Paleo Coconut Pancakes
This is really just a classic Paleo breakfast/brunch dish. I’m not sure when I first chanced upon the recipe, but I’ve been making it for quite a while now! It’s a bit more complicated than the 2-ingredient pancake (recipe here), but it’s definitely delicious (esp. with a tad of maple syrup).

Marinated Grilled Flank Steak
This is such a simple and delicious recipe and perfect for showing off your grilling skills without possessing any of those skills! It’s all in the marinade, and luckily, making the marinade just means dumping all the ingredients into a large bowl and stirring it. It’s also great because flank steak is such a cheap steak, so you can grill this all the time!

Perfect Scrambled Eggs
This is a quick write-up of how to make perfectly moist and NOT overcooked scrambled eggs (dairy-free)!
As I have previously posted, I learned how to scrambled eggs correctly from Gordon Ramsay (sadly, not in person, but still…). If you’re used to the overcooked scrambled eggs found at Waffle Houses, diners, and hotel breakfast buffets, then your first experience of “real” scrambled eggs might be a bit shocking – you’ll probably think it’s undercooked, except it’s how all the top chefs at all the nicest restaurants cook it!! In fact, I used to ponder about what their secret was…and now I know. These are the perfect scrambled eggs.
Here’s the video of Gordon Ramsay explaining it:

Simple Egg Drop Soup
What do you do when you can’t drink any more bone broth? Well, in my case, I make soup out of it! Just like chicken broth or beef broth, bone broth (my recipe here) makes a great (and super nutritious) base for a lot of soups. Here’s a simple one I like to make when I’m in a rush (of course, you can use other broths too instead of the bone broth).
All it requires is some swiss chard (or other green leafy vegetable, like spinach is a good one), some eggs, and some seasoning. If you want to make the more traditional egg drop soup, then use some scallions (chopped green onions) instead of the swiss chard.
Greek Yogurt Raspberry Smoothie (Contains Dairy – Primal Only)
I’ve been reading about smoothies, and it seems that the word “smoothie” (meaning a smooth talking person) first appeared in print in the US around the early 1900s. However, the fruity drink didn’t become known as smoothies until around the 1960s.
I wanted my smoothie to be a bit more filling than just some frozen sugary juice, and so I experimented with adding some Greek yogurt as well as almond milk. It was quite delicious and very filling!
Note that unlike most recipes on this website, this recipe contains dairy (I created it before I gave up dairy), so if you don’t know whether you tolerate dairy or not, then try giving it up for 30 days first before trying to reintroduce it slowly (we find that even if people tolerate dairy, they typically tolerate raw or fermented dairy better).
Simple Bone Broth
I spent a large part of the day listening to and discussing natural health through food and nutrition, and bone broth definitely came up several times! So, it seems fitting to share with you my bone broth recipe.
I’m currently in a sunny, but rather chilly, Santa Clara, California, attending the Weston A. Price Wise Traditions Conference, which is a conference emphasizing traditional nutrition, farming, and cooking.
What is bone broth? It’s really what it sounds like – broth made from bones. It’s something that’s been around in the traditional cooking of many cultures around the globe because it’s nutritious, delicious and helps absorption of nutrients!
Btw, if you just want to buy bone broth ready made instead, then check out these sites: Kettle & Fire – it’s packaged in pantry-perfect cartons and available within the US.
Beef Tomato Stir-Fry (Lomo Saltado)
Lomo saltado is a traditional Peruvian recipe that has distinct Chinese flavors. This dish is often served over white rice and with French fries. I first tried it several years at a Peruvian restaurant in New York City, and I feel in love with it instantly! It was so flavorful but yet so simple.
Of course I had to go and recreate it at home! It’s a very simple dish (especially since I skip all the marinading that’s traditionally done), but there’s one trick to it – slice the beef thin.

Tea Eggs (Cha Dan) Recipe
And this was the conversation in my living room last night:
ME: So, it’s Election Day on Wednesday, right. Isn’t that…
J: No, it’s on Tuesday.
ME: Are you sure? I read it on…
J: There are some things you have to trust an American on.
So, it’s Tuesday today….Happy Election Day to all those in the US! Now, let’s move on to breakfast involving some other nationalities!
This is simply the yummiest and simplest way of eating eggs for breakfast! Cha Dan (literally translated as “Tea Egg”) is a traditional Chinese recipe involving soy sauce and spices and eggs, but to decrease the amount of soy consumption (coz it’s not too good for you!), here’s a soy-free Cha Dan Recipe. You can of course add coconut aminos or tamari sauce instead of soy sauce, but it’ll cost you pretty much a whole bottle for two dozen eggs!
Paleo Egg and Leek Stir-Fry
I always thought leeks were funny vegetables – they look kinda like a weed (I mean, they’re tall, stiff, and grass-like). But when it comes to good-tasting, they’re definitely pretty high up there on my list of vegetables! It’s sort of like eating a weird non-GMO hybrid of onion, spring onion, and garlic. And they go fantastically well with eggs!
Before, I move on to the recipe, though, here’s a cool fact I just found out about leeks (I’m constantly amazed by what I can learn from Wikipedia!): leeks actually appear on the coronation gown of Queen Elizabeth II because they’re the national emblem of Wales (well, I knew that last bit about Wales)!
Oh, and another cool fact…that’s my lovely mother holding the plate (I know, I know, you can only see her hands – we’re both camera shy)!
Paleo Garlic Jalapeno Chicken Saute [Keto]
Is that a FLIP-FLOP? And is that CHICKEN on it? Yes. And yes.
So,this post is about the chicken saute recipe (that’s on the plate), but first I just have to make so silly noises over the cute plate in the photo above! Yes, it is a plate in the shape of a flip-flop and not actually a flip flop! It was way too fun of a plate to place on my boring white counter-top, and so I photo-shopped (or rather Gimp’d) it onto a sandy beach photo. And yes, I’m grinning quite madly right now 🙂 And yes, to celebrate, I danced a little delighted jig in the kitchen where no one could see me!
Chocolate!! Avocado Paleo Smoothie Recipe
Why must smoothies be a breakfast/brunch recipe? I always hear of people saying they had a smoothie for breakfast, but it never made sense to me why I couldn’t also have a smoothie for lunch and dinner (and maybe a midnight snack too)! If it’s a delicious smoothie, then it should be enjoyable ANYTIME.
And this smoothie is definitely one of those “enjoy anytime” ones! (Here are a few other smoothie recipes to try – Ketogenic Green Smoothie, the Wicked Paleo Smoothie, and the Coconut Water Green Smoothie.)

90-Second Microwave Paleo Bread
This is too great of a recipe not to share again, even though there are loads of different versions of it on various websites (like here and here).
To make a loaf of bread instead, check out this recipe here.
The important ingredients in this recipe are: almond flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt. If you have just those, then you’re good to go! Of course, it can taste very different depending on exactly what you use.
This is what one of our readers (Betty) told me when I asked her how she liked this recipe:
I have made it every day since I got the recipe. It is amazing toasted.
So, I hope you will enjoy it too!
Salmon Stew/Kitchen Sink Soup

What I love about this soup is the fact that you can put anything in it and it’ll still taste great. The key ingredients are some good broth, some fresh vegetables, and some delicious protein. Which all just sounds like the perfect proportions for healthy eating to me!

Truly Paleo Indulgences
I don’t often make Paleo desserts, mostly because I tend to eat a little too much of it. But when I saw all the amazing recipes Tammy Credicott put into Paleo Indulgences, I just couldn’t resist – I made 2 in the space of a week!
Paleo Cookies with Almond Butter
Milk and cookies anyone? I felt like some dessert tonight and so made a variation of the cinnamon cookies that I used to make – they are quite delicious and addictive! The basis of the cookies is almond butter and chia bran.
What is chia flour? It’s a flour made from chia seeds that works well as a replacement to flax meal, almond flour, or coconut flour. It doesn’t taste strongly of anything but sticks ingredients together well. It’s great to bake with!
