Paleo Blueberry Muffins
Do you ever get the desire to bake? I'm not the biggest baker in the world, but it will hit me every now and then...especially if I've just been watching The Great British Bake-Off.
Have you watched this series on Netflix yet?
If you haven't, I'm a little jealous because you get to experience the joy of having your eyes opened to the cutest, friendliest, sweet-as-pie baking show on air.
The premise is similar to any other cooking show except for the fact that the contestants and judges have to-die-for accents and everyone is SO. FRIENDLY.
Sure, the stakes are high (everyone is fighting to be crowned Britain's top amateur ...

Coconut Creamed Cucumbers
These coconut creamed cucumbers are the easiest appetizer or snack. We get a lot of questions about snacks - and understandbly so. There are so many options out there that it can be overwhelming to know what is best to eat.
There are few things I look for when picking a snack - am I getting some sort of nutrition from it? Vitamins, minerals, fiber?
If I can incorporate veggies into it - even better. I think we can all agree that we all need to eat more vegetables. And veggie-filled snacks are an easy way to up our intake.
Is it going to keep my blood sugar stable? I want some sort of healthy fat or protein involved.
And that's ...

Detox Green Smoothie
Have you ever eaten or drank something that tasted just like the color it was?
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? Or am I just crazy?
This smoothie is a prime example - it tastes GREEN. Like if green had a taste, it would be this.
I personally love smoothies because they are the easiest way to get a bunch of vitamins and minerals into your body in one 8oz glass. But the thing you have to watch out for when it comes to smoothies is the sugar content.
Even smoothies that are made of fruit can have a really high sugar content. It tastes delicious - obviously - but it can spike your blood sugar just like your favorite candy ...

Tuna Cucumber Bites
When it comes to parties, appetizers can start the shin-dig off in the right way. But here's the thing - I don't like to spend a whole lot of time on them. I'd rather spend that time deep cleaning, decorating, or putting some time into desserts (come on, you know that's my fav...)
So, I'm always on the hunt for super easy appetizers that I know my friends will love. I think these tuna cucumber bites hit both of those points pretty easily.
Protein-packed tuna and crunchy seedless cucumber makes a great combination. When you combine the tuna with onion, garlic, dill, and lemon, it really pops on the tastebuds.
When it comes to picking ...

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 ...

A few tips for this recipe - if you're making them in advance for a party or gathering, be sure to make the filling on its own. Then you can cut open the avocados and scoop in the salmon right before you need to serve them.
