Pad See Ew is a Thai dish featuring wide, flat rice noodles in a light brown sauce with broccolini, carrots, and a scrambled egg. It’s sort of like Chinese fried rice, but with noodles. I use a vegetable peeler to make very thin ribbon noodles from carrots and then sauté them with the other ingredients until they are soft and flavorful.

Lemon bars are the perfect ending to a spring brunch, and they’re even easy enough for the kids to make as a special Mother’s Day treat. These bars have a nut-free shortbread crust and a tart lemon filling. In place of the powdered sugar that is usually sprinkled on top to balance the sour lemon, I like to top mine with finely shredded unsweetened coconut or fresh berries for a bit of sweetness.

Dairy-free yogurts are readily available at most grocery stores, but they often contain unwelcome additives. Using a dehydrator or yogurt machine is a simple way to make coconut milk yogurt at home with ease and totally control what goes into it. We love ours with fresh berries and granola (page 58). You can use this as a base for anything that calls for yogurt, whether frozen yogurt or savory dips.

This velvety coconut-lime cauli-rice is spectacular with tropical dishes like Macadamia-Coconut Crusted Ono with Mango Coulis (page 152) or as the base of a burrito bowl.

Shaving Brussels sprouts makes them tender and lends a great texture to a dish. I like to combine them with bacon, leeks, and pomegranate seeds for a savory side dish that surprises with its pop of tang.

Besides greatly cutting down on dairy, one of the biggest modifications I made when switching from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to a more Paleo-style diet was eliminating all legumes. Even when soaked and cooked properly, beans always did a number on my digestion. So this chili is made the classic way—all meat, no fillers. I prefer to make chili with dried spices from my pantry, so I can make it practically whenever I want to.

I rate a Thai restaurant based on its tom kha gai. If it doesn’t meet my expectations, I know it’s not worth ordering anything else on the menu. This soup is my favorite way to start out a Thai meal, but it can also serve as a substantial and soul-warming lunch. A traditional soup in Thai cuisine, this dish combines the flavors of coconut, lime, lemongrass, and ginger, and moderate heat from Thai chilies. If you can’t find the ingredients fresh in your grocery store or local Asian market, they can all be conveniently found dried in jars lining the Asian food aisles at most supermarkets.

Jicama may seem like a strange ingredient to add to this dish, but it provides a slight crunch similar to that of water chestnuts or bamboo shoots and adds a mildly sweet flavor. Serve this stew over any of the cauliflower rice recipes (pages 218–219).

The meatballs you are probably used to having on game days contain bread crumbs and include white sugar or high-fructose corn syrup in the sauce. This grain-free version uses almond meal or coconut flour to bind the meatballs and natural sweeteners to flavor the sauce. Keep the meatballs warm in a slow cooker throughout the day so your guests can enjoy them until the game ends.

Iceberg lettuce surely doesn’t provide a lot of nutrients, and this may be the simplest of salads, but a crisp wedge with creamy dressing, crispy bacon, and lots of vegetables is Ryan’s favorite steak-house salad. Blue cheese dressing typically accompanies this classic dish, but it contains dairy and often wheat from the cheese, so I use my dairy-free herb ranch dressing here. See my note below about how to transform this dressing into a creamy blue cheese version, if you are not keeping dairy-free.

These crispy and spicy Buffalo wings are free from heavy batters and breading and are delicious when dipped in a cool ranch dressing. Most traditional wings are served with blue cheese dressing, but for a dairy-free option, this dressing really satisfies the need for a cool, tangy dip. If you also plan to make the Cauliflower Buffalo Bites (page 54), double the dressing recipe so you can serve it alongside both dishes.

Whole roasted chickens may seem daunting at first, but they are simple to prepare and provide an elegant dinner. I suggest roasting two chickens on a Sunday so you have the additional chicken to use throughout the week when you are shorter on time. Serve one chicken for dinner, then use the leftover chicken in any of the “stretch it” recipes.
