Paleo Jambalaya

We love jambalaya, but more often than not it has a lot of undesirable ingredients and leaves us cursing ourselves for putting our stomach through the ringer.  What we really enjoy about a dish like jambalaya  are the flavors, so it's fairly easy to recreate a much lighter version of this spicy cajun dish.

If you have the butternut squash puree on hand this dish is a pretty quick weeknight meal - less than 20 minutes from chopping to gorging - and the precooked Andouille sausage is key.  You won't get the same flavor if you use kielbasa.  Depending on how spicy you like it, you can kick up the cayenne.

The Ultimate Paleo Breakfast Skillet

I cook my husband breakfast every morning.  Most people will say that I'm spoiling him, but it's an easy way to show him I love him, and I genuinely enjoying doing it.  Enough sappy stuff..it's Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands 101.  When I have leftovers I usually try to get creative with breakfast, and this little experiment was a success.

This 'kitchen sink skillet' is also good if you're going out of town and need to clean out the fridge.

Paleo Kale, Yam & Kielbasa Soup

There has been a nasty bug making it's way around my circle... a hacking, snotty, feverish bug that took us both down.  I had trouble motivating myself to fill up my water glass, let alone try and make myself something to eat.  While my appetite was 'meh' at best, you still have to eat something, and this is my go-to, throw-together-in-a-pinch type of soup.


Keep reading for the (ridiculously easy) recipe.  So easy even a sick person can do it.

Frittata of the Week

I don't need to tell anyone the benefits of eating a good paleo, protein filled breakfast.  Even your mom knew it was most important meal of the day.  But then Monday morning arrives in a harried fury and you find yourself 15 minutes late before your alarm has even gone off.  In a post-shower mad rush with your wet hair, maybe in a panic you grab a banana, and tell yourself this is the last week you'll start unprepared. Out the door you go, inevitably forgetting something.

Eating paleo isn't hard if you're prepared, which is sometimes easier said than done, but with this easy recipe, you'll have breakfast every morning of the week with only a few extra minutes of work. 


Frittata of the Week: Chicken Jalapeno Sausage and Red Onion

I got my sausage from a specialty market meat counter, it's a great way to get fresh sausage, and you can talk to the butcher about what ingredients it may have, as well as the flavors.

Brown sausage (about 1 lb, removed from casing) and 1 chopped red onion on a pan.  Spray baking dish with olive oil/canola oil spray, and dump in onion/sausage mixture.  Beat eggs - for this size dish I used 10 eggs, which feeds the husband for 5 days - with a pinch if salt and a couple tbs of water.  Dump in the baking dish and grind some pepper on top.

Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes, or until the middle has set.  Garnish with fresh chopped chives.  Keep it covered in the fridge and cut yourself a square every morning - it's delicious hot or cold.
