Wild Salmon Zoodles alla Veneziana

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.

Dark Rye Flourless Blender Bread

Another flourless blender bread - this is my favorite! If you enjoy Old-World breads, this has an authentic Eastern European flavor. Amazingly easy and so delicious! It tastes like old fashioned dark rye with a hint of sweetness. This is a true comfort-food, delicious with butter or with my Dairy-Free Coconut Cream Cheese. This bread has major health benefits including:

It is high in protein, Omega-3, vitamin, and low carb nutrition from sprouted rye, chia seeds, and eggs. Yay!
Easy to make! Just blend, pour in pan, and bake. There's no kneading or waiting for yeast to rise.
It's easier to digest because the grain is soaked. So it's free of saponins and indigestible coatings found in all seeds, grains, flours and commercial breads.
High-fiber and flourless, this bread cleans your digestive tract, promoting healthy elimination, while preventing mucoid plaque and belly flab associated with flours. DOUBLE YAY!
