Sauteed Cabbage with Sausage and Mushrooms

Sauteed Cabbage with Sausage and Mushrooms by Cassandra Plank

Sauteed Cabbage with Sausage and MushroomsHere is another one-pan meal loosely based on a recipe from The Everything Paleolithic Diet Book. The original uses a little bacon and Brussels sprouts, but I decided to use it as a guideline to make a more hearty dish. This is a really inexpensive meal and a great way to stretch higher…

Ginger-Orange Chicken and Broccoli

Ginger-Orange Chicken and Broccoli by Cassandra Plank

Ginger-Orange Chicken and BroccoliOne of the recipes I altered to make a one-pan meal was their ginger-orange chicken. The original didn't have any vegetables, so I added some broccoli, which I thought would be nice with the orange and ginger flavor. I also added coconut aminos to help make a nice sauce. The sauce reminded me of an…

Pizza Night!

Pizza Night! by Cassandra Plank

I recently posted a grain-free pizza crust recipe as well as a meaty tomato sauce recipe, and I combined them to make an amazing pizza! I didn't even miss the flour-based crust because my squash crust highlighted the toppings to well! Here's what I put on my pizza and how I made it:After making the crust, I topped the pizza with about…

Creamy Roasted Garlic and Butternut Squash Soup by Cassandra Plank

Creamy Roasted Garlic and Butternut Squash SoupClasses are about to start again, so my mind is already on fall, which is my favorite season. I can't wait to get my boots and sweaters out to wear again. I've also been thinking of my favorite fall foods, like pumpkin and butternut squash. In my pre-wheat belly days, one of my favorite…

Primal Yellow Summer Squash Pizza Crust

Primal Yellow Summer Squash Pizza Crust by Cassandra Plank

Primal Yellow Summer Squash Pizza CrustThe other day I got some summer squash for free from the greenhouse at work. They were kind of pithy in the middle and the skin on the outside was tough, so I didn't want to just saute them. I remembered some great veggie-based pizza crusts from the blog Your Lighter Side, so I headed over to…

Hearty Meat Sauce with Garlic and Herbs

Hearty Meat Sauce with Garlic and Herbs by Cassandra Plank

Hearty Meat Sauce with Garlic and HerbsI made a hearty meat sauce the night before last because I didn't have anything to take with me to work for lunch the next day. I made a similar thick meat sauce when I was doing Whole 30 and needed some protein one night. I use the word "sauce" liberally here, because there's more meat than…

Smokey Bacon Meatloaf

Smokey Bacon Meatloaf by Cassandra Plank

Smokey Bacon MeatloafI finally got tired of my trips to the salad bar (pretty much the only thing I've been eating lately are homemade salad or salads made from the bar at my local grocery store!) and made a real meal the other night! I have been avoiding trying to heat my oven a lot, which would make my apartment uncomfortably warm,…

What I've Been Cooking Lately

What I've Been Cooking Lately by Cassandra Plank

What I've Been Cooking LatelyThough I haven't spent a lot of time making up my own recipes lately, I have been taking the time to cook some recipes from others! I am fortunate enough to have a lot of nice cookbooks, and sometimes I forget to cook from them because I get busy with my own tangents. When I get really busy, I notice that…

My Whole 30 Review by Cassandra Plank

My Whole 30 ReviewI completed my Whole 30 earlier this month, so here is a little review of my experience. I wanted to give myself a little time before writing this so I would be able to reflect and also to see how I did when I got back into the "real world."For some background, I have been eating Paleo for a year now (my first…
