Smoked Salmon Breakfast Potatoes

These smoked salmon breakfast potatoes are perfect for Spring and even better for an Easter brunch! You guys. I love smoked salmon. I love potatoes. I love sour cream, and you can bet your ass I love fresh herbs. This dish is screams spring time to me – fresh potatoes, bright herbs and seriously ideal for a brunch outside. Preferably paired with a green juice mimosa. Plus, it’s actually really, really healthy. I know keto is all the rage, and I’m not bashing keto. It works vert, very well for some people. But just because keto works well for some people, does not mean that carbs are unhealthy. Just like keto is not inherently unhealthy. What works for one person will not work for another. For me, as a woman in my fertile years who is active and works out and has a fairly stressful life – carbs are a…

Recipe for Gluten-Free Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

This recipe for gluten-free chocolate peppermint cupcakes is easy to make, perfect for holiday parties and insanely delicious! Last weekend my girlfriend was throwing a holiday party and I offered to make some Christmas-y cupcakes. I’m not really sure why I volunteered to do this because honestly, I’m a horrible baker. An appetizer, a cocktail, a cheese plate – these are much more up my alley. But for some reason, unbeknownst to even myself – I volunteered to bake. At least, I figured, my kids would have some gluten-free dessert options at the party. Because we both know a three-year-old surrounded by Christmas desserts is going to try to eat ALL of them. No? Just mine? Why you will love this recipe for gluten-free cupcakes: These gluten-free Christmas chocolate cupcakes are made with a delicious blend of almond flour and coconut flour. They turn out minty, tender, perfectly moist and…

Paleo Breakfast Taco

I am deeply in love with this paleo breakfast taco. It’s low-carb, healthy, gluten-free and DELICIOUS. It’s easy to throw together in the AM, it’s full of fiber, protein, probiotics healthy fats. The protein is from the eggs. I used one in this picture but I recommend two. Eggs have 7 grams of protein each and don’t you dare throw out that yolk. The yolks also contain protein but more importantly, the contain choline, omega-3s and vitamins. They are SO much more nutrition than the whites. If anyone ever tells you to eat egg whites – run, do not walk, away from their shitty advice. Avocados pack a healthy dose of fiber! In addition to being a healthy fat. Depending on the size, an avocado contains roughly 10 grams of fiber. That’s a lot of fiber! The probiotics are from both the fermented spicy cabbage and the sour cream. God…

Paleo Pork Belly Hash

This past weekend I went to the farmers market and bought a beautiful piece of pastured pork belly. You can see how I cooked it here. I decided to make a paleo pork belly hash, because hash anything is amazing. And adding pork belly basically blew my mind. I love pork belly. I know pork belly has a bad reputation, as does bacon. But bacon actually isn’t the devil’s food you’ve been led to believe it is. It’s actually high in monounsaturated fat, the same fat found in olive oil. The same fat that people in the Mediterranean eat and live healthier, longer lives. Read my article on why bacon is a health food and be sure to thank me later!

Paleo Breakfast Salad

I get really bored of eating eggs. So I have to be creative with them because there really isn’t anything better for breakfast. Eggs are incredibly nutrient dense and full of vitamins A, E, D and K, omega-3s and choline. Salmon tastes awesome and is also a rich source of omega-3s. I probably should’ve called this “anti-inflammatory breakfast salad” because that’s what it is. This is also a really easy breakfast to throw together, but it seems kind of fancy. It isn’t. And don’t be intimidated by poaching eggs. If you don’t know how to do it, watch this YouTube tutorial. Or just fry the egg!

Paleo Tomato & Herb Quiche

I kind of hate making breakfast. For the most part, I’m not hungry when I wake up (around 7 or 8) and work until I actually feel the need to eat (around 10 or 11). By that time, I don’t want to actually make breakfast, I kind of just want it to appear in front of me. Which is why I like making quiches or egg casseroles. Making a quiche at the beginning of the week allows me to just pop a piece in the oven on the toast setting for three minutes and be good to go. It makes my life easier and I like that. Plus, Paleo Tomato and Herb Quiche This paleo tomato and herb quiche is loaded with nutrients from the herbs, greens, eggs and tomatoes. 1 batch of paleo pie crust (see notes)1/2 cup milk of choice6 eggs2 tomatoes (sliced)1/2 cup basil1/4 cup dill1/4 cup…

Paleo Mexican Egg Muffins

I’m a big fan of making food in bulk on Sundays so that we have food throughout the week. I eat these for breakfast but more often than not I end up eating them post-workout or as a snack. They’re SO good. If you don’t like to set your face on fire like I do, you don’t have to use a whole jalapeño. I always urge my clients to prepare food in advance, it makes it much less likely that you’ll reach for something unhealthy when you don’t feel like cooking or are short for time. These egg muffins are a great, healthy option because they’re filled with protein, healthy fats and a bunch of veggies.

Change up your breakfast routine with this Easy Paleo Ground Turkey Hash recipe! My breakfast routine is usually pretty boring.

Paleo Biscuits

Truth be told, I’ve never been a huge fan of biscuits. I kinda feel like there are two people: people from the South who grew up eating sausage gravy over biscuits, and people from the North who grew up eating cream chipped ham over toast. I fall into the latter category. Except when I went to my best friend’s family’s vacation to Myrtle Beach every year when I was a kid. Then I was all over some sausage gravy and biscuits. Truth be told again, these aren’t those large, fluffy, white biscuits you find in the south. These are crumbly, buttery and delicious. They go great with soup, which is what we’ve been eating them with. I also discovered that they’re PERFECT for breakfast sandwiches. Throw a fried egg, some bacon or sausage, maybe even some grass-fed and raw cheese (if you eat dairy) on these suckers and you’ve got an…
