It’s no secret that for the last 10 months or so I’ve been living up in Vancouver, BC for visual effects work. It really is a beautiful place right on the foothills of the mountains to the North and at the same time right on the ocean to the West. Alton Brown considers Vancouver to…
Cajun Shrimp Salad
Last month, Suz and I completed our first Whole 30 Challenge in a couple of years. She was in Alabama and I was here in Vancouver, BC. It went so well, that we’re actually starting another one for the month of March. This recipe is perfect for anytime but especially for Whole 30 or 21DSD…
Lamb Korma
When Suz and I lived in LA, there was an Indian place in our neighborhood that we would eat at a couple times a month. It was easily one of our favorite places and I always looked forward to our dinners there. I’ve been on a huge lamb kick lately and since I’ve been up in…
Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Brussels Sprouts and Pecans with Balsamic Drizzle
I. Love. Brussels Sprouts. And did you know it’s properly spelled Brussels? Not brussel or brussels. I always was unsure if I was spelling it correctly, and a dip into the Google pool turns up info that they were predominately grown in Brussels, Belgium. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle)! Anyway, I…
Crab Cake Deviled Eggs
January is halfway over and Suz and I are on day 12 of our Whole30. We’ve completed one or two in the past but I must say, this time, it’s been much easier. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the new year and maybe it’s that we’ve completed the challenge before. But I honestly think…
Thanksgiving Meatloaf Muffins with Cranberry Ketchup & Cauliflower Mash
A few weeks ago, I made some mini-meatloaf muffins “frosted” with mashed potatoes for my weekly girls night (in which we watch Dancing with the Stars – don’t hate. Team Alfonso btw). Needless to say, they were a huge hit! I had used dark turkey meat but made it more of a traditional Italian meatloaf….
Prosciutto Wrapped Melon
It’s officially Summer and that means that melons are in season! We’ve shared recipes in the past that feature the American Classic: Watermelon here and here before, but this recipe features my all time favorite. That of course, is cantaloupe. I don’t know why, but ever since I was a kid, I always preferred cantaloupe…
BBQ Flavored Pork Rinds
I have to admit, one of the things that I miss the most, especially in the summertime when BBQ’s are happening what seems like every weekend is a good salty, crispy, fried snack. Ever since switching to a lower carb paleo approach to deal with my epilepsy, chips are off the menu (not that they…
Duck Fat and Herb Roasted Asparagus
When I was home in Alabama for a few weeks visiting my family, my mom and I got to do a lot of cooking. We were throwing together dinner one night, having brought home a rotisserie chicken for the main meat. My mom had asparagus on hand and threw together this awesome side dish and…
Review: The Ancestral Table | New England Clam Chowder
When we first met Russ Crandall at Paleo f(x) in Austin, TX last Spring, we had heard of him & his blog – The Domestic Man – for sure…and his opinion on onions ;). If you haven’t read Russ’s story, it’s one that will inspire you – check it out on his blog here. After…
