When I finally figured out the secret to making delicious homemade chorizo, I definitely have gone a little crazy in using it for everything. From subbing out bacon in the morning (shocking, I know) to making a cleaner version of a queso dip I grew up with, this new chorizo has been close to an…
Review: The Ancestral Table | New England Clam Chowder
When we first met Russ Crandall at Paleo f(x) in Austin, TX last Spring, we had heard of him & his blog – The Domestic Man – for sure…and his opinion on onions ;). If you haven’t read Russ’s story, it’s one that will inspire you – check it out on his blog here. After…
Spiced Cider Brined Head Cheese
This has been something that I’ve wanted to make for over 2 years now. I first heard of headcheese from a friend of mine at the gym. I was running a 12 week paleo challenge there, and he asked me what my take on headcheese was. At the time I was dead against any and…
Review: Nom Nom Paleo: Food For Humans | Asian Cauliflower Fried “Rice”
If you’re a paleo person, just starting out or a veteran offal eater – you’ve got to be familiar with the seriously popular site by Michelle Tam: Nom Nom Paleo. Michelle’s site is dedicated to paleo recipes, yes, but it’s oh-so-much more. That’s why when she broke the news that she and her husband Henry…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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….
