I love chorizo. It’s definitely one of my favorite types of sausage. I dare say, it’s just almost as versatile as bacon when creating meals. There’s just something about it that I can’t get enough of. This dates back to my pre paleo days as well. Back then, I just bought whatever was in the…
Review: Fermented | Kefir
Back in late March, I met my now good friend, Jill Ciciarelli in Austin, TX at Paleo FX. She and her husband, know simply as Dude stayed in the same house as me and Suzanne, along with Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate and Diane from Balanced Bites. We all quickly became…
Roasted Asparagus Soup with Bacon
About 6 weeks ago or so, my parents came to visit from Colorado. We spent the weekend up in Santa Barbara where I went to college. One restaurant where we ate dinner that weekend had this amazing asparagus soup appetizer. When I inquired about what was in the soup other than asparagus, the waiter said…
Strawberry Bellinis
With the weather warming up, soon we’ll be attending barbecue’s, outdoor parties and the occasional beach bash. One of my favorite festive beverages has to be the Bellini. Traditional Bellinis are made with Prosecco & peach purée – but don’t let those yummy, fuzzy stone fruits thwart your creativity. Bellinis can be made with any…
Sirloin Steak and Eggs
It seems like everyone’s go-to breakfast in the paleo world is bacon and eggs with some veggies in there (and honestly, who can blame that breakfast?). I know that’s been mine for almost 3 years now. But as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life, so I’ve been tinkering with another popular breakfast…
Gather: The Art of Paleo Entertaining
A few weeks ago at Paleo f(x), I was fortunate enough to score a review copy of ‘Gather: The Art of Paleo Entertaining’ from my friends Bill and Hayley at The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate, authors of the bestselling book, Make it Paleo. Thumbing through this thing, I can tell you it’s nothing short of amazing. They really…
Cold Brewed Coffee
With the weather warming up, now is the time for me to switch from hot coffee in the morning to cold. In the past, I would have just brewed coffee the normal way and let it come down in temperature naturally but a few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about cold brewing…
Grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
I know I’ve posted a lot of recipes recently that have to do with the grill but it’s nice and sunny weather here in Los Angeles and we’re half way through April so the season is upon us. I know that it’s not nice everywhere (my hometown in Colorado just got 7 inches of snow…
Blood Orange Mango Margarita
Now that the weather is starting to get warmer (well, in most places), that means BBQ season and the margaritas are starting to flow. Typically in the paleo world, most people are familiar with the NorCal Margarita that Robb Wolf is known for bestowing upon us. This is based off of that concept but adds…
Day Trip to San Diego: Butchery, Pete’s Paleo, and Chefery
***Warning!!! This post contains images of a whole pig being butchered. Some people may find these images offensive as the animal still has it’s face attached. Viewer discretion is advised.*** In the last year or so, I’ve become a big believer of not only eating animals that lived as healthy and happy as possible i.e….
