Ok the meats are easy... does anyone have any really creative veggie recipes?

I made zuchini noodles and marinara sauce and meatballs the other night. I was totally impressed it was awesomely delicious.

I also have been experimenting making caulifower into a rice substitute and that was really good too.
 
For veggies we eat a lot of sweet potatoes. Basically we just mix garlic, onion, enter veggie here and cook it all in better with a bit of seasoning and salt. That ends up being most of our sides.

There's also bacon wrapped asparagus that's good. When it's grilling season (not year round here in Wisconsin) just about any veggie is great on the grill.
 
I read Sweet potatoes aren't technically paleo and if so to eat them sparingly. Salt pepper garlic gets boring.. lol.

I'm gonna make some butternut squash soup with home made chicken stock Friday.

Does anyone have any good soup recipes? Soups make great creative side dishes.

Yeah we have been primal for almost a year now so we have added things like potatoes back in.

Here's another soup recipe I have tried. It came out really good

Artichoke Soup

A friend of mine saves bacon grease and uses it to cook veggies. It's great with brussel sprouts.

Kale chips are also yummy

Do you like duck at all? I love to roast a duck on the weekend. It's so tasty
 
I haven't tried duck or lamb or bison so I need to start trying to prepare more interesting meats!

And yes we save bacon grease and are using it for seasoning veggies. Mmmmmmm.

Nanci I am totally making that casserole! Looks delishn
 
If you like mushrooms, we use to get some white mushrooms and cook them in a sauce pan with rosemary and basil. Very tasty
 
If you have a Whole Foods by you, they have bison. I love it, especially a roast.

And I've eaten lamb my whole life. LOVE it, in all forms!
 
I made that chicken and spaghetti squash casserole and it was pretty good but I think I could definitely make it better.

I'm going to bake these tonight.
