Jane’s Recipes

DSC_2602 - Version 2

My recipes are all original. Every one! Food should bring you energy, clarity and JOY! Perhaps my biggest discovery is how to make sweets that don’t elevate blood sugar or cause weight gain. We believe desserts are BAD for us (and most of them are)! However sweets can be HEALTHY! In an epidemic of sugar-related diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer, THIS is the solution: Use low-carb, original, unprocessed ingredients. There’s no need for deprivation. Here are some of my recipes. Try them and send me your comments!  Jane

 

Chipotle-butter

Chili Cheese Biscuits with Chipotle Butter

These yummy biscuits taste just like spicy cornmeal biscuits, only better! They're a crispy, Paleo, gluten-free version of that decadent cheese biscuit you'd dunk in your Southwest tortilla soup. I served them with Coconut Chipotle Butter - ...
Plantain-Pancakes-Orange-S

Plantain Pancakes with Orange Maple Sauce

Sausage-Kidney-Casserole

Sausage Kidney Casserole with Turmeric

I'm rediscovering the benefits of organ meats, as they offer great health benefits, besides being economical. This is a warming and satisfying breakfast, lunch, or dinner with sausage and kidney. It's like an old-world kidney pie with no crust and rich Middle Eastern spices. The spices and sausage flavors soften the kidney flavor. Expect an immediate energy boost from the earthy proteins and turmeric ...
sweet-potato-tots

Paleo Sweet Potato Tots

I once thought tater tots were silly. But then I invented an easy way to make them super-healthy. Oh my! These crispy bites are flavorful, addictive, and made with all unrefined ingredients! Just grate raw sweet potatoes, mix the ingredients, roll into balls, and bake them ...
Paleo-Biscuits-and-Gravy

Paleo Biscuits & Gravy

Hot biscuits with creamy sausage gravy make a hearty Southern breakfast. For true Paleo sausage, look for unsweetened, non-gmo grass-fed meat. Coconut milk and arrowroot powder make a thick, creamy gravy, that's dairy-free, ...
Paleo-Baking-Powder-Biscuits

Paleo Baking Powder Biscuits

I wanted these biscuits to be just like my Mom's - crispy, hot, and sort of irregular in shape. It took 4 trials to get this Paleo version to come out. And it worked! The result tastes extremely close to my Mom's with no gluten, grains, dairy or sugar. I tried various mixtures of ...
Easy-Blackberry-Sauce

Easy Blackberry Sauce

I can't remember what happened. I spun the blender, and somehow poured this sauce on the Chocolate Brownie Waffles. I've no memory after that - just pure, delicious flavor. Perhaps I just drifted into a parallel dimension, transported further ...

Paleo_Paella

Paleo Paella

Today I was in the mood for authentic Paella with rich spices and exotic saffron sauce! This cauliflower version is easy, Paleo, grain-free, and extremely low in carbs. Traditional Spanish Paella is usually made with rice, chicken, meat, seafood, and saffron. It makes a fantastic special ...
Chocolate-Pumpkin-Bread

If Paleo Pumpkin Bread is good, then Paleo chocolate pumpkin bread is much, much better. Rich and full-bodied, the two flavors blend perfectly together. This easy recipe is moist and dense, filled with pure cacao and spices ...

AND they're made with 100% Paleo ingredients - they're gluten-free, vegan, low-carb, diabetic-friendly, healthy for kids and adults too! Oh, and they taste lusciously ...

Cauliflower Risotto with English Peas

Today I discovered fresh organic English peas in the market! When I lived in Italy, fresh peas in the pod were a sign of spring. Everyone rushes home to make this risotto, called “Risi e Bisi” in Venetian dialect, or “Rice with Peas”. However you won’t find this particular risotto in Italy! ...

Paleo Meatloaf

This is by far the best meatloaf I've ever tasted! My Mom's meatloaf holds a place near and dear to my heart. But this tastes even better! Plus it's Paleo, gluten-free and grain-free, made without the usual fillers and prepared sauces. This recipe works equally well with ground beef, lamb, buffalo, or turkey ...

No-Tomato-Ketchup

No-Tomato Ketchup

Heinz is yummy - however THIS ketchup is tastier! Tart, sweet, and rich all at the same time. If tomatoes are off your list, this recipe is for you. It's made of carrot, sweet potato, and beet, but you'd never guess. Commercial catsup is loaded with GMO high-fructose corn sugar. So why buy it ...

Instant Hot Fudge Pudding

Unbelievably easy and decadently wonderful, this chocolate pudding is instant! It's made with blended sweet potato and cacao.
