Paleo Carrot Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting

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.

Fresh Herb Chimichurri Sauce

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.

Ginger-Tamari Vinaigrette

This is my favorite vinaigrette on the planet. From one of my favorite chefs on the planet. Tyler Florence’s cookbook, Eat This Book Cooking With Global Fresh Flavors, is not explicitly gluten free, but has a lot of clean, simple recipes that are easy to modify. This one is amazing with a simple salad or asparagus to accompany Asian inspired dishes, like Asian Meatballs. It’s also great with salmon or shrimp, and also on rice if you tolerate grains.
