The other day my girlfriend and I were taking a meat inventory of our freezer and found 4 wild caught lobster tails from the unexpected meat stockpile sale a few months ago. I had completely forgotten about them so we pulled them out to cook up. I had heard through a friend of mine that…
Farmers Market Spring Veggie Medley with Wild Shrimp
Now that spring is officially here and more veggies are in season, I decided to make a veggie medley or succotash from the goodies I can pick up in my local farmers market in Mar Vista. I have been attending this particular farmers market for almost two years. It’s easily my favorite one in all…
Paleo Mayo
I’ve always been a fan of mayo. It was one of my favorite condiments for sandwiches, meat, and even dipping veggies in. Now that I’m eating a ketogenic paleo diet for epilepsy, I found that utilizing paleo mayo is a great way to keep my fat content up. It’s also infinitely customizable. Add a couple…
Cold Thermogenesis: One Month Into the Cold
So this week brings about the close to the 4 weeks since Paleo FX. Over the last 4 weeks, I’ve been implementing some protocols that I learned while in Austin. Most notably: Jack Kruse’s Cold Thermogenesis and Leptin Reset Protocol, Bulletproof Coffee, turning the lights out as soon as possible once the sun sets (the…
Paleo Benedict
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…
Paleo f(x) 2012 – Part 2
Like I mentioned in my earlier post about Paleo f(x) found here, the main reason I made the trek down to Austin was to speak with as many experts, doctors, nutritionists, etc as I could in order to try and treat my epilepsy naturally and hopefully one day, come off my meds completely. I wasn’t…
Paleo f(x) 2012 – Part 1
Last weekend, I had the great opportunity to attend Paleo FX in Austin, TX. Similar to the Ancestral Health Symposium, held in August, Paleo FX was full of who’s who in the paleo world, from the all knowing and all powerful, Robb Wolf to Mark Sisson to Chris Kresser to Dr Jack Kruse to James…
Ketogenic Pizza
Pizza. One of the most delicious foods known to man. Is there any food out there that could be less ketogenic? One of my personal Achilles’ Heel foods. Before I went paleo, I can safely say that I would average eating pizza about 3 times a week. So, when I did make the switch, it…
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…
