With my new cookbook well under way and keeping me very busy, I’ve lined up some fellow bloggers to do guest posts for me two Saturdays a month. My autoimmune condition is heavily fueled by stress, so in an effort to stay healthy, these friends will help relieve some of the stress and keep recipes still coming your way! I'm continuously amazed with the plethora of a health problems a Paleo diet can help combat. When I first started eating this way, I thought it was only good for people with digestive diseases. Then I learned about the brain/gut connection and how a grain-free diet could help autistic children. Then I continued to get emails from my site of people reversing their children's diabetes, their own autoimmune disease, or muscle pains that had plagued them for years.
Today we have Russ from The Domestic Man. I first stumbled across Russ's site last year after seeing some delicious looking BBQ recipes that were accompanied by great photos. I dug more into his site and was blown away his story. After suffering a stroke at the age of 24, Russ was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Takayasu’s Arteritis. He underwent a drastic and very dangerous surgery through his chest but still was experiencing symptoms. He spent a year on heavy immunosuppressant therapy and steroids, leaving him unable to function in his day to day life. Through Paleo, he has regained his health and is now married with a beautiful son! It is an incredible story and I encourage you to head to his site and read more and see his photo progression of his story. He's here today to share his recipe of seared scallops with sautéed kale. Welcome Russ!
First of all, thanks to Danielle for hosting a guest post on her site! I’m excited to meet some new readers and honored to be a part of such a terrific website. I’m looking forward to her new book and I’m happy to provide a little stress relief by taking the reins today with my seared scallops wand sautéed kale recipe!
This dish uses only a few ingredients and seasonings on purpose – to hone in on the natural taste of the scallops, sausage, bacon, and kale. I also kept the portions a little small, so this dish is perfect for a light, tasty, and slightly messy lunch for four.

Eating this now, REALLY easy & REALLY fast to make, perfect for a day where I’m still getting over the flu and am not in the mood to be in the kitchen at all. It’s absolutely delicious, excited to make this again! Thanks!

This looks delicious! I will definitely be asking my wife to recreate this recipe.

This recipe looks amazing! I am curious though if anyone has tried this with turkey bacon/sausage? My BF can’t tolerate pork. Of course, I will have to try this as is anyway, it looks SO good!

My husband is away so I decided to try this dish out for me (I couldn’t handle him staring at the plate before he picks up his knife and fork). It was delicious. I live in Europe so had to make a couple of small modifications. I cut up a couple of spicy sausage and sautéed them ( we don’t have the same sort of sausage meat). I cooked ladrons of bacon and then threw the kale directly in with the bacon and fat to sauté it all together before adding the chicken broth and vinegar. The flavours were wonderful. The only disappointment was that I did not prepare my kale well enough and there was too much stem, making it quite tough. Pity…other than that it was very, very delicious.

Delicious! I followed the directions but added extra kale and collard greens and still feel like it’s too meat heavy so I will cut back the meat next time I make it. But the flavors were perfect!
