One of many tasty recipes inside: Crustless Spinach Quiche
Serves 4 / Prep time: 10 minutes / Cook time: 30 minutes
Dairy-Free, Meatless
This spinach quiche makes a great addition to a weekend morning brunch with a side of your favorite fruit salad. Leftovers reheat well and are a good option for a portable lunch. I also like to make this recipe with broccoli. Just substitute 2 cups chopped steamed broccoli florets for the spinach.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a round casserole dish with coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, onion, coconut flour, garlic, baking powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Stir in the spinach. Transfer the egg mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges have browned and the egg is cooked through.
Cooking Tip: This recipe calls for a round casserole dish. A 9-inch glass pie dish can be used, if needed. To gauge doneness, look at the top of the quiche. If it still looks wet and is jiggly, it is not ready. When the quiche is no longer wet on top, slide a knife into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, it is cooked through.

My hubby and I eat a “mostly-Paleo” diet and have done for years. I’m always interested in new recipes and ideas. The reason I was disappointed by this cookbook right away is that there are too many recipes that are faux this and that, especially in the noodle department. In our household, we don’t try to find substitutes for food we used to eat. We’ve both discovered that, for instance, a thick pasta sauce is perfectly fine without pasta and doesn’t need to go on top of anything to be a satisfying dish to eat. Further, for me, I find that eating substitute foods isn’t helpful; it’s been easier for me to cut the very concept of noodles out of my diet. But that’s me.
I’ve perused the book and honestly don’t see any recipes that look particularly special that I’d like to try. A good amount of these recipes use the same ingredients in different amounts. It’s also not very inspiring to look at; One photo at the beginning of each chapter.
I can’t say this book is bad. If you like fairly simple recipes and are new to paleo, it may be right for you, but compared to, say, “Nom Nom Paleo,” this book is a yawn-fest. I hate giving not-good reviews when people put time and effort into creating something, but I can’t recommend it with any enthusiasm.
Until now, I have not seen this concept extended to Paleo. I have been on some type of lower carb lifestyle for 20 years. It's the best way for me to get weight off and keep it off, and it doesn't involve as much sacrifice as most other diets (none of which work for me anyway, by the way). So being able to stick to my diet with some simple recipes like this is great for me. Most, if not all, require 15 minutes or less to prep. I'll confess that I haven't tried any skillet meals yet. Part of what I like about one-pot meals is being able to prep them quickly, then stick them in the oven or cook them in a slow cooker, unattended. And this book has plenty of those.
If you are an advanced cook, and/or really enjoy being a chef, this book is probably a bit elementary for you. However, if, like me, cooking is a means to an end, I think you will find a lot to like.
I like some of the fresh ideas in this book, like using bacon in butternut squash soup. The pork with ginger maple sauce recipe is quite tasty. Ruttan really specializes in meals that go together quickly, which is very welcome in our busy world. I’m not a Paleo diner by choice, but as someone with celiac and dairy sensitivities, I’ve recently realized that “Paleo” can be shorthand for “grain-free”, “dairy-free”. It’s a real treat to open a cookbook and find that I don’t need to make substitutions for the grains and dairy that I can’t eat. Well, almost—this book relies heavily on ghee as a fat, which seems to merit special approved status on the Paleo list. So wherever I find ghee in these recipes, I translate that to mean olive oil, and then I’m OK.
Since I’m not part of the Paleo mindset, I’m a bit puzzled by the food choices in the approved versus avoid lists included in this book. All sorts of vegetables make the approved list, including Brussels sprouts and zucchini squash, both of which were developed within the last 1500 years, so they’re hardly caveman food. And then fruits and nuts like blueberries, raspberries, and hazelnuts are to be eaten in moderation, even though you can collect them unimproved from the wild today just like hunter-gatherers. And all legumes are forbidden except green beans, which Ruttan claims are permitted because they are so nutritious, but actually, they contain the least nutrients of any of the legumes since we eat the pods before their seeds develop. Taking a step back, I realize that the approved and avoid lists that Ruttan presents in this book are mainly arranged to avoid carbs and sugars, especially simple sugars and high calorie ingredients like grains. So the Paleo-flavor of this book seems to be for dieters rather than caveman-lifestyle purists. With that in mind, it’s easier to understand why Ruttan suggests buying pre-washed pre-chopped vegetables (to save time) and Honeycrisp apples (first released in 1991). She’s aiming for healthy, tasty meals that go together fast and will help you lose or maintain, not gain weight. Overall, this book has some interesting grain-free, mostly dairy-free meals that go together in a hurry.
