Craving for some comfort food yet you don’t want to count calories?
Amidst all the cookie baking, shopping, and other activities, I hope you find a moment to enjoy some of these recipes with your loved ones, or just treat yourself! Many of these recipes are perfect for preparing in advance and/or are Whole30 compliant – I’ve included such details below. Which recipe will you try out first?
Here are some paleo comfort food recipes perfect for a cold day.
18. Paleo Sweet Potato Buffalo Chicken Casserole
This classic comfort dish receives a nutritious makeover. In place of traditional potatoes, sweet potatoes are utilized, and the rich buffalo chicken filling is created using milk and hot sauce. For the finishing touch, the casserole is generously topped with bacon and cheese.
The dish offers a remarkable harmony of tastes. The sweet potatoes bring a comforting element, while the spicy buffalo chicken filling adds an exciting kick.
17. Paleo Swedish Meatballs
These paleo Swedish meatballs are as delightful as the traditional version but are free from gluten and lactose. They pair wonderfully with zoodles, cauliflower rice, or mashed potatoes.
I’m thrilled about today’s post because I get to share one of my cherished recipes from my cookbook, “Paleo Planet.” Additionally, I’m collaborating with ButcherBox to offer an exciting deal on premium grass-fed meat. If you sign up for ButcherBox now through Friday, you’ll receive two pounds of grass-fed ground beef for free, along with $10 off your box.
Long-time readers of my blog might recall my previous mentions of ButcherBox. You can find all my posts featuring their products here. ButcherBox is a subscription service delivering top-quality grass-fed beef, heritage pork, and organic chicken directly to your home. The meat arrives frozen in individual portions, making it easy to thaw. I’ve been thoroughly impressed with every recipe I’ve made using their meat!
This service is ideal if you struggle to find high-quality meat at your local supermarket or prefer not to shop frequently. They also provide recipe cards with details about each cut and suggestions on how to cook them. Each monthly box includes a variety of cuts, always featuring some of their staple grass-fed ground beef, a constant in my kitchen.
16. Paleo Breakfast Casserole with Bacon, Sausage, Sweet Potato, & Kale
This paleo breakfast casserole brims with such a variety of tasty ingredients that its dairy-free and Whole30 compliance will go unnoticed. It’s perfect for preparing in advance and reheating during hectic mornings!
Whenever I experiment with a recipe, I anticipate it turning out wonderfully. Sure, sometimes things go awry, but the expectation of deliciousness is what drives me to cook in the first place. Yet, occasionally, I set certain expectations like, “These cookies will be good, considering they’re sugar-free,” or in this case, “This will be a fantastic dairy-free, paleo breakfast casserole.”
As you might have surmised, this recipe exceeded those expectations (after all, I only share the best on the blog!). This paleo breakfast casserole is so delicious, its dairy-free nature will likely go unnoticed.
This dish is quick to prepare, rich in flavors and textures, and reheats beautifully, allowing you to prep ahead for easy breakfasts. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor, but if you’re not avoiding dairy, you could opt for freshly grated sharp cheese like pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano instead.
I highly recommend giving this delightful paleo breakfast casserole a try!
