How to Make Puerto Rican Pasteles (paleo, AIP option)

I am excited to introduce you to a wonderful naturally paleo dish from Puerto Rico called "pasteles". Pasteles are similar to tamales, but the dough is made from gluten-free and grain-free tropical fruit, root, and vegetable starches. Pasteles are a traditional holiday food in Puerto Rico, with many families making them while everyone is together. Having extra hands does make the process go a lot faster! I hope you enjoy the recipe, and don't forget to watch the videos I made to accompany it -- they are critical for your success in making these!

Refreshing Kohlrabi and Japanese Turnip Salad (autoimmune paleo)

This quick and easy salad features two types of turnips: kohlrabi (aka German turnip) and the Japanese turnip. They form the base for an earthy, pungent, refreshing salad that can be made from ingredients that you'll find at your Fall and Winter farmer's markets. It is dressed with a simple Asian-inspired dressing that is autoimmune paleo compliant. This salad is a great way to add some variety in the types of vegetables that you consume!

Bacon Garlic Short-Rib Loaded Sweet Potatoes (autoimmune paleo)

Rachel from Grok Grub stopped by to share an AMAZING recipe with us today: bacon garlic short-rib loaded sweet potatoes. Yeah, you read that right! The best part is that you use your slow cooker for the meat, which makes this a great meal to make when you are pressed for time! It features satisfying healthy fats and nourishing bone broth and is a recipe that I expect to become a staple in my own kitchen. Enjoy!!

BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza (autoimmune paleo)

One night, while eating BBQ chicken thighs and AIP flatbread, it struck me that I should combine the two and make an AIP version of BBQ chicken pizza on a flatbread crust. I owe many thanks to Russ at The Domestic Man for the inspiration; I started with his flatbread recipe and modified it to end up with what is a fantastic pizza crust for both the AIP diner or anyone else who is simply following a grain-free diet. Since I have this obsession with cooking with gelatin, I've used it in this recipe and the resulting crust is both pleasantly crunchy and chewy at the same time. You will really enjoy this recipe!

Paleo Reina Pepiada (Venezuelan chicken avocado salad)

Reina pepiada is one of the best recipes to ever come out of Venezuela. Here, I'll teach you how to make an egg-free, nightshade-free version suitable for the autoimmune paleo protocol. If you want a more authentic version, there's instructions for that, too! Goes great on top of tostones.

Cauliflower is a wonderful and versatile vegetable, but I was left disappointed when I tried using it as the mashed topping for shepherd's pie. This recipe utilizes tropical starchy roots as the mashed potato replacement in a nourishing, nightshade- and dairy-free version of the classic dish.
