Greek-style Green Beans (from Cooking Light)

I love green beans. I love them simply steamed with a drizzle of olive oil, I love them cooked in garlicky tomato sauce. I love them in a salad. But Greek-style green beans has become a favourite side dish in my house. It's super simple to make but really dresses up your dinner plate.

Carrot Banana Muffins (from Elana's Pantry)

When I was eating low GI, I used to enjoy a weekly wholegrain breakfast muffin along with some hardboiled eggs or a mini frittata. I quite fancied being able to fit this tradition into my primal diet.

Slow-Cooker Spicy Chicken

Kalyn's Kitchen has been a mainstay of my low GI cooking and, good news, a lot of her recipes are pretty primal-friendly too! Her spicy shredded chicken provided a great base ingredient (with a few flavour tweaks to suit my household and the ingredients available in the UK) for my first consciously primal evening meal. The chicken is really versatile; in addition to making great lettuce wraps, it is superb in spicy Mexican chicken and cauliflower rice.
