It’s summertime so I’ve been grilling a lot recently and more specifically, I’ve been working on making a really great burger. Ever since I discovered a cajun seasoning mixture for a smoked chicken, I’ve been putting it on almost everything and making burgers with the mix was an amazing game changer and it is…
BBQ Pulled Pork
My family always has shredded brisket cooked in a CrockPot every summer. It’s kind of been the go to dish to feed the 9 of us (4 in my family and 5 in my cousins’ who grew up a short 6 blocks away) for any special occasion during the summer. We have plenty in the…
Review: Against All Grain | Curried Short Ribs
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…
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…
Cajun Smoked Chicken
This past weekend I tried my hand at using a tool that I’ve always wanted to use: a smoker. A few of my friends have one of their own and I always have to hear about how awesome the food is once it’s done. I have to admit, it made me very jealous and I…
Review: 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking | Italian Wedding Soup
Well, they’ve done it again. Two of the hardest working people I know have released yet ANOTHER book. My good friends, Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate have been working hard on an expansion of their wildly popular ebook 30 Day Intro to Paleo called The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. Let…
Fried Catfish with Spicy Slaw and Sweet Potato Fries
This past week, Suzanne and I were able to get out of the hectic rat race that is Los Angeles for a nice quiet vacation at Big Bear Lake. It was a much needed trip filled with plenty of sunshine, fresh air, cooking outdoors and even catching up on some ever important sleep. A week…
Mu Shu Pork
A few weeks ago my friends Stacy and Matt from Paleo Parents contacted me (and several other paleo bloggers) to try and paleo-ify some meals from the Chinese chain, PF Chang’s. Sort of like a virtual dinner party of sorts. Since I already have a Beef and Broccoli post from the Sous Vide Showdown, I…
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…
