Despite its name, my All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce isn’t just for stir-fries. Try it, and you’ll see that it’s amazing on EVERYTHING. I’ll admit, though, that I came up with this recipe for our second cookbook, Ready or Not!, after struggling to find an easy, consistent way to whip up quick ...

Arugula Pesto
Is there anything better than homemade Arugula Pesto? I doubt it. I’m a big believer in prepping sauces, dips, and dressings to keep on hand in my freezer and fridge—it’s one of the keys to whipping up quick and easy meals when I don't have time or the energy to cook. That’s why I devoted a ...

Meatza
Pizza used to be a big deal in our house. Pre-Paleo, Henry and I were pizza freaks. Believe it or not, we once flew 700 miles from San Francisco to Phoenix, Arizona just to eat at the legendary Pizzeria Bianco. (Yes, we’re crazy.) But then, we went Paleo, and our neverending pizza party stopped. ...

Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes
Okay, U.S.-based Paleo procrastinators: It’s that time of year again, when you’re tasked with either: (A) preparing an entire Thanksgiving feast; (B) bringing something to a Turkey Day potluck; or (C) figuring out what you’re going to eat at someone else’s decidedly non-Paleo-friendly Thanksgiving ...
Instant Pot Autumn Mash
One of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving side dishes is Roasted Garlic Autumn Root Vegetable Mash. Why? ’Cause it’s a feast for both the eyes and tastebuds. My original stovetop version is crazy delicious, but now that I’m a certified Instant Pothead, I was determined to create a shortcut to veggie ...
Magic Crown Roast of Pork
It’s November, which means it’s time to start thinking about Thanksgiving Dinner. (And no, it’s not too early to start planning. It’s never too early to think about delicious stuff we can stuff into our faces.) Turkey remains the traditional star of the feast (there’s a good reason why we ...
“PB&J” Energy Balls {VIDEO!}
Nope—there’s actually no peanut butter or jelly in these bite-size "PB&J" energy balls, but their nutty crunch and sweet strawberry flavor never fail to bring back fond memories of munching on my favorite after-school snack. In fact, I created this recipe for our latest cookbook, Ready or Not!, ...
Nom Nom Paleo + Whole Foods in the Northeast!
When I partnered with Whole Foods Market in the NorCal region in August to help folks go Paleo, the questions started pouring in: When would my Nom Nom Paleo Picks start popping up in other Whole Foods locations around the country? Well, I don’t know (yet!) about other parts of the U.S., but ...
Instant Pot Yankee Pot Roast
Autumn’s here! Now that it’s sweater weather and my Ready or Not! book tour travels (and weeks of eating on-the-go) are slowly winding down, I’m craving hearty, home-cooked comfort foods. These days, I can’t imagine anything more satisfying than sharing a steaming bowl of meaty stew and veggies with ...
Kimchi Cauliflower Fried Rice
I’ve been on my Ready or Not! book tour since late July, which means I’ve been eating out for weeks on end. It’s not as glamorous as it may sound; even though I generally love eating out, there comes a point when I just get desperate for home cooking (and knowing every single ingredient that I’m ...
