Our banana bread recipe is elegant in its simplicity. It only takes one bowl and ten minutes of prep time. It cooks in only 45 minutes, which is exactly the right amount of time to wash that bowl and make a cup of coffee. That’s right, in less than one hour you could be enjoying a warm slice of grain-free banana bread. Banana bread is best with friends and family. This recipe serves ten so it’s perfect for sharing with your friends, coworkers, and loved ones.

Paleo Italian Spaghetti Meatball Bake

Louise | December 5

There is nothing quite like a pasta bake to remind you of childhood. Growing up, we ate pasta bakes at least once a week and most were heavy, packed with wheat from the pasta, and smothered in so much cheese you could barely taste anything else. This Paleo Italian spaghetti meatball bake is nothing like the dense casseroles you may remember. The meatballs are homemade, the flavor comes from savory meats and satisfying spices, no heavy dairy in sight, and of course, there are the noodles. This casserole is the best of both worlds with the nostalgic flavors of childhood and none of the wheat or dairy.

Paleo Meatless Monday – 37 Veggie Recipes To Try

Louise | December 4

I still remember when I first heard of a Paleo diet. It’s funny; I assumed it would lean heavily towards meaty dishes and that vegetarians probably wouldn’t enjoy it… Sure, many types of meats are great for Paleo, but I have to say some of my favorite recipes today are completely meat-free.

You may want to add veggie dishes to your meal plan for many reasons. If you have vegetarian family members or friends, it’s nice to be able to serve them a tasty meal you know they’ll love. Or perhaps you have a small garden in the backyard and you’d like to make the most of it.

To be honest, you don’t really need a reason to have a Paleo Meatless Monday (or any day of the week). I tend to cook more meat-free meals when veggies are in season.

How To Make The Most of Your Meat-free Day

Tip 1: Find out what vegetables are in season! First of all, they are going to be a lot cheaper. Second, when you’re buying veggies during their highest season, they tend to be more flavorful.

Tip 2: If you’re not used to cooking vegetarian recipes, plan your meals ahead and read through the whole recipe before getting started. This way you’ll know you can whip up your veggie meal just as fast as you would cook your usual, meaty dishes.

Tip 3: Prepare ahead. Many vegetables can be peeled, chopped or grated ahead. You’ll get dinner done in a breeze!

Are you having a hard time deciding which one of these recipes to try first? I can tell you some of my favorites are the Spanish omelet, the 5-minute apple raisin salad, and the eggplant curry!

Check out this video to see how easy it is to put together a veggie lasagna!

36 Paleo Zucchini Recipes From Fritters To Lasagna Rolls

Louise | November 9

You may have tried zucchini in stir-fries or salads before, and maybe even in lasagna. But who would have thought you could make delicious desserts from zucchini? At first, I thought it was a silly idea – but then I decided to give it a try.

I swear, the first time I made my friends try Paleo zucchini chocolate muffins they refused to believe there was any kind of vegetable in it. The muffins were so wonderfully moist and flavorful, I almost didn’t believe it myself!

Since then, zucchini has become one of my favorite vegetables to cook with. I love it in stir-fried dinners, as grilled slices, and sometimes just quickly grated with a nice Paleo-friendly salad dressing. And if you happen to have this wonder veggie growing in your own garden, you are in for a treat.

Why You Should Add More Zucchini In Your Diet

Why not? Zucchini has quite a mild flavor and a wonderful texture, and it can work as a great substitute for pasta or even meat. Zucchini is not just tasty – it also contains various nutrients that can have a positive impact on your diet.

  1. Zucchini can help lower your blood sugar levels, by increasing your fiber intake.
  2. For the same reason; fiber, zucchini can also improve your digestion and support your weight loss.
  3. The anti-inflammatory nutrients, like Vitamin A and Vitamin C, can help your body fight inflammation.
  4. Zucchini contains plenty of water, so it will help you feel full for longer.

On this vast list of Paleo zucchini recipes you’ll find some of my favorite salads, fritters, sautes, breads and – believe it or not, even chocolate cake! In my opinion, until you’ve tried zucchini fries you haven’t really lived.

Louise | October 27

Take a seat because you’re going to want to look at every single one of these delicious paleo sauce recipes… Whether you’re looking for homemade ketchup that’s free of preservatives and all that added sugar, or something a bit more exotic, it’s going to be on this list.

A nice sauce will complement almost any Paleo entree you can think of but, unfortunately, finding Paleo-friendly store-bought options can be as hard as finding a needle in a haystack. Every time I look at the list of ingredients on those bottles it makes me happy I’ve chosen a healthy way of eating.

That being said – I’m only human, and sometimes I crave a big spoonful of mayo on top of my vegetable fritters or something extra that can turn a weeknight chicken dinner into a special meal. A good sauce does that, and that’s why I’m making one of these tonight!

Mouthwatering Paleo Sauces For Every Occasion

  • Choose and easy-to-make gravy or hollandaise sauce for a weeknight meal.

Some of these vinaigrettes and dressings will keep in the refrigerator for several days, so they are perfect for making ahead. If you’re in a hurry you can whip up a quick stir-fry and throw in some Paleo-friendly stir-fry sauce.

Cheesy Paleo Zucchini Soup Recipe

Louise | July 21

I was at a restaurant recently for a special occasion and one of my friends ordered broccoli cheese soup.

It looked amazing.

I miss cheese, you guys. Paleo purists will tell you not to ever eat dairy, however, including cheese.

I don’t believe you have to be that strict about it, but it is something I prefer to avoid. If you are going to go there, it should only be after you do an elimination diet to make sure that the lactose and casein don’t cause problems for you.

You should also stick to only eating cheese made from raw milk, which can be tricky to find. I guarantee you that the molten cheese in a steaming bowl right next to me wasn’t a product of raw milk.

Keeping my eyes on the prize, I summoned my resolve and overcame temptation. But as I was crunching away on my pre-meal salad, I couldn’t help but begin to solve the problem.

I needed to make a cheesy paleo soup.
