All the flavors of your favorite spicy chicken wings in an easy dip.

Save that fat - it is delicious. Pour it into a heat-safe container and store in the fridge until you want something to taste extra good by cooking with it. Once the bacon is all cooled off, I wrap up two slices at a time in paper towels and store them in the fridge for later. To reheat, pop the paper towel bundled bacon in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. My super awesome microwave from the 1980s in the rental property where I live doesn't have a digital display, but I assume it was around that long since that's about how long it takes to reheat in a microwave that shouldn't be kicked off a cliff. I like doing this on the weekend because by Wednesday it's like hell yeah, I have bacon.

The awesome thing about this is that you could swap out the vegetables with whatever you have on hand, and even add sausage or bacon crumbles. Although I would recommend using broccoli so that you can sing the Choppin' Broccoli song by Dana Carvey while you prep.

I spent a week eating this stuff on butter lettuce or pure wraps with garlic rosemary aioli and spinach like it's my job. It's so good.

I love my mom a lot. I don't think she gets the Paleo lifestyle, though. So when she asked if I wanted her low-cal peanut butter cookie recipe, I politely declined. She had tucked it into one of my St. Nicholas Day gifts anyway and after looking it over, I figured I'd give it a shot with some modifications. There's original calls for peanut butter, which I subbed for sunflower seed butter. It also calls for 3/4 cup of Splenda and 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar, which I swapped for 1 cup of blonde palm sugar and 1 tbsp of molasses. The original didn't call for the pinch of sea salt, but it's an awesome addition, in my opinion.

You could easily use a sweet potato if you don't tolerate regular potatoes very well. Whatever you do, use a starchy potato (not a red potato - too waxy) or the cooking times will be off. If you want to use yucca root or some other type of vegetable, it would be best to parboil it first, or it'll take forever to cook. I buy my duck fat from Wegman's; it's the D'artagnan brand. The containers for the fat and the stock look almost identical, so make sure you're getting the right thing. Not that I've done that, of course. Ahem.

I make my glazes in non-stick skillets, which effectively revokes my dirty hippie card. My desire to have a pan that doesn't wind up irrevocably coated in vinegar candy trumps. Always. The glaze is done when it starts to look foamy/really bubbly. Keep an eye on it or it could completely boil away and burn into candy. You could probably use honey or maple syrup to replace the coconut sugar. I'm really not sure.

This slightly modified recipe takes its roots and ideas from a variety of Eastern European classics.

An easy breakfast that is sure to impress.

Either ground lamb or beef works well in this stir-fry, where the combination of vegetables, ginger, and coconut aminos really bring out the Asian-inspired flavors.

We love this dish because it makes for such a fun breakfast entrée. Serve it at your next brunch gathering, and allow your guests to be surprised when they discover the eggs “hidden” inside.

Artichokes may just be one of our favorite vegetables, and we love the combination of artichokes, garlic, and fresh basil in this “spaghetti and meatballs” dish.

One of our favorite spice blends is adobo, which is a beautifully balanced mix of garlic, onion, bay leaf, oregano, and pepper. We love using it to season meatballs (even in soup). We think you'll find it to be a nice addition to the classic spaghetti and meatballs.

Baked Chicken Thighs has been our go-to meal for as long as we can remember. Adding a little homemade mayo, avocado, and tomato; then combining all the components into a lettuce wrap makes this a healthy, refreshing lunch option.

Fresh, homemade basil pesto adds a whole new dimension of flavor to any dish. We made our version dairy-free by omitting the Parmesan, but you’ll never notice the difference!

Tagines are earthen-made cookware used in the cuisines of Northern Africa, Morocco, and Cypress. The special, conical lid to the vessel helps to return steam condensation back into the dish - keeping meat juicy and infusing extra flavor. This exotic method of slow cooking brings panache to your crock pot recipes!

Paella is widely regarded as a Spanish dish, though it is truly a regional dish to Valencia. This particular version is called "Paella Mixta," (literally meaning "mixture) which has a combination of chicken and shrimp. Enjoy this exotic dish to spice up any weeknight meal!
