Broccoli Wild Rice Casserole Broccoli Wild Rice Casserole

Haven’t made this yet but plan to for Thanksgiving. My husband loves rice dishes! And this one is with Wild Rice. I want to see how my body reacts to it compared to regular rice since Wild Rice doesn’t contain gluten and we love broccoli. We’re growing some in our organic garden this fall and winter here in Spicewood Texas.

Paleo Italian Meatballs

A quick and easy weeknight dish the whole family is sure to love! I’ve added in Spaghetti squash too in place of having pasta! It was really delicious, low in carbs and so healthy good without sacrificing any taste that’s for sure! This recipe is gluten/wheat/grain/ sugar-free. No one would even know unless you told them!

From Paleo Magazine: Readers Favorites Cookbook

For the Spaghetti squash, the secret to slicing in half is to microwave it for about 10 minutes first so it slices right through easily! Scoop out the seeds brush on a little olive oil on each piece and put face down on a baking sheet and roast on 400 for about 20. Mine was huge so it took about 20 min and it was perfect.

Paleo Zucchini Pasta with Avocado Cream Sauce

This dish is so unbelievably good!!! My husband said it’s better than any restaurant we went to on our vacay this last week in Baltimore! So healthy too because it’s absolutely grain free! And the shrimp really makes it even better!!! Double YUM! We had some salmon cakes on the side! Recipe to follow!! Triple YUM!

Quick Zucchini Pasta & Marinara Sauce

Looking for a healthier take on pasta without the grains? Personally, I’ve been grain free now for about 2 weeks and can really tell a big difference in how I’m feeling. More focused, fewer stomach issues, more energy. I just bought several Paleo magazines and a cookbook so looking forward to trying some new dishes and sharing with everyone! While some might only be familiar with gluten-free pasta on the market, it’s easy and quick to create gluten free and grain free zucchini pasta right at home and it even looks a lot like traditional spaghetti and tastes great!

For anyone who’s looking to give lower carb, paleo or a grain-free diet a try, this is definitely a must do dish! And what a great way to get the kiddos to eat more veggies disguising them as pasta! Ha!

You can also use Spaghetti squash for this dish. (Heat spaghetti squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to make it easier to slice. Brush with olive oil and lay skin side down on a cookie sheet or oven stone and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes at 350). There you have it! Szoodles!
