It’s no secret that I’m a fan of food projects and recipes that utilize the slow cooked method. Whether it’s in the oven while making fall off the bone tender meat dishes, on the smoker or even in the slow cooker, there’s just something that is magical to me about cooking through the day. I’ve…
Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup. Is there anything better on this planet than a nice warm bowl when the weather turns cold and possibly (or more likely in Vancouver) rainy outside? I’d like to think not. Now, it’s no secret that living in Vancouver has brought out my inner soup lover. My absolute favorite being a nice…
Bone Broth Bouillon Cubes
So this recipe is actually something I’ve been making on a weekly basis for about 4 months now. It’s THE perfect way to take bone broth with you on the go without worrying about it spilling in transit. Since I’ve been living in Vancouver for just over a year now, I tend to walk or ride…
Traditional Beef Pho
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…
Maple Mustard and Cider Braised Pork Belly
It’s officially the week of Paleo f(x) and Suzanne and I couldn’t be more excited and nervous at the same time. We’re doing a cooking demo for a modified version of our Paleo Eggs Benedict with a totally FOOLPROOF hollandaise sauce. I’m also on a panel for the Journey of Transformation where I’ll be talking about…
Turmeric and Herb Pulled Beef
It’s been cold the last few weeks in LA and even going into last month some as well. That means that my crock pot has been on the receiving end of almost a non stop workout for that time. Whether I’m making some bone broth, rendering more lard for cooking or just using it to…
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…
Crock Pot Carne Asada
So I know lately, given the season, I’ve been focusing on lots of desserts and holiday fare. So with this recipe, I wanted to get away from that briefly, hey Thanksgiving might be over but Christmas is coming, and I have a few recipes coming down the pipe for that! But for now, I must…
How to Render Lard
Earlier this month, I was lucky enough to attend Farm Day at Cook Pigs Ranch in Julian, CA for a tour of their farm as well as how they raise their pigs. I must say, they do things RIGHT at Cook Pigs. Their pigs live better lives than a lot of humans that I know….
Braised Lamb Shanks with Goat Cheese and Pickled Red Onions
This is something that I’ve been wanting to make for awhile. Initially, I wanted to use an entire bone in leg of lamb but a few weeks ago, the circuit that my freezer was connected to decided to short out while I was in Pittsburgh for the Paleo Royal Wedding of The Food Lovers’ Primal…
