We’re officially in Mid December A.K.A. the thick of the Holiday Season. Now is the time where everyone starts making (and devouring) all those tempting and delicious holiday treats. My family alone makes over 8 different kinds of cookies and treats for Christmastime. From turtles (chocolate, caramel and pecans) to hazelnut chocolate covered chow mein…
Breakfast Sausage
It’s no secret that I’m a lover of all things bacon. It’s a rarity if I don’t have at least a slice in any given day. Over the last few months it’s even gotten to a point where I make all my own now. As much as I don’t want to admit it, sometimes I’m…
Chocolate Chip Muffins
Paleo muffins are a great source of post-workout protein & carbs and of course a really easy, grab-and-go breakfast. I’ve been making various versions of paleo muffins over the past few years, but after seeing chocolate chip muffins at our local coffee shop, I had to try to create a version I could eat. These…
Home Cured Bacon
Earlier I wrote a post about the first time I used a smoker for an amazing smoked chicken 4th of July meal. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of bacon. Who isn’t right? But over the last year or so, I’ve started to make as much as I could at home. That way…
Carmelized Banana Milkshake
Earlier this week I wrote a big post summarizing our amazing trip to Pittsburgh to spend some time with our friends Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers. We had an amazing time to say the least. While I know most of the post talked about the fantastic food we had at restaurants, we also…
Homemade Chorizo
I love chorizo. It’s definitely one of my favorite types of sausage. I dare say, it’s just almost as versatile as bacon when creating meals. There’s just something about it that I can’t get enough of. This dates back to my pre paleo days as well. Back then, I just bought whatever was in the…
Sirloin Steak and Eggs
It seems like everyone’s go-to breakfast in the paleo world is bacon and eggs with some veggies in there (and honestly, who can blame that breakfast?). I know that’s been mine for almost 3 years now. But as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life, so I’ve been tinkering with another popular breakfast…
Paleo Egg Nog
It’s officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Every year when egg nog hits the shelves in stores I find that I just can’t help myself and must indulge. I’ve had a lifelong obsession with this magical holiday concoction. There’s just something about that sweet, creamy beverage that really makes…
Paleo Benedict
This has to be one of my all time, favorite breakfast dishes. So on Easter Sunday, I decided to make it for me and my girlfriend. Earlier, I wrote a poached eggs post (I finally figured out how to do it properly) so I knew this would be a great time to give a paleo…
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,…
