Why I am so fascinated with recipes that fit both of these restrictive diets is beyond me. Perhaps, it is the challenge of combining vegan and paleo. In this case, the dual dietary compliance was more happenstance than plan. Maple Walnut Ice Cream is a staple flavor here in Rhode Island. It seemed a natural choice to convert into a paleo recipe since maple syrup is one of the few sweeteners many Paleo followers will indulge in & nuts are acceptable. Swapping the heavy cream for Continue Reading
This grilled Indonesian Chicken is marinated in a peanut curry sauce so it is bursting with flavor and mild spiciness. I whipped up a batch of Indonesian Grilled Chicken for dinner tonight. My six year old (Little Foodie) is quite fussy. It isn't that she doesn't love healthy foods, heck the bulk of her diet is raw fruits and veggies. Put a chocolate chip cookie and a thick slice of raw sweet potato on the counter, it won't be the cookie that disappears. Where her fussiness becomes an Continue Reading

This Sesame Eggplant recipe is a fun twist on baba ghanoush, but served as a vegan entree or even as an appetizer. Roasting makes the eggplant flesh soft and silky, while the sesame seeds coating the slices toast up nicely releasing their rich flavor. I wanted to do a little something different with my eggplant this time. Sesame Crusted Eggplant with Lemon and Garlic is what I came up with. I guess you could say it is sort of a cutlet form of baba ganoush, but obviously the results are Continue Reading
