This recipe for the classic hamburger is sure to satisfy your cravings. Customize it to your taste by adding your favorite toppings such as a homemade aioli, mustard, pickles, sliced red onion, tomato, lettuce, sliced cheese, avocado, caramelized onions, or crispy uncured bacon.

Carne Asada Tacos

Carne asada is ridiculously easy to make and incredibly flavorful! This recipe can also easily be adapted to fit your particular diet (see modifications). We like to use homemade Brown Rice Flour Tortillas for serving, however, for a paleo or grain-free version, use homemade Cassava Tortillas. I use blood oranges for the marinade, but you can substitute regular oranges if needed. Serve the carne asada with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Balsamic Grilled Chicken

This is a great meal prep recipe to make! You can keep the cooked chicken breasts in your refrigerator and make wraps, lettuce salads topped with grilled chicken, or serve them fresh off the grill with baked potatoes or baked sweet potatoes and steamed green beans.

Homemade Crème Fraîche

The process of making creme fraîche is identical to yogurt, but heavy cream is used instead of milk, giving it a very rich and creamy flavor. I ferment mine for 24 hours in a yogurt maker, therefore it is suitable for lactose-free diets such as low-FODMAP, GAPS, and SCD.

Roasted fennel and green beans become tender and caramelized, while a squeeze of lemon and a handful of arugula add brightness and balance. It’s perfect on its own for a light, nourishing dinner, or serve it alongside Herb Roasted Potatoes and a crisp Green Salad for a more complete meal.

Garden Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing

This dressing recipe is so nutritious and flavorful that it might become a family favorite. Walnuts are an excellent source of healthy fats, and recent research shows that eating walnuts can improve brain function and memory. Soaking walnuts overnight makes them more digestible and also creates a creamy white salad dressing!

Vegan Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins

Serve these lovely muffins as an after-school snack to your children. Oats are high in beta-glucans, which serve as a substrate for Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli bacteria in the gut. These bacteria then produce short-chain fatty acids which nourish the cells lining the gut. Look for organic rolled oats to minimize pesticide exposure. If you are gluten-free, then choose organic rolled oats that are also certified gluten-free.

Rice Cake with Cucumber and Hummus

This satisfying snack comes together quickly and is easy enough that a school-aged child can make it. If they aren't yet ready to cut vegetables, you can slice the cucumbers and onions ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator so they are easily accessible. Make your own hummus, or look for a local brand of hummus made with olive oil.

Balsamic Sheet Pan Chicken

Sheet pan meals are the ultimate dish to prepare on weeknights when you are short on time. This dish was designed to use ingredients that you are likely to have in your kitchen already—other vegetables such as zucchini, green beans, cauliflower, mushrooms, and red onion could be used in place of the ones suggested here, if you prefer.

Homemade Corn Tortillas

Making our own corn tortillas is a fun family activity; my twin boys like to mix the masa and water together, while my girls like to press the dough into tortillas and cook them. Use homemade tortillas for chicken fajitas, black bean tacos, or Fish Tacos. Be sure to purchase organic masa harina to avoid consuming genetically engineered food.

These roasted potatoes are packed with a bright lemon flavor, and they're the perfect side dish to serve with any herb-roasted chicken or fish, such as a Whole Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Herbs, Lemon Butter Roasted Chicken with Green Olives, or Herb Roasted Halibut. Because of all of the liquid in this recipe, the potatoes will not end up crispy, but very tender.

Grain-Free Butternut Squash Muffins

These high-protein muffins make a great snack when on a restrictive diet. I like to cook butternut squash in my Instant Pot to have on hand for muffins or to serve as a simple side dish. Serve warm muffins with raw honey and coconut butter for a treat!

Slow-Roasted Whole Turkey

Slow-roasting a whole turkey at a lower heat is an excellent way to produce very tender meat. If you have the time, I would highly recommend trying this method! Every year I like to purchase a couple of extra whole turkeys in November when they are in season and put them in my deep freezer.

Cucumber Arame Salad

Incorporating sea vegetables into your weekly diet is one of the healthiest things you can do. Seaweed is a rich source of iodine, a mineral needed to make thyroid hormones. Serve this refreshing salad with baked fish or adzuki beans and brown rice.

Black Currant Vinegar

We have a black currant bush in our garden that produces so many berries. My children will pick the berries by the handfuls and bring them into the kitchen for me to deal with. We simply cannot eat them all right away. I like to toss them into our green smoothies, make strawberry-currant-honey jam, and make this nourishing vinegar. You can use this beautiful purple vinegar in salad dressings or eat it by the spoonful as daily medicine.

Raw Blueberry Cheesecake

This raw cheesecake is dairy-free and still ever so rich and creamy! The combination of raw soaked cashews and coconut oil is what makes the “cheese” filling. I use hazelnuts and almonds for the crust but just about any nut will work. If you would like to savor this cheesecake then slice it up and freeze each piece in serving-sized containers. When ready to serve, put a container of frozen cheesecake in the fridge to thaw for a day before serving.

Nori Rolls with Raw Pumpkin Seed-Parsley Pâté

This nutrient dense lunch or snack will keep you energized all day. Soaked pumpkin seeds are more digestible and also easy to blend down into a paste. Add your favorite veggies to the nori rolls along with the pâté. Try sliced cucumbers, red bell peppers, shredded carrots, or microgreens!

Recipe
Spicy Korean Noodles

Serve this spicy Korean noodle salad for lunch or dinner! Add a few extra hardboiled eggs for more protein. Jjolmyeon is a type of Korean noodle typically used in this dish that is made from wheat flour and starch, giving it a chewy texture. Using cassava noodles may not be traditional, but it does make it grain-free and gluten-free! This noodle dish also typically uses a spicy Korean red chili powder or paste—instead, I have created a dressing that uses ingredients most home cooks have in their pantries.

Hot and Sour Mung Bean Soup

This easy Instant Pot bean soup recipe can be made in minutes! It's a spinoff of traditional hot and sour soup that typically uses egg and chicken with a cornstarch thickener. Use homemade chicken stock or vegetable stock—this is the key element to a flavorful soup!

Berry Salad with Honey-Poppyseed Vinaigrette

Serve this colorful salad during berry season! The red wine vinegar can be replaced with a fruit vinegar such as raspberry vinegar or Black Currant Vinegar. Add other berries that might be in season, such as black raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. If you can tolerate dairy products, then try adding a little crumbled feta cheese to the salad.
