With the weather warming up, now is the time for me to switch from hot coffee in the morning to cold. In the past, I would have just brewed coffee the normal way and let it come down in temperature naturally but a few weeks ago a friend of mine told me about cold brewing…
Grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
I know I’ve posted a lot of recipes recently that have to do with the grill but it’s nice and sunny weather here in Los Angeles and we’re half way through April so the season is upon us. I know that it’s not nice everywhere (my hometown in Colorado just got 7 inches of snow…
Blood Orange Mango Margarita
Now that the weather is starting to get warmer (well, in most places), that means BBQ season and the margaritas are starting to flow. Typically in the paleo world, most people are familiar with the NorCal Margarita that Robb Wolf is known for bestowing upon us. This is based off of that concept but adds…
Hickory BBQ Sauce
This is something I’ve been playing with for quite sometime now. One thing that I always loved growing up was great Hickory BBQ sauce. Since I switched to this eating style, it’s been tough to find anything decent that doesn’t contain a bunch of sugars and other junk in it. I think I’ve finally got…
Sweet Sesame Ginger Salmon
I’ve been eating a ton of beef and pork lately and I figured it would be a great time to get some quality seafood and all their nutritious omega-3’s in my diet. I’ve made a similar variation of this salmon dish for years but it had some not so paleo friendly ingredients in them, so…
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
A restaurant that I attend on a regular basis sometimes serves a whipped avocado topping for their amazing burgers. The texture is just so light and creamy much like a mousse so I figured, why not add some cacao powder and some other goodies to a whipped avocado and try to make a great mousse…
Paleo Soy Sauce
With my Sous Vide Supreme Showdown submission of Beef and Broccoli, I’ve been cooking a lot more Asian inspired foods. While it’s common to use coconut aminos as a soy sauce replacement, I find that the flavors don’t translate exactly the way I’d like. It seems that the coconut aminos doesn’t quite have the same…
Homemade Almond Milk
When I first started my paleo journey 3 years ago (wow, time flies.), one of the hardest things for me to eliminate was dairy, specifically milk. I had spent the majority of my life drinking at least 1 glass of milk per day so when the ‘No grains, dairy or legumes’ rule came out, I…
Pan Roasted Duck Legs with Black Cherry Sauce
Duck has to be one of my favorite birds to eat and cook. It doesn’t hurt that one of the side effects of cooking duck is an extra cache of delicious duck fat that can be used for a great many things in the kitchen. It is, after all referred to by many a cook…
Sweet Dijon Chicken
For the past month or so, I’ve been cooking almost exclusively with my new SousVide machine. Mostly, that’s due to the fact that I was participating in a Paleo Recipe Showdown utilizing the SousVide and Tx Bar Organics beef. While I have loved learning the method of SousVide, after a month, I’m a little tired of…
