OMG – Heavenly Carrot Soup!

On a trip to Paris years ago, I ordered a simple bowl of carrot soup, Potage Crécy, in a fine restaurant. The first bite was so delicious, I nearly fell out of my chair with joy. OMG - the taste of LOVE, velvety smooth with heavenly flavor and deeply nourishing. Amazed, I asked the waiter what was in it. He disappeared into the kitchen and returned with the chef, who politely said: "Madame, this is the easiest dish we make. It is simply carrots, butter, chicken broth, and heavy cream. But of course, it all depends on the broth." ...

Cauliflower Risotto with Lentils & Mushrooms

This delicious risotto is a snap to make, and will rival anything you'll taste in an Italian trattoria. I made this low-carb cauliflower risotto for my recent cooking workshop in Italy, and it was a huge hit.

Riced cauliflower has an al-dente texture just like Arborio rice, but without the carbs. Yay! To "rice" the cauliflower, you can grate by hand, or spin in a ...

Paleo Guacamole, Nightshade-free

My favorite avocado snack is usually made with tomatoes, cayenne, and jalapeños. So here's a traditional Mexican recipe that'e easy on your digestion. Nightshade vegetables are a common allergen (tomatoes, peppers, white potatoes, eggplant). Many popular foods contain nightshades, like pizza, potato chips, and salsa. But they're notorious for causing digestive problems in about 35% of humans, particularly Caucasians. Nightshades work slowly, their negative effects often delayed ...

Best Dairy-free Parmesan Cheese

This is probably the best recipe I ever created. Back in 2012 I was allergic to cheese. Since I LOVE Italian food, I was HIGHLY MOTIVATED to recreate the flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano! This is coconut cheese with a ZING! Grate it, slice it, or cut into chunks. Instead of dairy, it uses coconut butter, lemon, nutritional yeast, and optional Vitamin C for a sharp, aged cheese flavor. BTW I lost my cheese allergy! I discovered I can tolerate dairy that's organic, grass-fed, and unpasteur...

Kung Fu Chicken with Fermented Natto Anti-viral

I call it Kung Fu Chicken, meaning Achievement of Man, which describes this sauce perfectly. A yummy superfood! It turns out the world's highest concentration of Vitamin K2, may also be an antidote for the spike protein. A study published in the journal ‘Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications‘ holds that extract of Natto breaks down the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. OK, what is Natto? Natto is a fermented soybean dish in Japan. It's a serious superfood and will boost your health to the moon. However, I need to warn you, the flavor is strange. Since it is very healthy and greatly needed in our time, I invented this recipe to "cover" the taste. But it will take most Westerners some time to develop a taste for Natto. See resource links below. ...

Wild Dandelion Avocado Pesto with Pumpkin Seeds!

I went for a walk in the hills, and the wild forest dandelions were calling to me! So, I filled my backpack with bright green leaves. How to eat them?

Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes with Apple Butter

The easiest, healthiest, fluffiest pancakes I ever tasted. If you have whole buckwheat groats, an apple, and a blender, you've GOT this! The night I invented it, I lay wide awake staring at the full moon. I had just discovered that fine ground "flour" as we know it is neither healthy nor Paleolithic. I mean, how could they hand grind wild seeds on a stone on the floor of a cave? Suddenly I had a vision of fluffy buckwheat pancakes without flour. Yep, sounds impossible. Immediately I got up to soak some buckwheat groats. Next morning, the results were the sweetest, fluffiest, tastiest pancakes ever! We were eating them with apple butter within 15 minutes! A major discovery! ...

It uses zucchini noodles and coconut milk, skipping the wheat pasta with gluten and heavy cream. The flavor is every bit as delicious. "Zoodles" are easy to make on a ...

Quinoa is a high-protein seed related to beets and spinach, NOT a grain. Therefore quinoa is Paleo. Hooray! So, you can decide for yourself if it is hunt-and-gather caveman fare.
