Did you know that the Holiday Spice Cake from 'Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind' is nut-free?! I just got a new kugelhopf bundt pan and I'm dying to make this cake in it!

Author of Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind, Vanessa Barajas, was a major inspiration in my decision to go Paleo. Her Instagram basically gives me life. The recipes remind me that there is, indeed, life beyond brownies and bread.

Cait’s Plate is not a Paleo account but Cait posts beautiful photos of very healthy meals, that are sure to entice! I wish I could make a smoothie bowl that looks half as good as hers.

Thinking about what to make today or this week? How about this rainbow superfood salad we had for lunch yesterday? I made it based on the "spring superfood salad" recipe from my blog (link in profile). It is one of my favorite cleansing salads! But this time, I made it with quinoa, broccoli, avocado, watermelon radish, mixed salad leaves, blueberry, beet sprout, pumpkin and sesame seeds. The dressing is lemon juice and olive oil. 🌈 Rock your week, everyone! 👊 #detox #vegan #glutenfree

Hello! It's @meljoulwan with recipe to help answer the timeless question: tacos or nachos?! This recipe combines the best of tacos and nachos while ditching the soy, sugar, and grains hidden in most commercial taco seasonings. It’s impossible to argue and stuff plantains into your mouth at the same time, so let’s just declare a peace treaty between tacos and nachos. PLANTAIN NACHOS FROM WELL FED 2 Serves 2-4 | Prep 20 minutes | Cook 30 minutes PLANTAINS: 2 green plantains (they MUST be GREEN) 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted TACO MEAT: 2 teaspoons coconut oil 1/2 medium onion, minced (about 1/2 cup) 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon) 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 pound ground beef 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1/2 cup Whole30 compliant chicken broth (or water) 2 teaspoons cider vinegar GARNISH: minced scallions, jalapeño slices, diced avocado, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, fresh lime juice DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350F. Cover two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Peel the plantains and use a mandoline slicer on its thinnest setting to make plantain coins. Toss the slices and the coconut oil in a large bowl. Use four coins to make each "tortilla:” Lay them flat on baking sheet with edges slightly overlapping; sprinkle with salt. Bake 25-30 minutes until crisp & starting to brown. Meanwhile… Heat coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium, 2 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft, 7-10 minutes. Mix the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, cayenne, and salt, then add to onions. Crumble the ground beef into pan and cook, breaking up clumps, about 5 minutes. Push meat to the side & drop in tomato paste; fry 3 minutes. Add broth and vinegar; stir. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes. Pile meat on top of plantain chips & top with garnishes. #whole30 #whole30recipes #wellfed #wellfed2 For more Whole30 recipes, find me on Instagram/Twitter at @meljoulwan & www.meljoulwan.com… or my Whole30 approved cookbooks Well Fed & Well Fed 2 (http://amzn.to/1mb5ZSp).

The Whole30 program is a diet that asks you to cut sugar, grains, dairy and legumes and other “gut-disrupting” foods from your life for 30 days. Because this program is so similar to the Paleo diet, this is a great place to go for recipes and tips.

I love Whole Foods. I know they’re overpriced, but I love it anyway. According to their IG bio, they hope to “inspire excitement around eating healthy,” and I confidently can say their photos do just that!

Tired of all the chocolate options out there for Lover's Day? I know, me neither, BUT how about a new way to spread the love by making a Valentine's #dairyfree yogurt bark. I mean, did you see the strawberries??! Nothing screams love more than meticulously cutting fruit into X's and O's.

Cara’s story is an amazing one. She grew up eating processed foods but found out in adulthood that two of her top allergens were gluten and dairy. She had to change everything she knew about cooking. Check out her IG posts and her blog.
