Paleo Baking’s Fresh Raspberry French Silk Pie
Fresh Raspberry French Silk Pie? When I heard the name for this recipe, I couldn’t imagine a more decadent and luxurious one, and the recipe has turned out to live up to it in spades. (In spades: being the language nerd that I am, I…
Building a Balanced Breakfast
Something I’m probably going to be talking about a lot more here is the strategy behind building a healthy meal, rather than just one-off recipes for you to piece together for a healthy diet. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still be posting recipes aplenty, but….
3 Ingredient Bacon Asparagus Frittata
Necessity is the mother of invention. When you have a bunch of beautiful, long-stemmed, slender asparagus waiting impatiently in your refrigerator to be the star or a lovely new recipe just as soon as you invent said recipe, well, there’s little time to waste. This…
One-Pan Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein (Grain-Free)
This Spaghetti Squash Chow Mein is just my latest tribute to a long-time love: the versatile, delicious, easy-going spaghetti squash. Once I tried cooking spaghetti squash in the microwave, it opened up a whole new world and I’ve never looked back. If you’re looking for…
Blueberry Baked N’Oatmeal
I made this Blueberry Baked N’Oatmeal on a Monday, and shamelessly ate it for far more meals in a row than I should have (not to mention straight from the pan!). I called it “N’Oatmeal” because it’s NOT OATMEAL. See what I did there? 😉…
Brown Butter Chocolate Pecan Bars
Here they are: BROWN BUTTER chocolate pecan bars (or BBCPB, according to my affectionate abbreviation for them). Brown butter and I are having quite the moment… I can’t get enough of creamy pastured butter from happy, healthy cows toasted to nutty perfection and finished with a dash…
Busy Baker’s Quick Apple Pie
I created this Quick Apple Pie recipe in honor of Pi Day. This year’s Pi Day was an extra-special occurrence… a once in a lifetime one, actually. March 14 (or 3/14) celebrates the mathematical constant of pi. Pi represents the ratio of circumference of a circle…
Sweet Potato Frittata
This sweet potato frittata creation rose from the ashes of a recipe failure. Several days ago I came across a gorgeous recipe series titled For the Love of Pie, in particular a beautiful entry by Mimi Thorisson. Potatoes, bacon, onions and herbs… it’s all very…
Real Talk Whole30 Survival Guide: Travel
No recipe today, dear reader. But sometimes “un-recipes” are even better. So stick around, because on a whim I decided to put together some cheeky Whole30 guides. Not just any cheeky Whole30 guides, but the survival kind. This series will address the challenges of the…
Cranberry Chicken Stuffed Squash
I have been playing a LOT with cranberries this holiday season, in many different ways, and have completely fallen in love with them as an ingredient. Such little bursts of color and flavor! This Cranberry Chicken Stuffed Squash is my favorite cranberry creation to date:…
Winter Wonderland Hot Milk Cake
I consider myself “team pie” when I think about it. . . but I never seem to bake pies. 😛 Is there a single pie on this site? I don’t think so. Cake, though. I’ve made some cakes: Pineapple Dreams Coconut Cake, Easy Chocolate Strawberry Cake,…
Duck Bacon Winter Hash
Sometimes I have a Grinch moment, and I think “healthy seasonal food in the winter is ugly, and boring, and difficult, and time-consuming to prepare.” But I know that’s not the truth. Many traditional favorites do rely on truckloads of sugar in various forms to liven them…
Fudgy Protein Mug Cake
Maybe you’ve heard of cakes that you make in a microwave? Can’t lie, the first time I saw a recipe for a mug cake I dismissed it immediately. How can you make anything with the taste and consistency of cake in just a few minutes? But I have…
Mealmade’s Spicy Cranberry Salsa
It’s 7:40pm in San Francisco, CA. It’s been dark for hours, and the wind has picked up in the South of Market district, where I’m racking my bar and weights after a CrossFit session—deadlifts tonight, plus my 20-rep back squat extra credit—and dreading 1) the solitary…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll N’Oatmeal
Fact: cereal is my favorite unhealthy temptation. Do you remember the hullabaloo last month over the news that a surprising number of drunk vegetarians eat meat? Well, if I’m going to indulge after a night of fun… it’ll be cereal. So when I saw Recipes…
Pumpkin Swirl Cashew “Cheesecake” Bites
Attention friends and pumpkin enthusiasts: few times have I been more excited to share a recipe with you than I am today. If you’re looking to make a flock of festive little treats that tip their caps to the season while pleasing touchy tummies, these…
Green Pork Sliders + My 1st CrossFit Competition
Before we get to the lusciousness that is the Green Pork Sliders, may I say that earlier this month I competed in my first CrossFit competition ever! What an utter blast. Hosted by Alameda Crossfit just across the water from San Francisco, the day dawned…
Spicy Spaghetti Squash Beef Bowl
One of the most difficult aspects of a healthy lifestyle is the cost of nutritious ingredients, and the hassle of cooking. However, there are plenty of “hacks” that help when time and funds are both nowhere to be found. One of my favorite strategies that’s an utter…
Pumpkin Seed Moringa Cupcakes + Kuli Kuli: Superfood Startup on a Mission to End Malnutrition
Welcome to Women x Wellness, a series of interviews here on Grok Grub with female entrepreneurs who are changing the wellness industry for the better, and innovating to benefit our health. Lisa Curtis– founder of Kuli Kuli, a mission-driven startup that is creating a market for the superfood moringa–sat…
One-Pan Spaghetti Squash Chicken Chorizo Skillet
To be honest, this Spaghetti Squash Chicken Chorizo Skillet is a riff on grain-free paella. But… I forgot the shrimp, so it has no rice, no seafood, and no right to be called any type of paella. But! It does have golden chunks of chicken and…
Lamb Galette with Burst Tomatoes and Figs
According to Wikipedia, a galette is a round and crusty cake. I’m more inclined to think of it as a pie that is not cooked in a pie dish, but instead, the pastry is folded up and around the filling, leaving a hole at the top….
Almond Goji Energy Bars
I made a healthy snack today. I’m constantly experimenting with things to grab and chew between the office and the gym, so consider this another recipe in the pre-workout category, although these are delicious any time, with or without a workout. I love a good…
Sun-Dried Tomato Ripe Olive Focaccia
Since going grain-free, I miss bread. But probably not in the way you’re thinking, and it’s more accurate to say that I miss bread-making: those deeply meditative, repetitive motions of kneading to sink your awareness into, the precise measuring of ingredients, exercising patience while the dough…
