Coconut Chunk Curried Kale Salad
Gluten-free, paleo and vegan salad with curry-infused roasted vegetables in a tart lemon sauce, folded in with fresh coconut meat, kale and pomegranate seeds. There was a sale on whole coconuts at the grocery store the other day… so I bought 7 of them. Now, I am on a mission to come up with new…
No Potatoes! Potato Salad (paleo)
Classic potato salad with a tangy cream sauce, loaded with fresh herbs and finely chopped fresh vegetables. Only, there are no potatoes in this potato salad!

Paleo Quiche with a Nut-free + Grain-free Crust
Paleo quiche with a nut-free, grain-free crust. Filled with roasted organic asparagus, organic leek and free-range eggs. Pure, simple, good. I grew up disliking quiche. The whole concept of cooked eggs in a pie crust just didn’t do it for me. It wasn’t an omelet, it wasn’t pie… and we ate it a lot. Let’s…
