Ketchup

Ketchup is little more than a combination of tomato paste and various flavorings so it is very easy to make your own. Simply combine one 6-ounce can of tomato paste with 2 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar and 1/3 cup water. Then, stir in a quarter teaspoon of various spices like dry mustard powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice to give your ketchup a unique flavor. If you are a fan of spicy food, feel free to add a dash of cayenne pepper!

Mustard

Mustard is another standard condiment that is very easy to make from scratch. To make plain yellow mustard, simply combine equal parts dry mustard powder and water and throw in a pinch of sea salt for taste. To add flavor, feel free to mix in a pinch of fresh herbs, lemon zest or a tablespoon of vinegar. If you prefer whole-grain mustard over plain yellow mustard, just combine ¼ cup yellow mustard seeds and ¼ cup brown mustard seeds with 1 cup water and let them soak overnight. In the morning, combine the seeds in a food processor with a tablespoon or so of dry mustard powder and a little sea salt and blend it until it is paste-like.

Barbecue Sauce

Barbecue sauce is a great condiment to make at home because there are so many things you can do to customize the flavor. Start off by combining one 6-ounce can of tomato paste with ½ cup water, ½ cup apple cider vinegar and ¼ cup homemade ketchup. Set those ingredients aside and heat up a skillet then brown 1 minced onion along with a minced clove of garlic. Stir in the tomato paste mixture along with a few tablespoons of homemade mustard, a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of smoked paprika then simmer for half an hour. Feel free to customize this recipe by adding honey to make honey barbecue sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

Dessert Ideas

Just because you’ve made the decision to follow the Paleo Diet doesn’t mean that you have to give up eating good food. There are countless delicious, flavorful recipes that can be made using only Paleo ingredients and that applies to dessert as well! While you may not be indulging in a big bowl of ice cream or a thick slice of carrot cake after switching to the Paleo Diet, there are plenty of options to satisfy your sweet tooth.

If you love to bake, switching to the Paleo Diet doesn’t mean you have to kiss your hobby goodbye – you may just need to do a little bit of experimenting to figure out how to use gluten-free flours. There are over a dozen wheat flour alternatives, many of which can be used in the Paleo Diet. Some of these flours include almond flour, coconut flour and flax meal. As an alternative to refined sugars, you can use fruit juice, fresh fruit, raw honey, agave syrup or pure maple syrup.

The options are endless in terms of Paleo-friendly desserts
