This lush and creamy soup gets it’s rich texture from a combo of coconut milk and pureed cauliflower. It’s loaded with herbs, and bulked up with tender shredded chicken.
If you have leftover chicken, this is a great use for it.
It’s a filling lunch that is low in carbs and high in protein, but has the added bonus of being delicious.
It’s like the comforting cream of chicken soup you remember from you childhood, but way better and way healthier!

Spiced Apple Pear Sauce
Spiced apple pear sauce - yum! Have you ever thought about how versatile apple sauce is? I honestly hadn't - until I was writing up this little article right now. You can have it for breakfast, lunch, as a dessert, as a side dish to dinner, as a little snack when you're hungry.
It will basically hit the spot any time of the day - but I didn't even realize it until now. Guess what will be making an appearance in my meal prep routine in the coming weeks!
As if apple sauce wasn't already a win, this recipe manages to make it EVEN better. Adding pear gives apple sauce a fun little twist. Add some warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg - ...

The Perfect Paleo Holiday Menu
The lights are up. The trees are decorated. The family traditions are in full swing. The parties are often.
It's official - the holidays are here! It's the most wonderful time of the year.
I have always loved this time of the year. I know there's a lot going on in the world, and sometimes it can feel trivial, or even insensitive, to celebrate when there's a world of turmoil out there.
But I believe, when the world feels that way, it's even more important that we choose to celebrate and surround ourselves with people, spaces, music, and food that we love.
That's just my two cents :)
Hosting a holiday dinner party can ...

Perfectly Poached Eggs With The Instant Pot
Eggs are an absolute staple in my house. Most mornings, I eat eggs in some fashion - in a scramble, an omelet, over easy with bacon and veggies on the side. I don't get burnt out on food too often.
But, sometimes I feel that way about eggs. And when that happens, you just have to switch up your egg game.
Are you with me on that? If you are, then it's time to try to poach 'em.
Poaching is notoriously tricky to do just right. But with the use of my favorite kitchen gadget (hellooooo Instant Pot), you can get it right every single time. And it is stupid easy to do.
Basically, you can crack the eggs into a small container and put that ...

Steak, Eggs, and Broccoli
Steak and eggs is a classic breakfast combo, but it’s gets the addition of fiber and nutrients with broccoli added in.
When sautéed in oil, broccoli turns into a different veggie than when steamed — it’s crisp and flavorful, and goes perfectly with the steak.
A cast iron skillet is perfect for this dish to get a perfectly fried egg and well browned steak.
If you're just starting the keto diet, this is the perfect recipe to keep in your rotation. It can be whipped up for breakfast or dinner. It keeps green things on your plate, for which we'll always be advocates.
Don't forget about our keto calculator tool. This will help you ...

Marinated Raw Feta
I know, I know...this recipe isn't strictly Paleo. We have been publishing Paleo content for over five years, and we're still huge believers in the power of a Paleo lifestyle.
But we know interests are changing as well. You have probably noticed that we've got more keto - and just foundational nutrition and lifestyle - articles here as well recently. And we've got great feedback on these types of posts. So we're rolling with it.
If you follow a Paleo diet, but choose to include dairy occasionally, most people would consider that to be "Primal." For the record, I don't particularly care what you label it. Just saying that you eat real ...

Mediterranean Skillet Frittata
I like recipes that are as simple as possible. That's kind of how I see a frittata. A skillet frittata - like this one - is something you can cook quickly before you head out the door.
It will fill you up for hours because it’s loaded with protein, and when you add tons of veggies, it’s full of fiber.
You can also add whatever you like, so feel free to customize this based on what you have on hand, or like.
And don't think that you can only have this for breakfast. I've literally had a frittata for breakfast, lunch, or dinner before. It's filling, savory, and satiating, so it works for any meal, I say.
How are you going to ...

Congratulations To Primal Kitchen!
Congrats to our friends over at Primal Kitchen!
On November 29th, the Kraft Heinz Company agreed to aquire Primal Kitchen for $200 million - a deal to be completed in early 2019. As I’m sure you know, Kraft Heinz is famous for its ketchup and various condiments. They also own Miracle Whip.
This move by Kraft Heinz to buy Primal Kitchen can be seen as a way for the company to compete with society’s demand to have high-quality products with safe ingredients on store shelves.
It’s about time this all went mainstream, am I right?
Primal Kitchen was founded by our good friend Mark Sisson who started the Primal Kitchen blog over a ...

Oh, bone broth - the magical elixir. Have you ever wondered why chicken soup is heralded as a healing food?
It might just have to do with the broth.

Bone broth might just be the easiest thing to make. All you need is bones, some veggies, herbs, and water. You throw everything in the pot and let it sit over heat.
But there's one way to make bone broth EVER easier. And let's be honest - we all love shortcuts.
