finely chopped.
  4. Don't do this.
  5. In a bowl, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and creole seasoning and blend well.
  6. Toss chicken into the bowl, combine a few times with a spatula and throw in finely chopped celery.
  7. Mayo

  8. Place the One egg, lemon juice, salt and optional dijon mustard in a blender or food processor.
  9. Pulse a few times until frothy and blended.
  10. The key to this step is being patient and slow.
  11. Tablespoon by tablespoon start to add the olive oil, while the blender or food processor is on.
  12. Keep pouring slowly.
  13. It should take Two to Three minutes.
  14. If you rush this it will not emulsify.
  15. Wraps

  16. Lay wrap on a flat surface.
  17. Spread extra mayo if desired.
  18. Add chicken salad on top and spread evenly.
  19. Fold in two of the four side of the wrap about One half inch. (So fold top and bottom) Then take the other side and wrap it up tightly! Cut wraps in half or leave whole.
