Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
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!

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.

Happy Paleo Monday! I know we took a little bit of time off from our traditional Paleo recipe on Monday thing but I’m back with a new one and you are going to love it. Cauliflower enchilada casserole is my Paleo solution to my husbands favorite enchilada casserole. I even made a primal version for him so he could have cheese on top 🙂

Mondays during the summertime are always a little tougher. We spend a ton of time outdoors enjoying the pool or just hanging with friends so it is always a little harder to get back into the grind of the office. Of course, it doesn’t help when I also have wine slushies around the house either. So, in addition to resetting myself back into work mode, I also try to reset my body back in better eating mode. In our house, we do paleo meals Monday through Friday and then allow ourselves to indulge on the weekends. To me, it really is the best of both worlds. I don’t have to give up my cocktails and nachos, but I still give my body really good, real food for most of the week. This week, chipotle chicken with avocado salsa is on my menu.
