A few weeks ago I was at a friend’s housewarming party and we made these amazing yet simple steaks for the party. Also, included was some amazing Argentina style chimichurri sauce. If you’re not familiar with chimichurri, it’s prepared in a similar fashion to a pesto, but has a few different ingredients and a stronger…
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…
Homemade Hoisin Sauce
One of my favorite Asian appetizers is chicken satay. I just love the salty, sweet and spicy peanut based dipping sauce that it comes with. I even used to make a chicken stir fry dish with the same sauce. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make it until now. Last week I was approached by…
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…
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…
Oven Roasted Tender Medallions with Rosemary Horseradish Mayo
I love tenderloin…who doesn’t right? The problem is, it costs a fortune. Recently, I came across a much less expensive alternative though. The Teres Major roast. The teres major is known by a few names: beef shoulder petite tender, beef shoulder tender petite roast, tender medallions and bistro filet. It is one of the most tender cuts on…
Macadamia Nut Garden Fresh Pesto
I’ve always been a big fan of pesto. It’s become one of my favorite ways to dress up salads recently as well. We have a small (3 plants) herb garden on our balcony and when I returned home from my hunting trip, I found that the basil plant had grown quite a bit so what…
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…
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)…
Marinara Sauce
This recipe is very similar to that of my bolognese. There are fewer ingredients in the marinara, and this sauce is a smoother texture since there is no meat in it. I use this sauce typically for spaghetti squash and meatballs or even for homemade pizza sauce (I know pizza isn’t paleo but I’m working…
