***Warning!!! This post contains images of a whole pig being butchered. Some people may find these images offensive as the animal still has it’s face attached.

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…
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
A restaurant that I attend on a regular basis sometimes serves a whipped avocado topping for their amazing burgers. The texture is just so light and creamy much like a mousse so I figured, why not add some cacao powder and some other goodies to a whipped avocado and try to make a great mousse…
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…
Homemade Almond Milk
When I first started my paleo journey 3 years ago (wow, time flies.), one of the hardest things for me to eliminate was dairy, specifically milk. I had spent the majority of my life drinking at least 1 glass of milk per day so when the ‘No grains, dairy or legumes’ rule came out, I…
Pan Roasted Duck Legs with Black Cherry Sauce
Duck has to be one of my favorite birds to eat and cook. It doesn’t hurt that one of the side effects of cooking duck is an extra cache of delicious duck fat that can be used for a great many things in the kitchen. It is, after all referred to by many a cook…
Sweet Dijon Chicken
For the past month or so, I’ve been cooking almost exclusively with my new SousVide machine. Mostly, that’s due to the fact that I was participating in a Paleo Recipe Showdown utilizing the SousVide and Tx Bar Organics beef. While I have loved learning the method of SousVide, after a month, I’m a little tired of…
Fast Paleo: Top 100 recipes of 2012
A couple months or so ago, I was contacted by Ute and James, the guys from the amazing paleo recipe sharing site: fastpaleo.com. They told me about an ebook they had been working on that contained the top 100 recipes of 2012 and they had selected 3 of mine! The recipes in question are: Ketogenic…
Sous Vide Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
As many of you know, I’ve been selected as one of 12 paleo bloggers to compete in the Paleo Sous Vide Supreme Showdown featuring beef from Tx Bar Organics. I was supplied with a Sous Vide Supreme and a box of Tx Bar Organics beef earlier this month and was let loose in the kitchen, coming…
Pheasant Pâté
Over the holidays, while I was home in Colorado, the men in my family decided to go on a pheasant hunt. Sort of like a family male bonding day trip. Overall, the trip was a success. We managed to get 27 birds in total which yielded the perfect amount of livers for a nice Christmas…
