Paleo Book Season is definitely in full swing. I have been lucky enough to get on the right list somehow for advanced copies of some great books. The latest one to hit my doorstep is Against All Grain by Danielle Walker, the genius mind behind the blog of the same name. Not only are the…
Spicy White Chicken Chili
While I was home in Alabama, I decided to attempt a paleo version of white chili – the specialty of a local deli (Duffy’s for any Huntsville folks!). White chili is usually made with navy beans, cream and chicken – 2 out of 3 ain’t bad, right? This version has my own twist and got…
Paleo Pumpkin Chili
Lately I’ve been utilizing a lot of fall and winter vegetables in my cooking. I love this time of year and last year I wrote about how much I love chili around this time as well. The inspiration for this recipe comes from my old chili recipe. I figured with all the pumpkin recipes out…
Hard Cider Braised ‘Beer’ Bratwurst
One of my favorite summer dishes has to be beer bratwurst. The long slow cooking process releases all kinds of great flavors from the beer and the veggies along with it. Follow that by searing them on the grill is the perfect way to have a cookout in the backyard or in my case, apartment….
Cinco De Mayo Bacon Tacos
So, last year I posted a paleo taco salad recipe for Cinco de Mayo and I thought it would be a good thing to post another Cinco de Mayo related recipe. Ever since the ketogenic pizza creation, I’ve been playing with many different dishes that incorporate the bacon lattice. I finally decided on carnitas tacos…
Braised Short Ribs
Since we won that Le Crueset French Oven in Robb Wolf’s holiday recipe contest earlier this year, I’ve been really getting into braising things, especially in the last month or so. I’ve made the Southern Style Braised Greens on average of once a week easily (doesn’t hurt that there’s plenty of bacon in there). Today…
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)…
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…
Crock Pot Shredded Beef
This is another one of those “what do I have at home for food” inspired dishes. I had a 2 lb grass fed chuck roast and some carrots and an onion, so I decided to throw it all together and slow cook it with my smoked paprika rub. It turned out awesome with the consistency…
