This recipe is all of my favorite things – easy, fast and delicious! The quick marinade of the shrimp both infuses flavor and takes the cooking time down to almost nothing – and this allows the veggies to come out flavorful and crisp (not soggy, like sometimes happens with sheet pan recipes).

I love these paleo coconut pancakes. They taste like you’re cheating, but they’re actually perfectly healthy! I’ve seen a lot of recipes out there for coconut flour pancakes, but this is my favorite combination — I feel like the way that the cinnamon and banana combine with the light flavor of the coconut is just heavenly.

I love this mushroom fried “rice” recipe — it is SO quick and easy to make, and it tastes so good! But at the same time, it’s absolutely packed with nutrients from the high-quality protein in the eggs to the vitamin- and mineral-rich mushrooms. The fiber and protein in the riced veggies will help you feel full without all of the slow-you-down carbs that you’d get from regular rice. You can’t go wrong with this Paleo Mushroom Fried Cauliflower Rice!

Chicken Marsala is one of my boyfriend’s favorite dishes to cook, so I decided that this time I’d make it for him — I’d just tweak the recipe a bit so that I don’t have to work as hard, but it would taste just as fresh and good.

I don’t usually bake. I’ve always been good at it, but it just never seems quite as fun. To me, baking is the flip-side of cooking: cooking is all organized chaos and anything goes, while baking is rule-heavy and chemistry reliant. So when the words “I’ll bake you something!” came out of my mouth as a bribe to get my supervisor at work to help me, I got a little scared when I realized I’d have to do something I hadn’t done in years — and this time, do it Paleo.
