Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Whoa…where did that brisk fall weather come from? I blinked and we went from early October to November! I can’t believe we are so close to the holidays already. I’m keeping warm with bowls of delicious paleo chicken sausage stew. It is the perfect thing to have on a brisk, fall day.
Happy Monday! We’re back to our Paleo ways here in the Just Us Four household after having cheated just a bit with some amazing Indian food from our local place that we found out was closing! Yesterday was their last day so we definitely made sure we got some of their food and enjoyed it before it was gone for good. We’re back on track though and you HAVE to try this Paleo Pumpkin Chili.

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite paleo breakfast ideas. Whenever I am really focusing on the paleo diet (or doing a round of Whole30), I always find breakfast a bit difficult because I can really only eat so many eggs.
Plus, my breakfasts are usually on the go so I need something quick and easy. These paleo breakfast meatballs are the perfect solution!

Happy Paleo Monday! I’ve the perfect recipe for a crisp fall day for you today. One of my favorite “regular” soups is potato leek so, of course, I needed to create a paleo potato leek soup to fill the void now that the weather is cooling down. This is one you’re going to want two bowls of!

Paleo Monday is taking a slightly different focus today! I was chatting with a friend of mine who is in the middle of her family’s first try at Whole30. She said the hardest part is being prepared and making sure no one burns out by eating the same thing over and over. I can totally relate and think that is a widespread issue when people are on Whole30. So, I’ve collected 30+ Whole30 recipes that will make sure you have meals for your entire 30 days on the program.

Hey everyone! This is Jenna from Wife in Progress back again, this time with some yummy Paleo Soups.
Once September hits and the air becomes crisper, I get an instant hankering for soup. I love to enjoy a warm, creamy bowl of soup while curled up on the couch. And just because I’m eating Paleo now doesn’t mean I will forego my creamy soup fix!
I have tried most of these soup recipes and loved ALL of them. It’s amazing what some vegetables and coconut cream can do!

We are back to Paleo Monday today and I have the perfect game day appetizer or even topping for a salad for lunch of dinner. Paleo chicken spinach meatballs make great tailgating food because you can just pop them in your mouth; no utensils needed. I love them on top of my salads or spaghetti squash as part of a meal too. The best part is how easy they are to make!

School started today. I’m pretty sure all the moms in my neighbor let out a sigh of relief mixed with a twinge of stress. Sure, we get back on a regular schedule now but that schedule gets infinitely busier thanks to homework, after school activities and all the other stuff that comes along with school starting for the year. It makes the regular stuff like cooking dinner just a little bit more difficult. Thankfully, we can all embrace one pot meals like this paleo one pan Italian chicken to make dinner go a little smoother.

I’ve recently cut out all refined sugar from my diet. Once I set my mind to it (and saw the lbs start to drop off!) it was easier than I had initially thought. But, it’s summer, and I would still like to enjoy an ice cream every so often.
I’ve seen this recipe for 1 ingredient banana ice cream on Pinterest for a while now and have been dying to give it a try. I wasn’t sure that it would really taste like ice cream but BOY was I wrong! It’s also a great way to use up those over-ripe bananas…there’s only so much banana bread you can eat!
This couldn’t be easier to make: You want to use 4 or 5 over-ripe bananas (the browner they are, the sweeter the ice cream will be!).
Peel them and slice. Place the slices on a plate and freeze overnight. Then, all you have to do is blend them up in food processor/blender until thick and creamy!
Now, in the spirit of being sharing, I’m going to let you know that I froze my bananas whole with the skins still ON. Don’t do this, they are impossible to peel once they are frozen!! You could peel first, then freeze but I reckon slicing them up first would make the process a whole lot easier.
If you want to serve it right out of the blender, expect a “soft-serve” consistency. To make it a bit more solid, pop in a freezer-proof container and chill for at least 2 hours.
Who knew that pureed frozen bananas were so thick and creamy!? Honestly, if you love ice cream and bananas then you will adore this. It’s Paleo friendly, dairy free, (added) sugar free and a great guilt-free treat for both kids and adults alike. Feeling adventurous? Once you’ve mastered this version, don’t be afraid to experiment! I’m going to add almond butter to my next batch 🙂
One pot meals are my favorite. They really make it easy to get dinner done without a lot of dishes to clean up in the aftermath. On a lot of weeknights, I end up being the one to get the dishes in the dishwasher so I appreciate any little bit of help I can get. My favorite dish right now is paleo one pot chicken and kale.
