    paleo mac and cheese in a bowl

    September 22, 2021 Allergy Friendly

    Paleo Mac and Cheese (Nut Free, AIP, Whole30)

    This Paleo Mac and Cheese recipe is creamy and delicious! This recipe only takes minutes to make and is something the whole family can eat. If you enjoy this dish, you would also enjoy my Gluten Free Ravioli as well.

    What makes this AIP mac and cheese so good?

    • First off, nutritional yeast is amazing! It gives dishes that are cheesy like flavor without adding any real cheese. 
    • It is so simple and only takes minutes to make.
    • My husband even eats it!

    Paleo mac and cheese ingredients:

    • Cassava noodles–I love the Jovial ones. If you have not tried cassava noodles yet, they are amazing. They are both gluten free and grain free. I do not know what I did before Jovial came out with this amazing noodle! If you use my link HERE for a thrive market, you can get $25 off your first order. 
    • Nutritional yeast-This is what gives the mac n cheese that cheesy like flavor. I like to get it from either Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
    • Garlic powder-Lots of it. 
    • Sea salt-To add flavor.
    • Turmeric-To give the mac n cheese a golden flavor.
    • Arrowroot powder-This is what will thicken the sauce.
    • Coconut milk-For your liquid. I like the Trader Joe’s canned brand.
    • Ghee-To give it the buttery taste!
    whole30 mac and cheese ingredients

    How to make:

    1. First, make your noodles according to the instructions on the box. I like to make mine al dente. Keep in mind that the noodles will continue to cook even when you strain them so be sure they are not mushy and add salt to the water so they do not stick.
    2. Next, for the cheesy sauce, place all ingredients in a blender and blend until mixed throughout. 
    3. Set aside the cheese, now add the milk to a saucepan and 3 tbsp of the cheesy sauce (save the rest of the cheese seasoning for another time) on medium heat and whisky until a cheesy like sauce forms. Then, whisk in the ghee, then add the pasta. 
    4. Serve warm!

    What can I serve with this?

    • This recipe is great as is, but you can also serve it with broccoli! 
    leftover dairy free cheese sauce

    What should I do with the leftover cheese mix?

    • Save it for next time in an air tight mason jar.

    How should I reheat Whole30 mac and cheese?

    • I suggest reheating on the stovetop with ghee or in the microwave.

    If you love pasta salad as much as I do, be sure to check out my Traditional Gluten Free Pasta Salad on my blog! I love making this pasta salad for summer cookouts with my Cucumber Watermelon Salad.

    What makes this thai pasta salad so good?

    • First off, it is loaded with flavor!
    • Secondly, it has so many hidden vegetables in it, you do not even know you are getting in all of those veggies!
    • Third, it is super kid friendly. 
    pasta salad ingredients in a bowl

    Thai pasta salad key ingredients: 

    For the gluten free salad:

    Jovial cassava noodles-These are my go to gluten free noodles of choice. They are made with cassava flour which is a great paleo alternative. To be honest here, my husband cannot even tell the difference. I like to bulk order from Thrive market. If you use my link HERE you can save on your first order. 

    Red pepper-Red peppers are so sweet. Make sure to chop small.

    Zucchini, cabbage, onion and celery-To get more veggies in and add a crunch. Feel free to modify the added vegetables. Make sure to chop your vegetables into bite size pieces. 

    Fresh mint-A nice added touch.

    thai sauce ingredients in small bowls

    For the dairy free dressing:

    • Almond butter-This gives the sauce a thicker consistency and lots of flavor.
    • Fresh ginger-One of my favorite additions to almost any meal! It adds so much flavor and is so good for the gut.
    • Coconut aminos-A gluten free soy sauce alternative that really takes this Thai dish to the next level.
    • Honey-For a dash of sweetness-omit for Whole30.
    dairy free sauce ingredients in the blender

    How to make:

    For the sauce:

    • Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
    • For the thai pasta salad:
    • First, make the noodles according to the instructions on the box. I like to make mine al dente so they do not get too soft and soggy when mixed with the sauce. 
    • Next, chop up all of your veggies and place the sauce ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth.
    • Lastly, mix together all ingredients in a large bowl until everything is covered with sauce.

    Can I prep this in advance?

    • For sure! You can meal prep this recipe in advanced! I will say if you do not plan on eating it within a few days, I would wait to mix the sauce with the vegetables and noodles to ensure it does not get soggy.

    paleo bang bang shrimp with dairy free bang bang sauce in a bowl with broccoli

    September 16, 2021 Dairy free

    Whole30 Bang Bang Shrimp

    This Whole30 Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe is a favorite of my personal chefs. This dairy free bang bang sauce tastes just like the real stuff! With this recipe, you can have paleo bang bang shrimp on the table within 30 minutes!

    If you are a big fish eater like me, you will want to check out one of my other breaded fish recipes on my blog-Gluten Free Fish and Chips.

    What makes this Whole30 Bang Bang Shrimp so good?

    A few things:

    • The crispy gluten free fried shrimp. Cassava flour works wonders when making anything fried. It is so crispy. 
    • The creamy bang bang sauce tastes just like the real thing!
    bang bang shrimp ingredients laid out

    Key ingredients:

    For the gluten free fried shrimp:

    • Wild caught shrimp: I love to get all of my seafood and meats from Butcher Box! They send me a monthly supply of all of my favorites. Everything they have is of the highest quality. If you use my link HERE you can get free bacon for life. 
    • Cassava flour-I only use Otto’s. Not all brands are created equally. This recipe has only been tested with cassava. I like to buy it in bulk because I use it a lot.
    • Coconut milk-You can use any kind of milk you would like but coconut is my favorite. This is what will get the breading to stick.
    • Spices-I love using a good bit of garlic powder and sea salt to flavor the breading.

    For the bang bang sauce:

    • Avocado mayo-This is a great alternative for regular mayo. It contains avocado oil vs vegetable oils which is a lot better for the body.
    • Sriracha-To give it that bang bang taste!
    • Ketchup-Make sure it is unsweetened.
    • Lemon-To add to the tangy flavor.

    How to make paleo bang bang shrimp:

    For the dairy free bang bang sauce:

    • Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

    For the gluten free fried shrimp:

    • Place all of the spices and the flour in one bowl and mix. In a separate bowl, add the milk. 
    • Next, on the stovetop, add the ghee to a pan on medium heat and in one hand dip the shrimp in the coconut milk. 
    • In the other hand, after you dip the milk, dip the shrimp in the breading. Dip the shrimp in the breading twice to get it nice and crispy.
    • Then, add to the stove for 3 minutes. Do not touch the shrimp, it needs to get crispy and then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

    What should I serve this with?

    • So many options! This goes great with just broccoli.
    • You can make it with my homemade Whole30 tortillas with a cabbage slaw.
    • You can eat over greens.

    Equipment

    • Non stick frying pan.

    Ingredients

    For the shrimp:

    • 1 pound shrimp I like the mini ones. Wild caught, tail off. Use my link for Butcher Box and get free bacon for life!
    • 1/2 cup coconut milk
    • 1 cup cassava flour I ONLY use Otto's brand. Not all cassava flour is the same.
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • pinch sea salt
    • 1/4 cup ghee

    For the sauce:

    • 2/3 cup avocado mayo
    • 3 tsp sriracha
    • 1 whole lemon juiced
    • 3 tbsp ketchup unsweetened
    • 2 tsp coconut aminos
    • 3 cloves garlic minced

    Instructions

    For the sauce:

    • Place all ingredients in bowl and mix until smooth.

    For the shrimp:

    • Add the cassava flour and spices to a bowl and mix. Add the milk to another bowl. With one hand dip the shrimp into the milk, then with your other hand dip the shrimp into the flour mixture. Now, set on a plate. Do this with all of your shrimp. Then, dip the shrimp again in the flour mixture. This will ensure a nice coat of crispy batter! Set aside the shrimp. Add ghee to a pan on medium heat. Once the pan is heated add the shrimp (DO NOT TOUCH THE SRHIMP UNTIL 3 MINUTES IT UP) this is the key for it to get crispy. Then, flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Repeat until all of the shrimp is cooked-Note, you may need to add more ghee to the pan in between Serve with greens, broccoli or in a taco shell with slaw. See above text for homemade whole30 taco shells.

    Paleo Meal Plan Week 26

    This is this weeks paleo meal plan. I have received a lot of great feedback so I am going to continue to create them. All of this weeks recipes are paleo and gluten free friendly. If they are AIP and keto friendly it will say so in the description. Feel free to use previous week’s meal plans that can be found here.  If you would like to get the complete shopping list be sure to sign up for my newsletter below and I will send you your grocery list weekly. All you have to do is shop!

    photo collage of one savory breakfast and seven lunch or dinner paleo meals with lavender accents

    How the Paleo Meal Plan Works:

      • If meal prepping your food in advance is your thing, I highly suggest getting meal prep containers or containers like these so your meals are ready to eat.
      • Included in this post are 8 meals, 7 dinners and 1 breakfast. When making the meals for dinner I suggest making an extra portion so you can eat it for lunch. Keep in mind these are an inspiration, so feel free to swap things out. Each recipe contains the meal only, feel free to add a side. We love roasting veggies to go with our meals. If you would like the full complete shopping list that goes with my meal plan, be sure to subscribe to my email list. If you have questions or need assistance, please comment below. If you make one of my recipes I would so grateful if  you left a comment and a star rating review on the recipe in my blog or took a picture and tagged me in it on Instagram @alliannaskitchen

After nearly a decade of going without one of my childhood favorite meals I decided to recreate a healthy paleo, AIP, and whole30 version. The cassava wraps are naturally AIP friendly and go great with just about anything. The homemade ranch dressing is everything ranch dressing should be: fresh, “buttermilk” and full of flavor. This recipe includes both an AIP and Whole30 ranch option, both are delicious! The arrowroot powder is what acts as the breading for these crispy chicken tenders.

    • Ground pork: I love to get my meats and seafood from Butcher Box! Butcher Box sends me a monthly supply of all of my favorites. The best part is, I never run out and when I am ready to make something I just take it out of the freezer the day prior to let it defrost.
    • Ground ginger-Make sure it is fresh. It makes a huge difference! I like using this ginger grater here, be careful not to cut yourself. Ginger is one of those tough things to grate because it is so small. Do it nice and slow!
    • Sriracha-I love the Trader Joe’s brand.
    • Coleslaw-You can buy it in a bag. I suggest chopping it into bite size pieces. 
    • Coconut aminos-My go to soy sauce alternative. I love the Trader Joe’s brand. 
    • Garlic and yellow onion-To enhance the taste. Make sure the garlic is minced and the onions are chopped. 
    • Rice vinegar sesame oil-To give this dish that Asian like taste! If you do not tolerate rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar. 

     

    OPTIONAL:

    Prosciutto Egg Cups on a plate with fruit

    September 9, 2021 Breakfast

    Prosciutto Egg Cups (Paleo, Keto)

    These Prosciutto Egg Cups make for a perfect breakfast and snack! They only take 10 minutes to prep and are great for mornings where you are on the go. The roasted red pepper combined with the fresh garlic and spinach is oh so delicious! If you enjoy this recipe, you will also enjoy my AIP Pancakes as well.

    Prosciutto Egg Cups on a plate with fruit

    What makes these prosciutto egg cups so good?

    • First, the taste! The sweet roasted red pepper really takes these egg muffins to a whole new level.
    • Second, they are so convenient! I love to make them for meal prep and at the start of my week. They only take minutes to prep and I can have them all week long.
    Prosciutto Egg Cups ingredients laid out

    Key ingredients for prosciutto egg cups?

    • Eggs-I prefer cage free, free range. You can actually see a difference in the yolk when you buy free range!
    • Prosciutto-I like to get it freshly cut from the Butcher. Good quality prosciutto can be expensive, but it is worth it. Anytime I have sacrificed the quality for the price, I end up getting bloated. Cured meats like this tend to have a lot of salt and preservatives but that can be avoided if you use good quality stuff 🙂
    • Roasted red peppers-You can buy yours in a jar or you can roast your own in the oven with a little bit of avocado oil, salt and pepper. I like to roast them at 500 for 30 minutes or so.
    • Spinach-It is ok if you have spinach that you found in the fridge that is a little wilted! We are sauteeing it so it will not really matter. Chop the spinach real fine.
    • Garlic-To give these egg bites even more flavor!
    • Ghee-To saute the garlic and spinach in
    step by step process on how to make the prosciutto egg cups

    What kind of muffin pan should I use?

    • I do not like using traditional muffin pans for these as they tend to stick. I LOVE using my silicone muffin liners. They are super easy to clean and the muffins just pop right out. You can buy them HERE. 
    prosciutto egg muffins in the silicone cups

    How do I make these egg cups?

    • First, preheat the oven to 350.
    • Now, spray your muffin liners with avocado oil.
    • Sautee your minced garlic and chopped spinach in the ghee until wilted. Mix the red peppers with the spinach and garlic mixture.
    • Next, line your muffin cup with a full piece of prosciutto. 
    • Then, add in 1 tbsp of the spinach mixture.
    • Now, crack an egg on top.
    • If your prosciutto slice is big you may want to trim it or you can leave it hanging over. 
    • Finally, bake for 30 minutes or until the egg is cooked to your liking! 

    How can I reheat?

    • You can reheat in the microwave but I always think that food tastes so much better in the oven. I like to reheat in the oven at 350 for 5-10 minutes. 

    Chef’s tips:

    • Make sure you spray the muffin liners with the avocado oil to ensure that the egg muffins do not stick!
    • Allow the muffins to cool before removing from the muffin liners. 
    • To clean the silicone muffin pan, soak in water and then rinse the reminisce with a paper towel.

    whole30 hummus in a bowl with vegetables

    September 8, 2021 Allergy Friendly

    Whole30 Hummus (AIP Friendly)

    This Whole30 hummus is seriously to die for and it is loaded with nutrients! This Whole30 alternative also happens to be autoimmune protocol friendly too. The creamy blended artichokes combined with the lemon juiced, fresh garlic and saute onions is quite yummy!

    paleo hummus in a bowl

    What makes this Whole30 hummus so good?

    • The artichokes blend so nicely and the added garlic, lemon juice, sea salt and saute onions is what really makes this recipe.
    • When I first started the autoimmune paleo protocol years ago one of the things I missed most was hummus and this recipe really did the trick!

    whole30 hummus ingredients in small bowls

    AIP Hummus Key Ingredients: 

    • Canned artichokes- Make sure they are in water, not oil. I also like to be sure that they are not combined with any other ingredients. Just make sure it is pure artichoke hearts!
    • Lemon juice-This adds a nice citrus kick!
    • Olive oil-This is my go to fat of choice for the recipe. It helps the hummus blend together nicely. 
    • Red onion-Make sure it is sauteed! It makes a huge difference. 
    • Ghee-To saute the red onion.
    • OPTIONAL-Tahini to really give this beanless hummus the hummus like taste.

    whole30 hummus in a blender

    How to make:

    • First, add the ghee to a pan and place it on medium heat. Once the ghee is melted, add the chopped onion and saute until translucent. 
    • Next, add all ingredients to the blender on high and blend until smooth. Note, you may have to scrape the sides down to ensure that everything gets blended!

    What should I serve with this Whole30 hummus?

    • So many different options! 
      • Vegetables
      • Tortillas-You could even make my homemade tortilla recipe into tortilla chips by cutting the tortillas into triangles once they are cooked, throwing them back in the oven at 450 with some ghee and salt until they are nice and crispy. 

    How long does this last in the fridge?

    • I suggest keeping it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week!

    September 7, 2021 Meal Plans

    Paleo Meal Plan Week 25

    This is this weeks paleo meal plan. I have received a lot of great feedback so I am going to continue to create them. All of this weeks recipes are paleo and gluten free friendly.

    How the Paleo Meal Plan Works:

      • If meal prepping your food in advance is your thing, I highly suggest getting meal prep containers or containers like these so your meals are ready to eat.
      • Included in this post are 8 meals, 7 dinners and 1 breakfast. When making the meals for dinner I suggest making an extra portion so you can eat it for lunch. Keep in mind these are an inspiration, so feel free to swap things out. Each recipe contains the meal only, feel free to add a side. We love roasting veggies to go with our meals. If you would like the full complete shopping list that goes with my meal plan, be sure to subscribe to my email list. If you have questions or need assistance, please comment below.

    • Unsweetened paleo ketchup-I love this brand! I would have never guessed that most ketchup has sugar in it so be sure to use a brand that is clean like this ONE!
    • Tomato paste-To give these sloppy joes flavor!
    • Garlic-To add even more flavor. Make sure it is minced!
    • Cassava noodles-I am OBSESSED with Jovial cassava noodles. They are so good. I have only been able to find them online HERE. If you use my link for Thrive Market, you can save $25 on your first order!

    Paleo Meal Plan Week 24

    This is this weeks paleo meal plan. I have received a lot of great feedback so I am going to continue to create them. All of this weeks recipes are paleo and gluten free friendly. If they are AIP and keto friendly it will say so in the description. Feel free to use previous week’s meal plans that can be found here.  If you would like to get the complete shopping list be sure to sign up for my newsletter below and I will send you your grocery list weekly. All you have to do is shop!

    Week 24 Paleo Meal Plan

    How the Paleo Meal Plan Works:

      • If meal prepping your food in advance is your thing, I highly suggest getting meal prep containers or containers like these so your meals are ready to eat.
      • Included in this post are 8 meals, 7 dinners and 1 breakfast. When making the meals for dinner I suggest making an extra portion so you can eat it for lunch. Keep in mind these are an inspiration, so feel free to swap things out. Each recipe contains the meal only, feel free to add a side. We love roasting veggies to go with our meals. If you would like the full complete shopping list that goes with my meal plan, be sure to subscribe to my email list. If you have questions or need assistance, please comment below. If you make one of my recipes I would so grateful if  you left a comment and a star rating review on the recipe in my blog or took a picture and tagged me in it on Instagram @alliannaskitchen
