BOLOGNESE SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

* 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
* 1 lb ground veal
* 1 lb ground pork (80/20)
* 2 large celery stalks, finely chopped (about ½ cup)
* 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped (about ⅔ cup)
* ½ large sweet onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 tbsp Calabrian chili, chopped (or a pinch of red pepper flakes – optional for heat)
* 2 tbsp butter
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 cup whole milk
* 1 cup dry white wine
* 3 tbsp tomato paste
* 28 oz can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
* 17 oz tomato sauce
* 3 tsp salt, divided (plus more to taste)
* ½ tsp black pepper
* 1 tsp sugar

STEPS

1. Prep your veggies
Finely dice the carrots, celery, and onion. You want a small, uniform dice for a smooth texture in the finished sauce.
2. Sauté the soffritto
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 1 minute, then stir in 2 tbsp butter and continue cooking until vegetables are soft, about 4–5 minutes.
3. Brown the meat
Add in the ground beef, veal, and pork, and 3 tsp salt. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon into chunks, then continue to crumble as it cooks, about 2–3 minutes.
4. Add milk and simmer
Pour in 1 cup of whole milk and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until most of the milk has reduced and the meat is fully broken down, about 15–20 minutes.
5. Add white wine
Stir in 1 cup of white wine and continue simmering on medium-low until reduced, about 20–30 minutes.
6. Build flavor
Add the Calabrian chili, minced garlic, and 3 tbsp tomato paste. Cook for 2–4 minutes, stirring frequently to deepen the flavor.
7. Add tomatoes & seasonings
Pour in the crushed San Marzano tomatoes, tomato sauce, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp additional salt. Stir well to combine.
8. Final simmer
Simmer gently on low heat for 20–30 minutes, uncovered, to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken. Taste and adjust salt or chili heat as needed.
9. Serve or store
Let cool slightly if using in lasagna, or serve hot over pasta like tagliatelle or rigatoni. This sauce also freezes beautifully!

ESPRESSO CHOCOLATE PROTEIN SHAKE
[Save & Share]

INGREDIENTS:
 
* 8 oz almond milk 
* 2 tbsp peanut butter 
* 1 scoop protein powder 
* 1 tbsp hemp seeds 
* 1 tbsp cacao powder 
* double shot espresso 
* 2 chopped dates 
* 4–5 ice cubes	
* 5 frozen banana slices 
* 1/4 tsp vanilla extract	
* sprinkle of sea salt
* sprinkle of cinnamon

1. Add all ingredients into a high-powered blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring everything is well combined.

NOTES:

* Peanut Butter: I use Kirkland’s Peanut Butter, which is a sugar-free option.
* Paleo Option: Swap peanut butter for almond butter for a full paleo recipe.
* Sweetness: For a sweeter shake, add 1 tbsp of maple syrup to taste.
* Frozen Banana: Peel and slice the banana into pieces, then place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight. I love adding a few frozen pieces to my shakes for a creamy, thick texture and that perfect chill!

Iced Matcha Latte with Starbucks-Style Vanilla Cold Foam 🍵

If you know me, you know I’m a huge matcha addict. So, after perfecting my go-to iced matcha latte, I had to finally share the recipe. This one’s been my daily fix for a while now, and the vanilla cold foam takes it to another level. I use mostly almond milk and a little bit of cream to make it not as heavy.

Full recipe is up on paleoish.com—but here’s what you need:

Ingredients:
	•	1g (1 tsp) ceremonial-grade matcha
	•	1/4 cup hot water (175-180°F)
	•	1/2 cup almond milk
	•	3 tbsp heavy cream
	•	1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
	•	1/4 tsp vanilla extract
