Practical Paleo Recipe Roundup

As you may know, I’ve been cooking a lot from Diane Sanfilippo’s new book, Practical Paleo, and have even posted a couple of the recipes. In honor of everything I’ve made so far, as well as her awesome book, here’s a little photo recap of the dishes I’ve tried. In case you’re wondering, all the dishes were delicious and are worthy of making again … and again … and again. Sorry, but aside from the dishes and recipes I already shared from Diane’s book (I mentioned below – in the captions of the photos – which recipes you can find in previous posts), I did not share the other recipes I tried. Hopefully, it’ll be an incentive for you to buy the book! I can’t keep giving away all her recipes, after all!

Balsamic braised short ribs on top of candied carrots. I can't have balsamic vinegar because of the SCD, so Diane recommended subbing apple cider vinegar instead. It turned out great!

Summer squash caprese noodle salad.

The very first recipe I tried (while I was in Michigan) was the summer squash caprese noodle salad. I didn’t have a julienne peeler though, so I cut the zucchini into thin strips instead. Click for the recipe from a previous post.

I also mixed together a small batch of the chocolate mooless mousse for Jesse. I can't have cocoa quite yet though.

Light buttercups -- these were melt-in-your-mouth amazing! The recipe calls for almond butter, but I used sunflower seed butter because I had some on hand.

Another shot of the light buttercups. Aren't they beautiful?
