As many of you who read my blog know, I have epilepsy and I am trying my best to treat it naturally without the use of medication. Currently, I still take medication but a much smaller dose than I used to thanks in part by a healthy diet and lifestyle. If you want the extended…
Paleo Pumpkin Chili
Lately I’ve been utilizing a lot of fall and winter vegetables in my cooking. I love this time of year and last year I wrote about how much I love chili around this time as well. The inspiration for this recipe comes from my old chili recipe. I figured with all the pumpkin recipes out…
Grilled Sardines in Herb Ghee
I have never had sardines before. The initial thought of them conjures up images of tiny oily fish in a can. Not too appetizing in my opinion, so I never even knew that they came in larger, fresher forms. As it turns out, they’re pretty tasty albeit a little involved to prepare since they come…
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites
Fall is here and that means pumpkin everything – last week, I attempted to paleoify an old favorite: the chocolate chip pumpkin cookie. These little Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bites are so delicious that it’s hard to eat just one. But remember, a treat – paleo or not – is still a treat. These are perfect…
Oven Roasted Tender Medallions with Rosemary Horseradish Mayo
I love tenderloin…who doesn’t right? The problem is, it costs a fortune. Recently, I came across a much less expensive alternative though. The Teres Major roast. The teres major is known by a few names: beef shoulder petite tender, beef shoulder tender petite roast, tender medallions and bistro filet. It is one of the most tender cuts on…
Pan Roasted Swordfish Steaks
There was a sale for wild, line caught swordfish steaks the other day so we decided to get a couple to try it out. I’ve always been a fan of pan roasting and since swordfish steaks are particularly thick and not a very delicate fish, I thought this would be a great opportunity to…
Macadamia Nut Garden Fresh Pesto
I’ve always been a big fan of pesto. It’s become one of my favorite ways to dress up salads recently as well. We have a small (3 plants) herb garden on our balcony and when I returned home from my hunting trip, I found that the basil plant had grown quite a bit so what…
Ancestral Health Symposium 2012
Earlier this month I was fortunate enough to attend the 2nd annual Ancestral Health Symposium or AHS from here on out, at Harvard University. Last year it was held at UCLA and was therefore much easier (and less expensive) for me to attend. However, given the amount that I had learned last year at AHS…
Oven Roasted Crispy Salmon Skins
I love salmon. In my house, we tend to eat salmon fillet on average of about once a week. Most of the time, I leave the skin on during the cooking process. Sometimes however, I will cook it with the skin removed. Since there’s some good stuff in the skins, I feel it’s a waste…
Hard Cider Braised ‘Beer’ Bratwurst
One of my favorite summer dishes has to be beer bratwurst. The long slow cooking process releases all kinds of great flavors from the beer and the veggies along with it. Follow that by searing them on the grill is the perfect way to have a cookout in the backyard or in my case, apartment….
