It's a two for one special!  Yep, two recipes in one post that go great together.  The delicious potato is often the black sheep of the Paleo diet in that it's hard to ignore that the potato is a natural food with no other ingredients that grows from the ground, yet not too many people want them around.  So if you typically pass on the potatoes, this combo recipe includes a delicious cauliflower substitute.  But let's not forget about the steak!  Thinly sliced with an Italian-style flair, this might just become one of your new favorite ways to cook steak. Italian Pan-Seared Steak And Mashed ...

Barbecue sauce... so good but so bad.  There may be nothing better slathered over meat on the grill, but nearly any store bought variety will have high fructose corn syrup as a main ingredient.  And if not that dreaded substance, then some other form of sugar.  Now admittedly, this recipe does have some sugar in the form of honey and orange juice.  But you can reduce or eliminate the quantity of either to your personal preference.  Personally I think this barbecue sauce is a great middle ground between sweet deliciousness and not spiking your blood sugar like you just ate a pint of ice cream. Barbecue Chicken ...

I know, I know... Jumbalaya is usually served over rice.  If you want to make some cauliflower "rice" to go with this recipe, go for it.  Personally I just eat this stuff as-is in a bowl without rice or rice substitute.  Also, jumbalaya traditionally uses andouille sausage which is a spicy smoked sausage.  I've kept the andouille sausage in the recipe but I know that will bother some paleo purists due to the potential for unnatural ingredients (smoke flavoring, synthetic casing, etc.).  So if you have a source for all natural sausage that you prefer (U.S. Wellness Meats perhaps), feel free to make the ...
