This is actually something that I’ve been playing with for months now. I first tried it at my parents house in Colorado for new years dinner. They had just built a fire pit in their new back yard and I thought what better way to not only enjoy a fire in the frigid temperatures, but…
Review: 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking | Italian Wedding Soup
Well, they’ve done it again. Two of the hardest working people I know have released yet ANOTHER book. My good friends, Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate have been working hard on an expansion of their wildly popular ebook 30 Day Intro to Paleo called The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. Let…
Fried Catfish with Spicy Slaw and Sweet Potato Fries
This past week, Suzanne and I were able to get out of the hectic rat race that is Los Angeles for a nice quiet vacation at Big Bear Lake. It was a much needed trip filled with plenty of sunshine, fresh air, cooking outdoors and even catching up on some ever important sleep. A week…
Mu Shu Pork
A few weeks ago my friends Stacy and Matt from Paleo Parents contacted me (and several other paleo bloggers) to try and paleo-ify some meals from the Chinese chain, PF Chang’s. Sort of like a virtual dinner party of sorts. Since I already have a Beef and Broccoli post from the Sous Vide Showdown, I…
Homemade Hoisin Sauce
One of my favorite Asian appetizers is chicken satay. I just love the salty, sweet and spicy peanut based dipping sauce that it comes with. I even used to make a chicken stir fry dish with the same sauce. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make it until now. Last week I was approached by…
Homemade Chorizo
I love chorizo. It’s definitely one of my favorite types of sausage. I dare say, it’s just almost as versatile as bacon when creating meals. There’s just something about it that I can’t get enough of. This dates back to my pre paleo days as well. Back then, I just bought whatever was in the…
Review: Fermented | Kefir
Back in late March, I met my now good friend, Jill Ciciarelli in Austin, TX at Paleo FX. She and her husband, know simply as Dude stayed in the same house as me and Suzanne, along with Bill and Hayley from The Food Lovers’ Primal Palate and Diane from Balanced Bites. We all quickly became…
Strawberry Bellinis
With the weather warming up, soon we’ll be attending barbecue’s, outdoor parties and the occasional beach bash. One of my favorite festive beverages has to be the Bellini. Traditional Bellinis are made with Prosecco & peach purée – but don’t let those yummy, fuzzy stone fruits thwart your creativity. Bellinis can be made with any…
Sirloin Steak and Eggs
It seems like everyone’s go-to breakfast in the paleo world is bacon and eggs with some veggies in there (and honestly, who can blame that breakfast?). I know that’s been mine for almost 3 years now. But as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life, so I’ve been tinkering with another popular breakfast…
Grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
I know I’ve posted a lot of recipes recently that have to do with the grill but it’s nice and sunny weather here in Los Angeles and we’re half way through April so the season is upon us. I know that it’s not nice everywhere (my hometown in Colorado just got 7 inches of snow…
