This has to be one of my all time, favorite breakfast dishes. So on Easter Sunday, I decided to make it for me and my girlfriend. Earlier, I wrote a poached eggs post (I finally figured out how to do it properly) so I knew this would be a great time to give a paleo…
Braised Short Ribs
Since we won that Le Crueset French Oven in Robb Wolf’s holiday recipe contest earlier this year, I’ve been really getting into braising things, especially in the last month or so. I’ve made the Southern Style Braised Greens on average of once a week easily (doesn’t hurt that there’s plenty of bacon in there). Today…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly one of the most misunderstood veggies out there. My dad shares the generalized opinion that they are the most foul tasting vegetable on the planet. His mom wasn’t the greatest cook so I’m told, so a lot of his food was either bland, or came from a can. However, today…
Smoked Paprika Oven Roasted Salmon
This is just a different way to look at salmon really. I was getting tired of eating it either grilled on a cedar plank or poached in the salmon chowder recipe from Everyday Paleo. Although I love both recipes, I wanted to think a little outside the box and apply my long standing obsession of…
Perfect Poached Eggs
I’ve always been a fan of eggs. I was always able to make the different styles: scrambled, fried, boiled, but for some reason, I could never figure out how to poach and egg without the whites turning into squid tentacles as soon as it hit the water. I knew that vinegar is somehow a factor,…
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…
Duck Fat Yucca Fries
Ever since I heard yucca fries brought up during one of Robb Wolf’s podcasts as an alternative to sweet potatoes, I’ve been curious to try them. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sweet fries, but after eating paleo for just about two years, it’s about time that I experiment with an alternative, you…
Neurological Benefits of Coconut Oil
A friend of mine posted this video on facebook a few days back. It talks about the positive effect coconut oil has on Alzheimer’s. I was immediately intrigued since my symptoms of epilepsy are, as I understand it, similar to dementia or certain aspects of Alzheimer’s. At the very least, both are neurological. So I…
Bacon Wrapped Chili Dogs
This past weekend Suzanne was out so I was left to fend for myself for dinner. I had just received a smoker box for my grill a few weeks prior as a gift and I wanted to try it out. I took a handful of applewood chips and soaked them in water to get them…
