This past weekend Suzanne was out so I was left to fend for myself for dinner. I had just received a smoker box for my grill a few weeks prior as a gift and I wanted to try it out. I took a handful of applewood chips and soaked them in water to get them…
Paleo Cupcakes with Coconut Cream ‘Frosting’
At the beginning of the year, Suzanne and I started the 21-day Sugar Detox. It was a tough 3 weeks but we came out much more sensitive to sugar and healthier all around. But don’t believe we didn’t struggle through some nasty sugar withdrawals! So, once it ended, we decided it was time for a treat…
Paleo Zucchini Pasta Bolognese
My mom always made a great bolognese, and it has long been one of my favorite pasta dishes. It being the 2nd to last night of the 21 Day Sugar Detox, I thought it would be fun to try and make a great paleo bolognese ‘pasta’ dish using zucchini noodles instead of regular pasta or…
Unexpected Meat Stockpile!
The 21 Day Sugar Detox is winding down and I knew that the Whole Foods in El Segundo is having a sale today on wild caught sockeye salmon for $8/lb instead of $17/lb, so I met my Suzanne there during my lunch break so I could stock up (and she would take them home to…
Paleo Crock Pot Chili
Chili is just one of those great hearty meals that always seems best in the cold months of the year. Or in LA, when the temperature dips below 60. I can’t wait to make this during the next couple months especially since ski season is starting, and nothing tastes better than a big bowl of…
Paleo Shepherd’s Pie
Shepherd’s Pie is one of my favorite comfort dishes. It’s a great hearty meal to eat when the weather turns cold. A couple weeks ago, Suzanne and I had a hankering for it so we decided to give it a paleo twist. Shepherd’s Pie Paleo Style Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 8…
Roasted Winter Squash Soup
Squash is in season which means I can make one of my childhood favorite holiday dishes: Winter Squash Soup. For as long as I can remember, my mom made this soup during the holidays and sometimes after the new year (if I bugged her enough to do so). The beauty of this family recipe is…
Braised Greens Southern Style
Since Suzanne is from the South, I have made it a goal to try and make some great paleo renditions of southern fare for her as well as myself. The excellent cookbook put out last year, Paleo Comfort Foods, made it a little easier to make this possible. While Paleo Comfort is an excellent…
Crispy Kale Chips
One common theme that a lot of people new to paleo experience is what to snack on. There is really only so many almonds, hard boiled eggs, and jerky anyone can take. It can get very boring unless you’re the type of person who can eat the same thing day after day forever. I had…
Penn and Teller’s take on HFCS
My brother sent me this the other day. Pretty funny take on HFCS but yet oh so right on point. Never miss a new recipe, get them delivered to your inbox!
