Epilepsy Awareness Month is just over halfway through and I’ve wanted to write this post for awhile. I first read Treating Epilepsy Naturally by Patricia A. Murphy almost 12 years ago believe it or not when I was researching epilepsy for a documentary I made while at Brooks Institute of Photography. Looking back now, I…
Breakfast Sausage
It’s no secret that I’m a lover of all things bacon. It’s a rarity if I don’t have at least a slice in any given day. Over the last few months it’s even gotten to a point where I make all my own now. As much as I don’t want to admit it, sometimes I’m…
Herb Roasted Turkey and Gravy with Citrus Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it brings one of the most iconic dishes in America: The Roasted Turkey. We’ve all experienced some amazingly succulent and tasty birds in our Thanksgiving pasts, but I think it’s safe to say we’ve also experienced the opposite. A turkey so dry and bland that it almost…
Colorado Visit: 100 Year Flood and Great News from the Neurologist
About a month and a half ago I went back home to Colorado to do two things: My annual elk bowhunt with my Dad deep in the Rocky Moutains Visit my neurologist to discuss the possibility of reducing my medication either partially or even completely. Last year my dad and I went up into the…
Cinnamon Krunch Ice Cream
When I first switched to a paleo way of eating, one of the food items that was the hardest to give up for me was ice cream. As a former fat kid, it wasn’t all that unusual for me to get a pint of cinnamon bun ice cream from the store and destroy it all…
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….
Avocado Goat Cheese Stuffed Burgers with Sriracha Dipping Sauce
A few weeks ago I was experimenting with avocados as a topping for some burgers. I had just grown tired of using sliced avocado on my burgers and remembered the success I had (texture wise anyway) using whipped avocado for a mousse. If it could work there, why not as a topping for some burgers?…

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…
Pumpkin Bacon Soup
A couple weeks ago while I was in Colorado for my annual elk hunt (obviously that didn’t work out due to the 100 year flood), pumpkins first came into season. I decided since it was raining and perfect Fall type weather, it would be perfect to try out a new soup idea I had been…
