This is something I’ve wanted to try for awhile. I haven’t made too many ribs in my paleo adventure, and there really hasn’t been a good reason as to why. With it being Memorial Day, one of the biggest BBQ days of the year, I figured now would be a great time to give them…
Chipotle Beef Barbacoa
Cinco de Mayo is fast approaching and while we’ve posted recipes that celebrate this day in the past, this is a recipe that Sean has always wanted to do: Beef Barbacoa from Chipotle. There’s just something about that smoky, spicy latin BBQ that he can’t get enough of. Plus, we’ve been meaning to find a…
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
It’s time for Valentine’s Day and what is a more classic and simple recipe to make for that special someone than chocolate covered strawberries? I’m actually surprised that I haven’t posted something like this sooner. It’s such a simple way to make a great dessert that is sure to impress. What’s a little different about…
Smoked Chicken Wings with Homemade Ranch
It seems like for the past few months almost that I’ve been on a big time chicken wing kick. And I mean, BIG TIME. I think I have averaged chicken wings about 2-3 times per week. I think one of the best things about chicken wings has to be the fact that the cooking…
Spicy Queso with Homemade Chorizo
This is another one of those classic snacks that I would enjoy while growing up and even into college and beyond. I’m talking of course of that classic Tex Mex dish: Queso Dip. Of course the way I always made it usually involved a brick of fake cheese, cheap salsa and a crock pot. Over…
Crab Dip with Homemade Cocktail Sauce
This is an appetizer that my family serves at virtually every get together we have. Most notably Thanksgiving and Christmas. The version we usually make is a simple parfait of sorts of all the ingredients layered on top of each other. Traditionally, we just place the cream cheese log on a plate then add crab…
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…
Crock Pot Bone Broth
First off, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I truly hope your holiday break was as amazing as mine was. My girlfriend and I each traveled home to Colorado to visit our families for Christmas. Her entire family was in town from Alabama for the eventual birth of her new nephew. Which…
Herb Roasted Turkey and Gravy with Citrus Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it brings one of the most iconic dishes in America: The Roasted Turkey. We’ve all experienced some amazingly succulent and tasty birds in our Thanksgiving pasts, but I think it’s safe to say we’ve also experienced the opposite. A turkey so dry and bland that it almost…
Avocado Goat Cheese Stuffed Burgers with Sriracha Dipping Sauce
A few weeks ago I was experimenting with avocados as a topping for some burgers. I had just grown tired of using sliced avocado on my burgers and remembered the success I had (texture wise anyway) using whipped avocado for a mousse. If it could work there, why not as a topping for some burgers?…
