As many of you know, I’ve been selected as one of 12 paleo bloggers to compete in the Paleo Sous Vide Supreme Showdown featuring beef from Tx Bar Organics. I was supplied with a Sous Vide Supreme and a box of Tx Bar Organics beef earlier this month and was let loose in the kitchen, coming…
Pheasant Pâté
Over the holidays, while I was home in Colorado, the men in my family decided to go on a pheasant hunt. Sort of like a family male bonding day trip. Overall, the trip was a success. We managed to get 27 birds in total which yielded the perfect amount of livers for a nice Christmas…
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…
Hazelnut Butter
Recently, I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen working on my macadamia nut butter recipe to enjoy not only all on it’s own but also as the base for several other recipes like the Macadamia Coconut Candy. Since I was able to make what I thought, to be a pretty successful mac butter,…
Macadamia Coconut Cream Candy
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I drove the 90 minutes south to visit our friend George for some good times and of course ridiculous food. While we were there helping him make his pumpkin blueberry blondies, George introduced us to what is now the greatest substances ever: Coconut Cream Concentrate. I’ve been experimenting with…
Macadamia Nut Butter
If you’re a frequent reader of the blog, you’ll know that I’m a fan of macadamia nuts. They have a great creamy taste and texture. As a bonus, they are also naturally ketogenic, and they contain a low amount of Omega-6 fatty acids, which are pro-inflammatory, so they really are the ideal nut for me. …
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…
Maple Coconut Macaroons
I’ve always been a big fan of coconut. And in my early days of adopting a paleo diet, I ate my fair share of macaroons as long as they weren’t made with corn syrup anyway. When I started the ketogenic paleo approach, obviously sweets and desserts even the paleo kind were off limits. It really…
Pan Roasted Lamb Steak Over Cauliflower Mash
I’ve been on a bit of a lamb kick as of late. It all kind of started when I did the home cured lamb belly experiment. That turned out so well that I thought to try more to cook with lamb a little more often (usually my red meat source is beef). I’ve also expressed…
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…
