Less Blogging, More Home Cooked Meals
My favorite part about being a personal chef is interacting with different people. What started as meal service for busy families has turned into something more.
Why DIY Paleo is going temporarily egg-free and nut-free
For the next few months, you can expect to see a lot more egg- and nut-free recipes on DIY Paleo.
Clay Hair Mask
The one thing that keeps my hair looking acceptable for a day or two post-wash is this clay hair mask.
Candied Pecans
These are stupid simple to make and amazing to keep around for dessert. You can also sub the pecans for other kinds of nuts.
Beef Cheek Barbacoa
Beef cheek barbacoa is what you wish Chipotle tasted like. It’s tender, fatty, and falls apart in the pot.
Russian Sauerkraut
I’m a big fan of home fermentation projects, and homemade sauerkraut is excellent for DIY probiotics. We eat a couple of spoonfuls of this kraut nearly every day.
Coconut Whipped Cream
Coconut whipped cream actually tastes VERY similar to the dairy variety, and it saves the pumpkin pie every time.
Mint Chip Brownies
These mint chip brownies, therefore, are lighter and cakier than most brownie mixes you’d find in the grocery store. And there’s a special ingredient.
Dandelion Root Latte
For those days when I just miss the taste of coffee, I make this dandelion root latte. Dandelion supports the liver, and when boiled, the roasted root is the closest coffee substitute I’ve ever tried.
Beanless Chocolate Chili
I know chocolate chili sounds kind of weird. Kind of like putting a candy bar in your burrito. But let me assure you: cocoa powder, paired with cinnamon and cayenne, really steals the show on this one.
No-Cook Hollandaise Sauce
Hollandaise sauce is the Blessed Mother of sauces. It ups the delicious factor on any savory food tenfold.
Toothpaste
I LOVE how clean and smooth my teeth feel after using this. And you don’t need very much—just a dab will do.
Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo: the eighth wonder of the world. But also incredibly simple to make. If you’ve never tried dry shampoo at all, you’re missing out!
Goddess Dressing
Even though this dressing is good on just about any salad, my favorite is mustard greens.
Pancakes
These cakes hold their shape well, and with the addition of gelatin, they stick together without tasting too eggy.
Japchae (Korean Stir-Fry)
Japchae, or Korean stir-fry, has a sweet potato noodle (dangmyeon) base and is dairy-free, making it a Paleo win.
Zoodles (Zucchini Noodles) & Avocado Pesto Alfredo
Zucchini noodles make an excellent substitute for the wheat variety. Any time you can pack more veggies into your diet, more power to you.
