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…
Teriyaki Pineapple Shrimp Skewers
Well, I have officially been in Vancouver for a whole week as of yesterday! I can’t believe how fast the time is already going by. Because I haven’t really explained it yet, you might ask yourself, “Sean, why are you in Vancouver for the next 3 months?!” Well, my day job as it were is…
Bison Back Ribs with Sriracha Peach BBQ Sauce
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…
Pumpkin Pie Crème Brûlée
One of my favorite things about Fall and the holiday season in general is the abundance of pumpkin flavored…everything really. Before my evolution into paleo, I can safely say that I consumed my fair share of pumpkin pies, lattes, cakes, muffins among others. Once I gave up sugar and grains however, all that changed (for…
Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie
Pecan pie is about as American as, well, pie! It’s sugary, gooey and it’s just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite holiday treats. For most of my life, I had been enjoying the traditional pecan pie and I was happy. That is, until one day my Southern girlfriend told me about a…

Kelly Brozyna, AKA The Spunky Coconut, has come out with a freakin’ fabulous new cookbook – The Paleo Chocolate Lovers’ Cookbook. With over 80 recipes, Kelly has given us chocolatey…
Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream
I love ice cream. It’s hands-down one of my favorite treats – be it summer or winter. I can handle dairy OK, but occasionally I need to lay off the cow, so I decided to try my hand at making vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Meanwhile, try out the vanilla and let me know what…
Watermelon Granita
Ever since I can remember, summertime is my absolutely FAVORITE time of the year. I lived at our neighborhood pool, where I was on the swim team, later on a lifeguard and swim coach. Watermelon and summer go together like bacon & eggs – and there’s nothing better than eating a slice of juicy watermelon…
Home Cured Bacon
Earlier I wrote a post about the first time I used a smoker for an amazing smoked chicken 4th of July meal. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of bacon. Who isn’t right? But over the last year or so, I’ve started to make as much as I could at home. That way…
Strawberry Bellinis
With the weather warming up, soon we’ll be attending barbecue’s, outdoor parties and the occasional beach bash. One of my favorite festive beverages has to be the Bellini. Traditional Bellinis are made with Prosecco & peach purée – but don’t let those yummy, fuzzy stone fruits thwart your creativity. Bellinis can be made with any…
