Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
The weather is starting to really get cold which means it is time to start breaking out the sweaters and ladling out bowls of delicious chili. Paleo chicken chili is hearty and full of flavor. It is the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold, winter day. It makes a bunch too so you can look forward to leftovers!

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.

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.

Happy Paleo Monday! Did you survive the weekend? As I mentioned in Friday’s party post, we held birthday parties for both of my kids over the weekend so I am exhausted. It is days like that make me so glad that I meal plan. Oh, and makes me thankful for recipes like paleo pork pineapple stir fry.

Are you tired of my peach obsession yet? Between pizza, soup and a crescent ring, I can see how it might be starting to get a tad old. BUT, I have the most amazing recipe that is going to make you grab your phone to schedule an end of summer party just so you can make these peach prosciutto bites to serve it at. Seriously, they are THAT good.

Whether you are following a paleo diet, trying Whole30 or just want a way to use up garden zucchini, these paleo chicken zucchini fritters are absolutely perfect! Just be sure you don’t forget the super yummy sauce too!
…
Let’s talk zoodles…you know, noodles made out of zucchini. I got a spiralizer back when I started Whole30 and I fell in love. Zoodles are a great noodle replacement and, with such a mild flavor, you can put them into just about anything. My favorite right now is making Thai zucchini noodle salad to replace the yummy sesame noodles I typically get.
