This is something that I’ve been wanting to make for awhile. Initially, I wanted to use an entire bone in leg of lamb but a few weeks ago, the circuit that my freezer was connected to decided to short out while I was in Pittsburgh for the Paleo Royal Wedding of The Food Lovers’ Primal…
Pumpkin Bacon Soup
A couple weeks ago while I was in Colorado for my annual elk hunt (obviously that didn’t work out due to the 100 year flood), pumpkins first came into season. I decided since it was raining and perfect Fall type weather, it would be perfect to try out a new soup idea I had been…
Grilled New York Strip Steak with Hatch Chile Chimichurri
A few weeks ago I was at a friend’s housewarming party and we made these amazing yet simple steaks for the party. Also, included was some amazing Argentina style chimichurri sauce. If you’re not familiar with chimichurri, it’s prepared in a similar fashion to a pesto, but has a few different ingredients and a stronger…
Watermelon Basil Salad
I know this site is more known for the ‘low carb’ sort of recipes but seeing as it’s summertime and watermelons are in season, I’ve wanted to get this recipe up for awhile. My thought behind it is: it’s the proper season for these tasty melons and even though I tend to eat a lower…
Cajun Burgers with Carmelized Onions
It’s summertime so I’ve been grilling a lot recently and more specifically, I’ve been working on making a really great burger. Ever since I discovered a cajun seasoning mixture for a smoked chicken, I’ve been putting it on almost everything and making burgers with the mix was an amazing game changer and it is…
BBQ Pulled Pork
My family always has shredded brisket cooked in a CrockPot every summer. It’s kind of been the go to dish to feed the 9 of us (4 in my family and 5 in my cousins’ who grew up a short 6 blocks away) for any special occasion during the summer. We have plenty in the…
Review: Against All Grain | Curried Short Ribs
Paleo Book Season is definitely in full swing. I have been lucky enough to get on the right list somehow for advanced copies of some great books. The latest one to hit my doorstep is Against All Grain by Danielle Walker, the genius mind behind the blog of the same name. Not only are the…
Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
I love ice cream. It’s hands-down one of my favorite treats – be it summer or winter. I can handle dairy OK, but occasionally I need to lay off the cow, so I decided to try my hand at making vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Meanwhile, try out the vanilla and let me know what…
Watermelon Granita
Ever since I can remember, summertime is my absolutely FAVORITE time of the year. I lived at our neighborhood pool, where I was on the swim team, later on a lifeguard and swim coach. Watermelon and summer go together like bacon & eggs – and there’s nothing better than eating a slice of juicy watermelon…
Home Cured Bacon
Earlier I wrote a post about the first time I used a smoker for an amazing smoked chicken 4th of July meal. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of bacon. Who isn’t right? But over the last year or so, I’ve started to make as much as I could at home. That way…
