Deconstructed Paleo Chicken Egg Roll Bowl
Looking for recipes that both you and your family members who aren’t Paleo can enjoy together? This is definitely one of them. My boyfriend doesn’t follow diets of any kind, typically considering himself a meat-and-potatoes kind of man. I offered him a big bowl of this as soon as I took it off the stove and I couldn’t believe how much he liked it!

Easy Orange Chicken Stir-Fry
This Easy Orange Chicken Stir-Fry is easy and paleo-approved — and the one-pan preparation makes cleanup a breeze! I love how flavorful this is without being overwhelming; sometimes when I get orange chicken from a restaurant, I feel like I’m just eating solid orange juice and the flavor is too sweet for me. This preparation leaves you with a subtle, fragrant orange flavor and a small kick from the fresh garlic and ginger, making it great for all palates. If you do like more of that flavor, the fresh orange garnish makes it easy for you to adjust. And, as

Spicy Shrimp Super Salad
This Spicy Shrimp Super Salad recipe evolved in my head slowly, over time. And once it came together I couldn’t wait to share it! It’s inspired by deconstructed shrimp tacos, as you’ll notice by the flavor profile and the slaw-like salad base. But as I researched different ingredients, I realized that I could pack quite a punch in the nutrition category while adding both flavor and texture and make this into a Super Salad! The mircrogreens alone (which are young plants, harvested at 7-14 days) add a ton of vitamins and nutrients with just a little sprinkle.

One-Pan Roasted Chicken and Veggies (Paleo, Gluten Free, Low Carb, Whole30)
About this One-Pan Roasted Chicken and Veggies… I’ve mentioned a few times before that I love to do meal prep — and here’s why! First, you can do recipes like this that are super easy and only take a small chunk out of your day, and then you’ve got food for the rest of the week. But most importantly, it helps you stay on track: you’re more likely to stick to your paleo/keto/clean eating etc. if there’s already food and snacks available to you that stick to that plan. If you have to go foraging for something, you’re more likely

Greek Chicken Salad with Tzatziki Dressing
I discovered Greek food this summer, and when I finally tried the chicken salad that the Greek place at the mall makes, I knew I had to come up with my own recipe. This Greek Chicken Salad with Tzatziki Dressing recipe is great for meal-preppers like myself or people who don’t have a lot of time to cook, because you basically do all of the hard work the night before and then throw everything together when you’re ready to eat it.

Pan Roasted Rosemary Chicken and Mushrooms
We just got our very first cast iron pan (a cast iron grill pan, no less!) so I decided to try it out with a pan roasting recipe. If you don’t have cast iron, any heavy pan will do — just make sure that it’s safe to go into your oven. This recipe is another potential one-pan recipe that utilizes your oven, so it’s great for the colder months when you’re feeling a little lazy and cold, but want some great food.
