    Everyday Is A BBQ Day with Primal Kitchen’s BBQ Marinade

    BBQ is all American family’s classic favorite food! Especially at holidays, nothing is better than grilling together and enjoying the great smoky food. About this year’s BBQ marinade, I want to introduce Primal Kitchen’s BBQ marinade sauces. Here I will show some recipes to update your normal BBQ recipes to the next level. How about Chinese BBQ Pork Buns?

    Do you love Dim Sum? I do! If you have Asian friends, the first ever meal he/she brings you to try probably would be dim sum. If this is not the first meal with your Asian friends, I believe you hear about Chinese dim sum a lot, right? As dim sum restaurants are not the places to go during these special days, let’s try to make them at home! Not difficult at all, with Primal Kitchen’s organic and no sugar Classic BBQ Sauce.

    Chinese BBQ Pork Buns

    Celebrate a Asian food-inspired Christmas or the coming Chinese New Year in style with gluten-free BBQ Pork Buns, made with Primal Kitchen and packed with uncompromisingly delicious flavor. Whether you’re hosting a family party or looking for something savory and celebratory just for two, this dish is for you.

    Primal Kitchen organic and no sugar Classic BBQ Sauce comes with just enough smokey flavor to really make this recipe pop. Luxurious and soft, these Chinese BBQ Buns come to life when combined with our brand new, best-selling sauce, renowned for its depth of flavor and high quality, Whole30-Approved ingredients. Check out the full recipe at here.

    Whole30 BBQ Chicken with Coffee Dry Rub & Hawaiian BBQ Sauce

    This isn’t an average grilled chicken recipe—it starts with a punchy, memorable homemade dry rub that’s Whole30, keto, and Primal/paleo—gets cooked through in the oven, brushed with Whole30 Approved Hawaiian barbecue sauce, and placed on a hot grill to develop a crisp charred exterior. Made with salt, seven spices, and decaffeinated coffee granules, this recipe’s Whole30 dry rub seasoning mix works beautifully on just about anything… from poultry to beef to cauliflower and eggplant, you can use all winter long to season any food you’d like to roast, bake, or grill.

    This recipe coats the chicken pieces in the Whole30 dry rub first, then bake the chicken in the oven in order to ensure even cooking. Then basting the chicken with Whole30 barbecue sauce before placing on the grill to char—if you coat the chicken pieces with barbecue sauce before cooking it in the oven, the sauce would burn and turn bitter rather than develop the lightly charred flavor that only a grill can provide. Check out the full recipe at here.

    Air Fryer Paleo Chicken Tenders with BBQ Sauce

    Most kids, no matter how old, adore chicken tenders. OK, maybe some (or most?) adults love them, too. These eat-with-your-hands family favorites are breaded with a spiced coating then usually deep fried until they reach golden perfection. Moist on the inside, crunchy on the outside, chicken tenders are fun to dunk in BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, ketchup, honey mustard, sweet and sour sauce, and on and on. Instead of buying frozen pre-made chicken tenders, or ordering them out at a sports bar, here created a Primal/paleo chicken tender recipe that includes no eggs, dairy, gluten, or grains. This paleo chicken tenders have an extra special zip, as using Primal Kitchen Vegan Ranch Dressing in the wet batter to ensure that this seasoned grain-free coating sticks to the chicken pieces. Dip the chicken tenders in Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce for tangy, smoky BBQ-ranch flavor.

    Instead of deep fried in canola or vegetable oil, this recipe coated the breaded chicken tenders with sprayable avocado oil then baked them in the Air Fryer. If you don’t have an Air Fryer, you can bake these chicken tenders in the oven at 425ºF for about 8 minutes per side (turn over halfway through baking) for a total of 16 minutes. Check out the full recipe at here.

    No Cook Meal Plan – Paleo BBQ Chicken Wraps

    Liberation can be won from standing over a hot stove, creating your own sauces, having anxiety about burning food, overcooking or undercooking meat, or feeling pressure to make everything from scratch because you want to eat more real foods. You don’t have to wave the metaphoric anti-cooking white flag either and order takeout or buy another ready-made meal from the grocery store because you don’t want to deal with the post-work hassle of deciding what to cook for dinner.

    Whether it’s too hot to turn on heat-creating kitchen appliances, you don’t know how or don’t want to cook, or you’re bone-tired and frazzled after meeting daytime obligations and can’t face an hour or more of food preparation, this no cook meal plan can be your saving grace. It’s a dinner that require little more effort than chopping produce; putting a store-bought rotisserie chicken to good use; and letting real-food, pre-made dressings, mayos, and sauces do the hard work of adding palate-pleasing flavor and variety to your and even your whole family’s evening meals. Check out the full recipe at here.

    Primal Kitchen products are unlike any others that you’ll find in the grocery store. The entire collection aims to satiate exquisitely with real, simple, exceptional ingredients—like avocado oil, collagen, oil of oregano and apple cider vinegar—that contain no dairy, gluten, grain, refined sugar or soy. As the founder, Mark would say, EAT LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, because it does.

    MARINARA SAUCE MADE WITH AVOCADO OIL - Sounds Healthy and Delicious

    As you may know that my husband Ryan has been on Keto Diet for almost a whole year. You must be curious about the result, and just like other people – he loves it and it turns out great. He loses about 20 pounds, as well as feels more energetic and concentrated. Keto Diet is great, but when I ask him, what do you miss the most of the normal diet? He says without any hesitations – Pizza! I guess pizza is the food which is not only missed by Ryan, but also is missed by tons of people who are on diet. Especially my mother-in-law is Sicilian, how come could Ryan give up his family’s traditional food? No worries, pizza lovers. Let’s get great products that fit in your diet.

    For the pizza crust, we choose the Superfood low net carbs pizza crust from Real Good Pizza Co., it might be a little bit pricy. But come on guys, you don’t want to save money on the things that you build your body with. For the sauce, let’s face with the truth. I recommend my favorite brand ever – Primal Kitchen’s Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce.

    Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce

    Spaghetti without the regret-ti. The new Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce is made with avocado oil, California-grown organic tomatoes, and basil— a simply delicious, classic take on a pantry staple! With no added sugars, artificial ingredients, gluten, canola or soybean oil, our vegan, plant-based sauce is Paleo-certified, Non-GMO Project verified, and Whole30 Approved.

    Get sauced responsibly with no added sugars, artificial ingredients, gluten, canola or soybean oil. This vegan, plant-based sauce is Paleo-Certified, Non GMO Project Verified, and Whole30 Approved. Primal Kitchen’s new Tomato Basil Marinara might seem like an overachiever, but it’s just made with simple, real ingredients like sea salt, organic oregano, and garlic. Sauce this tasty might seem in-pasta-ble, pre-pasta-rous and downright pasta-tively untrue. From homemade pizzas to stuffed tomatoes, gluten-free noodles to risotto, Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce is the culinary companion to all of your favorite Italian-inspired eats!

    • Plant-Based & Vegan: Made from Organic California-Grown Tomatoes and Avocado Oil
    • Paleo Certified & Whole30 Approved
    • No Gluten, Grain, Dairy, Soy, or Added Sugar

    For spaghetti without the regret-ti, pick Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce made with avocado oil! Organic, California-grown tomatoes, basil, and oregano add delicious, hearty flavor to this pantry staple.

    I have to say, we enjoyed our Pizza Dinner so much. For a “Keto Diet” wife, I admit I love the “normal pizza”. But a “Keto style” pizza like this, I think I even love it more – a healthy diet never hurts, plus it is so yummy. I will never complain about my husband diet any more. I love Keto pizza too!

    What else can you make with Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce for the Keto diet?

    Keto Chicken Parmesan

    Golden crisp on the outside with a moist, pleasantly chewable interior, doused in a sweet yet slightly acidic tomato sauce and blanketed in a thick cloak of clingy mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, chicken parmesan defines rustic Italian-American comfort food. Typically coated in white bread crumbs, deep-fried in canola or corn oil, and served sandwiched between a crusty Italian hero loaf or served atop a bed of spaghetti strands, traditional chicken parmesan is not keto, Primal/paleo, Whole30, or any other type of “clean” eating by any stretch. But, that may be beside the point. We eat comfort foods—those familiar childhood or late-night collegiate favorites—when we want to splurge, diet be damned.

    This recipe devised a compromise that’s both decadent and keto-friendly for those times when nothing but the real thing will do. This keto chicken parmesan is dredged in pulverized pork rinds, nestled in tangy tomato basil sauce, and topped with gooey bronzed cheese in a version which is better than the original. Check out the full recipe at here.

    Gluten-Free, Low-Carb Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Marinara

    Spaghetti or linguine with a large ladle of marinara is a staple side dish to classic Italian-American dishes like chicken or eggplant parmesan, a main-event meal when paired with meatballs, and even a standalone standby for kids when topped liberally with shredded parmesan.

    If you follow a low-carb diet, this quintessential easy-to-whip-up dish is either off the menu or made with spiralized veggie noodles.  Curly wisps of zucchini are recommended, yellow or butternut squash, carrot, and beet noodles and whip these up often, but there’s no denying that veggie noodles taste like veggies. If you’re looking for a rendition of spaghetti that’s low-carb, gluten-free, and low in calories, check out this version of low-carb spaghetti with marinara sauce made with hearts of palm noodles and topped with tangy, thick, slightly sweet, bright tomato sauce punctuated with basil. Check out the full recipe at here.

    In just five short years, Primal Kitchen has catapulted from a small but mighty natural foods start-up to an industry-disrupting leader in real-food condiments, dressings, sauces, snacks and pantry staples. There are also a lot of other recipes that you might be interested with Primal Kitchen’s sauces. Take a look of Primal Kitchen’s website, and get inspired!
