Paleo Coconut Mayo Recipe

This mayo is delicious! It’s thick and creamy with a hint of coconut (due to the coconut oil used). Previously, I had made mayonnaise with olive oil, which gives a more yellow colored mayo (recipe here). This coconut mayo has a slight cream color, and it’s perfect for making ranch dressing with (ranch dressing recipe here).

Why Make Your Own Paleo Mayo?

Store-bought mayo generally contain non-Paleo oils (e.g., canola oil). [UPDATE – I’ve found this Paleo mayo brand to be excellent – it’s made with avocado oil and tastes really good – and you can buy it from Thrive Market online.]

So, instead of foregoing many delicious foods (like tuna salads, ranch dressing), I make my own Paleo mayo using Paleo oils (olive oil and coconut oil). It’s delicious and fresh!

Paleo Ranch Dressing Recipe [Keto, Dairy-Free]

I love this recipe for ranch dressing because it uses so many fresh herbs – they really help to lift the taste and give it an even more cooling and fresh flavor. If you don’t have fresh herbs available, then you can use dried herbs instead (appropriate amounts are provided in the recipe).

I made this paleo ranch dressing recipe to go with some delicious Paleo Buffalo Chicken Wings (recipe here).

Paleo Chicken Kiev Recipe

I recall eating chicken kiev a lot growing up in England. Of course, it was the prepackaged kind that you stuck into the oven (definitely not Paleo chicken kievs!).

However, it never occurred to me that they were Ukrainian in origin (hence the name “kiev”). Although, according to Wikipedia, the Russians claim they invented it.

I love cooking with a ton of spices – it makes the food flavorful, more varied, and just amazingly delicious!

Paleo/GF Popcorn Shrimp Recipe [Dairy-Free, Nut-Free]

Jeremy always talks about his childhood spent eating and drinking non-Paleo classics like chocolate milk, bologna sandwiches, cherry coke, and popcorn shrimp (things I thankfully missed out on growing up in England). But, I thought I’d bring back some of his childhood foods by recreating Paleo versions of them. The Paleo popcorn shrimp recipe turned out amazingly well (in fact, Jeremy thought it was probably better than what he remembered!).

Paleo Ketchup Recipe

Ketchup (or Catsup) is so common a condiment that we often forget it’s not Paleo! In fact, if you look at a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup, you’ll find that it’s loaded with high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, and “natural flavorings” (I always find this rather suspicious as it could mean a lot of different things).

The solution? Make your own Paleo ketchup! When I first decided to make Paleo ketchup, I thought it was going to be a ton of work, but it turned out to be remarkably simple. This Paleo ketchup recipe is my favorite one – there’s a great mix of spices to make it really flavorful.

Amazing TIP: In case you miss it in the recipe, I also added in little bit of gelatin (it makes it a tiny bit thicker but doesn’t really change the consistency even when refrigerated, but provides some added health benefits!).
