Now that spring is officially here and more veggies are in season, I decided to make a veggie medley or succotash from the goodies I can pick up in my local farmers market in Mar Vista. I have been attending this particular farmers market for almost two years. It’s easily my favorite one in all…
Paleo Mayo
I’ve always been a fan of mayo. It was one of my favorite condiments for sandwiches, meat, and even dipping veggies in. Now that I’m eating a ketogenic paleo diet for epilepsy, I found that utilizing paleo mayo is a great way to keep my fat content up. It’s also infinitely customizable. Add a couple…
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…
Paleo Benedict
This has to be one of my all time, favorite breakfast dishes. So on Easter Sunday, I decided to make it for me and my girlfriend. Earlier, I wrote a poached eggs post (I finally figured out how to do it properly) so I knew this would be a great time to give a paleo…
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…
Ketogenic Pizza
Pizza. One of the most delicious foods known to man. Is there any food out there that could be less ketogenic? One of my personal Achilles’ Heel foods. Before I went paleo, I can safely say that I would average eating pizza about 3 times a week. So, when I did make the switch, it…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly one of the most misunderstood veggies out there. My dad shares the generalized opinion that they are the most foul tasting vegetable on the planet. His mom wasn’t the greatest cook so I’m told, so a lot of his food was either bland, or came from a can. However, today…
Smoked Paprika Oven Roasted Salmon
This is just a different way to look at salmon really. I was getting tired of eating it either grilled on a cedar plank or poached in the salmon chowder recipe from Everyday Paleo. Although I love both recipes, I wanted to think a little outside the box and apply my long standing obsession of…
Perfect Poached Eggs
I’ve always been a fan of eggs. I was always able to make the different styles: scrambled, fried, boiled, but for some reason, I could never figure out how to poach and egg without the whites turning into squid tentacles as soon as it hit the water. I knew that vinegar is somehow a factor,…
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)…
