I have to say, Kabocha is my favorite variety of squash. You can even eat the peel! Compared with butternut squash, it’s lower in carbohydrates (good if you have blood sugar issues), and loaded with beta-carotene. I followed this super simple preparation from Nom Nom Paleo.
This is a nice, light summertime dish. It’s my go-to for a picnic, but also makes a quick lunch. I like to serve it with my new favorite almond flour tortillas from Must B Nutty or homemade wraps. It’s also good with Mary’s Gone Crackers, which are gluten free but not grain free. Or serve it inside half an avocado or with lettuce boats.

Sometimes a girl just needs a tortilla. Or a crepe. Or whatever. These satisfy my need to wrap up eggs and chicken salad. This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks, Against All Grain by Danielle Walker, and uses arrowroot powder which is a gluten free starch.
I found this recipe on my new favorite blog, This Rawsome Vegan Life. It’s yummy. And as you know, I’m already obsessed with cashew cream. If you want to experiment with macadamia nuts, those would work well, too.

This was the chosen recipe for my birthday this year… which just happened to coincide with Mother’s Day. I love carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. So we made this paleo version with a vegan cashew cream frosting, using a recipe modified just a bit from The Detoxinista. Gluten free, dairy free and no refined sugar. So I don’t feel bad eating the leftovers for breakfast.

This recipe is from Diane Sanfilippo’s Practical Paleo and is reminiscent of french toast. I like that it’s heavy on the egg, with no added sugar and very little coconut flour. These make a perfect breakfast or snack on the run.

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner… but if you’re anything like me, you’re celebrating this weekend on Nueve de Mayo. I’ve been making this recipe for carnitas, or pulled pork, consistently for the last 3 years now. If you’ve been to our annual fiesta, you know what I’m talking about. And you’ll see it again.

This is one of those recipes that will make you smell like garlic for a week, but will make anything you grill this summer WAY more delicious. We love it with chicken, steak, potatoes and grilled veggies like eggplant and mushrooms. It’s from our favorite Argentine chef, Francis Mallmann. My husband and I fell in love with his cookbook Seven Fires after honeymooning in Argentina.
