California Orange Tarragon Salad
by Dr. Kellyann
on Aug 07 2023
* Paleo & Primal Approved This is one of my all-time favorite salads because it’s not only wildly delicious, but also incredibly refreshing. With oranges and avocados growing throughout Southern California, this salad reminds me of one of my favorite places. I particularly like to make this when really sweet oranges like Cara Cara’s or Red Navels are in season. If your oranges seem a little tart, add a teaspoon of honey to the dressing.
Prep time: 10 min • Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
1 head Romaine or Bibb lettuce (about 4 cups), washed and cut or torn
1 cup arugula
½ large English cucumber or 2 - 3 Persian cucumbers (mini), sliced into rounds
3 oranges, cut into rounds
1 avocado, sliced
3 scallions, cut into ½-inch diagonal slices
½ cup sugar snap peas or snow peas, strings removed
¼ cup jicama, cut into matchstick slices
½ cup roasted cashews or pistachios
Orange Tarragon Dressing
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon orange zest
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, about 1 large orange
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, diced or 1 teaspoons dried
Dash nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Toss all salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
To make dressing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. It’s especially good if made ahead so the flavors can meld.
Notes: This also makes a fabulous entrée salad; optionally add chicken or fish.

Slow Cooker Pork and Sauerkraut
by Dr. Kellyann
on Aug 07 2023
Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 8– 10 hr • Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and blotted dry
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ tablespoon coconut oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
Three 14.5-ounce cans sauerkraut
Directions
Cut the pork shoulder into 3- to 4-inch chunks and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add coconut oil.
When oil is melted, add the pork, browning on all sides. You’ll probably need to cook the pork in two batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan. Transfer pork to the slow cooker.
In the same pan, cook the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker. Add the bay leaf.
Place the sauerkraut in a colander and rinse with cold water. Squeeze out excess moisture and pile the sauerkraut on top of the pork. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the pork is fork tender, about 8 to 10 hours.
Notes You can use sauerkraut from a can or bag; just check the ingredient label for non-Paleo ingredients. Serve with unsweetened applesauce and Mashed Cauliflower.

Broth Loading Chilled Cucumber Soup
by Dr. Kellyann
on Jul 11 2023
I’m obsessed with cucumbers. Because they contribute to good health and keep you slim. Plus, they work miracles when it comes to your skin. What more could you ask for?!
Cucumbers are excellent for hydration...
When it comes to your skin, dehydration causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear. Plus, your skin becomes dull, feels dry and tight, and is easily irritated. Ugh! This is why I always stress the importance of hydration. And because cucumbers are made up of approximately 95% water, eating them is a delicious way to keep your cells hydrated and your skin plump and juicy. Especially during warm summer months.
Cucumbers are packed with antioxidants...
Antioxidants are necessary to protect your cells from free radicals. Some antioxidants can also repair cellular damage, prevent free radicals from being formed from certain toxins, and even prevent cancerous cells from growing. Essentially, antioxidants are the key to optimal health as well as slowing down the aging process–inside and out. And the antioxidants in cucumbers specifically have been linked to reducing inflammation, preventing cancer, and improving heart health. Yes, please!
Cucumbers are anti-bloating...
Cucumbers can help rid your belly of bloating. Thanks to a synergistic combination of caffeic acid, vitamin C, silica, and water. Cucumbers contain a variety of other vitamins and minerals that also promote optimal health and beautiful skin. Some of the them include:
Vitamin K: essential for forming blood clots as well as strong bones
Pantothenic acid: a B-vitamin involved in producing energy as well as burning fat
Biotin: a B-vitamin that helps produce natural oils in your skin to keep it soft and moist
Potassium: an electrolyte that regulates blood pressure and maintains good kidney function
Magnesium: a mineral necessary for over 300 vital functions in the body as well as youthful skin
Silica: a mineral that helps build strong teeth, bones, nails, and hair --- With all the benefits of cucumbers you'll want to look for more way to add them to your diet, and a chilled cucumber soup with collagen-rich bone broth is the perfect way recipe for summertime!
Broth Loading Chilled Cucumber Soup
Prep Time: 15 Min – Cook Time: 12 Min- Yield: 4-6 servings
1 cup water
4 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and sliced
1/2 cup yellow onion
1 teaspoon Celtic or Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups ( 1 quart) Chicken Bone Broth
1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder, blended with one teaspoon of water
1 small bay leaf
1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk, not vanilla flavored
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon minced fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cucumbers, onion, salt and pepper, and cover. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are very soft. Puree using a food processor, blender or immersion blender until smooth. Bring bone broth to a simmer and add the arrowroot powder, bay leaf, and pureed cucumbers. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring until soup thickens. Cool soup to room temperature and add the almond milk and fresh herbs. Refrigerate. Serve the soup very cold.
NOTE: Use caution when pureeing soup in a blender or food processor. Work in small batches and cover the top of the sealed blender or processor with a kitchen towel to avoid getting burned.
Enjoy!

on Jul 06 2023
Prep time: 30 min • Cook time: 10 min • Yield: 2 top 3 entrée servings
Equipment:
BBQ grill or a grill pan
Ingredients:
To Grill:
1 pound large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon coconut oil melted or coconut oil spray
½ fresh pineapple, skin cut off and top removed
2 jalapeño peppers, sliced into rounds and deseeded
Dressing/ Marinade:
½ cup macadamia nut oil (favored over olive oil because it is virtually tasteless; but you can use olive oil)
2 limes juiced, approximately ⅓ cup
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 to 2 dashes cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
To serve:
6 to 9 Butter lettuce or Boston lettuce leaves
2 Persian cucumbers or ⅓ English cucumber, sliced very thin
1 ½ cups jicama, about half of a medium-large jicama, sliced paper thin on a mandolin or cut into match sticks
1 avocado, peeled and sliced into 8 to 12 slices.
Directions:
Prepare charcoal until the coals are white and ashy or preheat propane/gas grill to medium. (Wait to heat grille pan until just before cooking if you are not grilling outside.)
Place the half pineapple face down on the cutting board and cut in half the long way. Cut out the hard core. Cut each section into 3 slices, the long way. (They are easier to grill in strips.) Set aside.
Combine all salad dressing/marinade ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to blend, or put all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. Taste to adjust spice. Set aside.
Brush or spray shrimp, pineapple slices, and jalapeno rings with coconut oil. Shrimp will cook very quickly in 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on their size. Pineapple and jalapenos will cook in 2 to 3 minutes per side. It’s easiest to cook jalapenos in a mesh pan made or grilling or on foil.
As soon as you remove shrimp from the grill, place them in a shallow container and drizzle about half the dressing over the shrimp. (You are marinating the shrimp after they are cooked.)
Cut the pineapple slices into 4 or 5 square pieces per strip.
Place lettuce leaves on plate, top with cucumber, jicama, pineapple, shrimp, avocado, and jalapenos. Serve remaining dressing on the side. Optionally, garnish with cilantro.
Notes:
Grilling the pineapple begins to caramelize the fruit sugar and enhance its flavor. The reason we marinate the shrimp after cooking is because macadamia nut oil (and olive oil) are not good for cooking at higher temperatures, but taste much better than coconut oil in a dressing/marinade.
These shrimp are so delicious you could also prepare them to serve as appetizers/ hors d’oeuvre, as shrimp cocktail with a slice of lime, or as a stand-alone entrée. (But consider keeping the grilled pineapple and jalapeños even if you don’t do the lettuce cups. The flavors are fabulous together...a little sweet and a little hot!)

Prep time: 15 min • Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
⅔ cup Homemade Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons grated red onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
½ tablespoon honey (optional)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 head green cabbage, very thinly sliced
3 large carrots, shredded
½ cup loosely packed parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Homemade Mayonnaise, red onion, lemon juice, vinegar, honey (if desired), salt, and pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, carrots, and parsley with two wooden spoons. Add the dressing and toss vigorously for 2 minutes to ensure that the vegetables are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Note
To cut the cabbage, slice in half through the stem end. Remove and discard the tough inner core, and then thinly slice the cabbage into long, thin shreds.
Vary It!
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of caraway seeds for a traditional German touch, or make it a little sweeter by adding 1 cup shredded canned pineapple (unsweetened, packed in its own juice) or ⅓ cup raisins. You can also replace the whole head of green cabbage with half a head of green and half a head of red for colorful variety.
Tip
This recipe is easy to double for a potluck or cut in half for a dinner-for-two serving. This slaw tastes better the second day, so make it in advance if time permits.

For anyone looking to boost the health of their gut, it’s best to limit dairy for at least 21 days, sadly that includes cheese, especially processed cheeses. However, in honor of National Cheese Day, I put together a better-for-your-gut cheese board that contains probiotics and fiber. Typically, probiotics are in cheeses that have been aged but not heated afterward. This includes both soft and hard cheeses, including Swiss, provolone, Gouda, cheddar, Edam, Gruyere, and cottage cheese.
Pick 3 cheeses:
Swiss
Provolone
Gouda
Cheddar
Edam
Gruyere
Add some crunch:
Grain-Free Crackers
Almonds
Walnuts
Cucumbers
Berries
Chia Seed Jam
Honey
A little savory:
Olives
Refrigerated Pickles
Cheesy Tip: Hard cheeses, such as Swiss, tend to be easier to digest

How Can Bone Broth Support Wellness?
Bone broth is trending among health enthusiasts due to itsincredible benefits.
It’s rich in nutrients such as gelatin and collagen, which can help maintain skin, hair, and nail health. Along with calcium and amino acids, such as glycine, these components make bone broth a great way to supplement your body with nutrients that can support overall wellness.

Where Can You Get Bones for Bone Broth?
There are several places where you can find good soup bones. One option is to use a whole chicken and remove the meat, then use the leftover carcass for the broth. You can also check out your local butcher or whole foods store for leftover beef bones or chicken feet.
When making bone broth, it's essential to use high-quality ingredients, such as organic veggies and seasonings. You can use a stockpot on the stovetop to cook your bone broth or throw the bones into a slow cooker or pressure cooker for added convenience.
If you're too busy to make your own, you can simply useDr. Kellyann's Bone Broth to get the benefits of bone broth in a convenient powdered format.

If you're comfortable making bone broth now and want to try something a little different why not try duck bone broth. It has a richer flavor than chicken bone broth and works great in all kinds of soups.
Prep: 15 min • Cook: 4 to 6 hrs • Total Time: 6-8 hrs • Yield: varies depending on pot size; these ingredients are sufficient for 2 to 3 quarts broth
Ingredients:
2 duck carcasses
6 to 8 chicken feet or 1 pig's foot (optional)
Enough purified cold water to just cover the bones in the pot; the pot should be big enough to add 2 to 3 quarts of water
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 to 4 large carrots, scrubbed and roughly chopped
3 to 4 stalks of organic celery, including the leafy part, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
Small bunch of fresh herbs such as parsley, sprigs of thyme and rosemary, bay leaf, and marjoram
Put duck carcasses into a roasting pan and place in a preheated 400º oven. Roast duck for one hour until the bones are well browned. This step isn't necessary, but it greatly enhances the flavor of duck bone broth.
Place all the bones in a slow cooker or large stockpot. Add the vinegar and enough purified water to cover everything by 1 inch. Cover the pot.
On medium heat, bring the water to a simmer. Use a shallow, wooden spoon to carefully skim the film off the top of the broth. If you are cooking in a crock pot, you will have to wait until the water gets warm before skimming, but you can continue with the next step.
Add all the remaining ingredients and reduce the heat to low. You want the broth to barely simmer. Skim occasionally over the first 2 hours, and be sure the bones stay beneath the water. You may have to add water during the cooking process.
Cook for at least 4 hours or up to 6. Turn off the cooker or remove the pot from the heat.
Using tongs or a large, slotted spoon, remove all the bones. Pour the broth through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
Let cool on the counter before refrigerating. You can skim off the fat easily after the broth is chilled. If you do skim off the fat, retain it for roasting vegetables.
When chilled, the broth should be very gelatinous. The broth will keep for five days in the refrigerator and three or more months in your freezer.
Notes: You use chicken feet or a pig's foot for the cartilage, which is necessary for good broth and the health benefits of gelatin, collagen, and calcium. Neither chicken nor pig's feet will impart flavor to the broth. If you use chicken feet, you must remove the outer yellow skin if the butcher has not already done so.
To do this, immerse them in boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds, and they will peel easily. If you cook them any longer, peeling them is nearly impossible because they become rubbery. It's also easier to peel them before they are frozen. You can cut off the claws if you choose.
If your crock pot is small (2 quarts or less), you can cut back on the quantities in the recipe.
Measurements need not be specific in making broth. However, you'll have less work to do if you use a large kettle or stockpot on the stovetop. Since you might use the broth in various recipes, I prefer not to salt it while cooking.
Enjoy!

Roasting the duck beforehand in duck fat and veggies like carrots, onions, and fresh thyme can add an extra layer of flavor to your broth.
If you're short on time or just want a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of bone broth, Dr. Kellyann's Bone Broth Liquids and Powdered Bone Broths are a delicious and hassle-free solution.

What Kind of Tomatoes Should You Use?
There are a few options when making homemade soup with fresh tomatoes. Whole tomatoes, roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, or even tomato paste can all work well as a base. To add more flavor to your tomato base, use garlic cloves, red pepper, and yellow onion to create a delicious and nutritious puree.
To make the tomato puree, sauté the garlic, bell pepper, and onion in olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add tomatoes and cook everything down until it's thick and jammy.
You can balance out the acidity of the tomatoes with some chicken broth or chicken stock. If you prefer, vegetable stock or vegetable broth are also great options.
The great thing about making tomato puree is that you can experiment with different veggies, spices, and bone broth flavors to create unique flavor profiles. And since you can make it in batches, you'll always have some on hand to use in various recipes, including this easy tomato soup recipe.

Plus, with instructions for both air-fryer and conventional oven methods, this versatile recipe is perfect for busy mornings or leisurely weekends alike.
PREP TIME: 10 min | COOK TIME: 8-15 min | YIELD: 4 servings
Ingredients
1¼ pounds ground turkey or pork, or a combination of the two
1 medium apple, grated
½ teaspoon ground or rubbed sage
½ teaspoon fennel seed (optional)
⅛-¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Celtic or pink Himalayan salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper crushed red-pepper flakes (optional)
Avocado, coconut, or olive oil pan spray
Instructions
Place meat in a medium bowl. Use the large holes on a box grater or a food processor with the shredding disk to grate the apple. Squeeze as much juice as possible from the grated apple. Add sage, fennel seeds, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red-pepper flakes (if using) and combine all ingredients.
Wet your hands and roll into 1" balls. Try to keep them the same size so they will cook evenly. You should get 16 small meatballs, about 1½ ounces each.
AIR FRYER METHOD:
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Place half the meatballs into the basket in one layer and lightly spray with pan spray. Cook for about 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Remove and keep warm while cooking the second batch. Test for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. Turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F and pork to 160°F.
OVEN METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 400°F, center the rack in the top half of the oven, and line a baking sheet with parchment. Place the meatballs in one layer, leaving a bit of room between each meatball. Lightly spray each meatball with pan spray and bake for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Test for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. Turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F and pork to 160°F.
Notes
If you make the meatballs larger or smaller (or if you make patties) you will need to adjust the cooking time.
