Last weekend, I had the great opportunity to attend Paleo FX in Austin, TX. Similar to the Ancestral Health Symposium, held in August, Paleo FX was full of who’s who in the paleo world, from the all knowing and all powerful, Robb Wolf to Mark Sisson to Chris Kresser to Dr Jack Kruse to James…
Ketogenic Pizza
Pizza. One of the most delicious foods known to man. Is there any food out there that could be less ketogenic? One of my personal Achilles’ Heel foods. Before I went paleo, I can safely say that I would average eating pizza about 3 times a week. So, when I did make the switch, it…
Consumption of ALL Red Meat Leads to Premature Death?
The LA Times published this article today in which the headline reads: All Red Meat is Bad For You, New Study Says. It essentially makes the statement that eating red meat of any kind in any amount will cause premature death. It’s become pretty big on the google trends as well. I’ve been talking with…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly one of the most misunderstood veggies out there. My dad shares the generalized opinion that they are the most foul tasting vegetable on the planet. His mom wasn’t the greatest cook so I’m told, so a lot of his food was either bland, or came from a can. However, today…
Smoked Paprika Oven Roasted Salmon
This is just a different way to look at salmon really. I was getting tired of eating it either grilled on a cedar plank or poached in the salmon chowder recipe from Everyday Paleo. Although I love both recipes, I wanted to think a little outside the box and apply my long standing obsession of…
Perfect Poached Eggs
I’ve always been a fan of eggs. I was always able to make the different styles: scrambled, fried, boiled, but for some reason, I could never figure out how to poach and egg without the whites turning into squid tentacles as soon as it hit the water. I knew that vinegar is somehow a factor,…
Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs in Marinara Sauce
A classic home cooked favorite of most people I think, is spaghetti and meatballs. The marinara sauce is the easiest thing to convert into a paleo rendition, but the other two are well known foods that contain flours and other sorts of non paleo fare. The most common way around the spaghetti (and most pastas)…
Marinara Sauce
This recipe is very similar to that of my bolognese. There are fewer ingredients in the marinara, and this sauce is a smoother texture since there is no meat in it. I use this sauce typically for spaghetti squash and meatballs or even for homemade pizza sauce (I know pizza isn’t paleo but I’m working…
Duck Fat Yucca Fries
Ever since I heard yucca fries brought up during one of Robb Wolf’s podcasts as an alternative to sweet potatoes, I’ve been curious to try them. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sweet fries, but after eating paleo for just about two years, it’s about time that I experiment with an alternative, you…
Neurological Benefits of Coconut Oil
A friend of mine posted this video on facebook a few days back. It talks about the positive effect coconut oil has on Alzheimer’s. I was immediately intrigued since my symptoms of epilepsy are, as I understand it, similar to dementia or certain aspects of Alzheimer’s. At the very least, both are neurological. So I…
