Juli Bauer is one of our favorite people. She’s hilarious, has a great attitude about life and embodies living in the moment. So, when she announced that she was working on her 3rd cookbook, and a big solo project at that, we were stoked! She had said early on that she wanted her voice to…
Products We Love: LIVE Soda
I tasted my first kombucha back in 2009, as my roommate at the time was into it. Though the drink itself has been around for ages, it was the early days of commercial booch to my knowledge – and I’ll just say that I remember thinking “so this tastes like feet…”. It was very unpleasant…
Fig Salad with Duck Prosciutto, Goat Cheese and Balsamic Drizzle
Wow. I can’t believe it’s been just over a year since I came up to work visual effects in Vancouver, BC. The time really flew by. This recipe is something that I made when I first came up here after finding one of my favorite shops Home on the Range Organics. If you’ve been following…
Review: Paleo Takeout | Sweet and Sour Chicken
When Russ Crandall (The Domestic Man, author of the The Ancestral Table) announced he was making a book full of paleo versions of popular takeout foods, my first thought was “I want that book”, followed by “that’s quite an undertaking!”. Sean & I watched Russ’s cooking demo at Paleo f(x) this year and his demo…
BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Last month, Suz and I got some much needed time together. I had just finished up some pretty brutal hours working in Vancouver on Jurassic World. So when I was finally able to decompress and take some time off, I went down to Alabama for 2 weeks to relax and spend quality time with Suz….
Flourless Dark Chocolate Cake
This Flourless Chocolate Cake has been in the works in the Pastured Test Kitchen for quite some time now. It started back several years ago when at my cousin’s birthday party in LA, she served this delicious flourless cake! Then there was another LA family get-together, and that cake was served again! Upon about the…
Traditional Beef Pho
It’s no secret that for the last 10 months or so I’ve been living up in Vancouver, BC for visual effects work. It really is a beautiful place right on the foothills of the mountains to the North and at the same time right on the ocean to the West. Alton Brown considers Vancouver to…
Paleo f(x) 2015 | Breakfast Hash
Paleo f(x) is our favorite event of the year. It’s a time when the community gets together to support the implementation of paleo as a lifestyle and not just as a diet. Sean has been to all 4 years of Paleo f(x), and me 3 of them. Each year it has grown, and it’s been…
Review: My Paleo Patisserie | Pistachio Ice Cream with Waffle Cones
When transitioning to a grain-free lifestyle, finding replacements for certain foods can be tough. Gluten makes pizza crust chewy, breads fluffy and grain-free flours aren’t the easiest to just swap out. Learning to make grain-free treats takes time and patience as your raw ingredients react differently than traditional grain flours. I’ve always said baking is…
Corned Beef Hash
Every year when we attend Paleo f(x) Conference in Austin TX (we’re presenting again this year so you don’t want to miss out), we go eat at the fantastic restaurant 24 Diner. The past two years, they’ve had an amazing corned beef hash that I’ve eaten more than once per trip. I made all this…
