A few weeks ago, I made some mini-meatloaf muffins “frosted” with mashed potatoes for my weekly girls night (in which we watch Dancing with the Stars – don’t hate. Team Alfonso btw). Needless to say, they were a huge hit! I had used dark turkey meat but made it more of a traditional Italian meatloaf….
Best of Paleo Recipes eBook
Announcement time!! What if you could have recipes from oodles of paleo bloggers and cookbook authors all in one place? Well, our good friends Bill & Hayley of Primal Palate have done just that. Flashback to months ago, when while visiting B&H (*not the photo store, though that wouldn’t be far off) in Pittsburgh, they…
Fish Oil for Epilepsy and Neurological Function
Back in November I wrote quite a lengthy post about my success at convincing my neurology team to allow me to come off some if not all of my medications. As of now, it’s been 11 months since I started tapering off one of the two medications I’ve taken for epilepsy. It’s been a long…
Review ~ Paleo By Season | Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
We first met Pete & Sarah Servold at a Balanced Bites seminar in our old gym back in early 2013. Diane had brought them up to cater the event, and Sean and I immediately hit it off with the Pete’s Paleo team. One bite of the bacon, and you’re in love. Pete’s background as a…
Grilled Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin
A few months back, we were introduced to the monocled master condiment, Sir Kensingtons by our friend Juli of PaleOMG. She had been posting about the mayo for a little while and just couldn’t stop raving about it. The fact that it is all clean ingredients is a huge win, but it also tastes absolutely…
Top 10 Recipes for Labor Day Weekend
The summer is almost over, can you believe it? I can’t. Seems like not that long ago I packed up and moved (temporarily) to Vancouver for a short term job and that was already TWO MONTHS AGO! Summer has really flown by this year. That means that school is almost (or in some cases already…
Review ~ Paleo Grilling: A Modern Caveman’s Guide to Cooking with Fire
Summers and grilling go together like peas and carrots, or any other pair that is just right in all ways possible – maybe caveman & fire? :D. Spending an afternoon around the grill is imperative in the summertime, and better yet when you’re surrounded by friends and/or family. Of course, firing up the grill doesn’t…
Carrot Cake Faux Oatmeal Cookies
My all-time favorite cake has to be carrot cake. It’s something I inherited from my dad…along with the same birthday. Which is tomorrow by the way! For the last 3 years, Suz has made me the carrot cake our friends Bill and Hayley made in their first book Make It Paleo (rumor is, they’re working…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
In case you didn’t know, I have a pretty big sweet tooth. And ice cream? Yeah, it’s my weakness. I love dark chocolate and all, but to me ice cream is hard to pass up when I’m craving something sweet. Another go-to has to be Cappello’s Slice & Bake Cookie Dough from Primal Palate’s recipe….
Vanilla Sage Grilled Pork Chop
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t have a lot of pork chops growing up. When we did, we usually rocked the Shake n’ Bake method which from what I remember, the flavor was really good (most likely due to chemically enhanced seasonings like MSG) but seemed to be a crap shoot as to whether…
