It’s no secret that for the last 10 months or so I’ve been living up in Vancouver, BC for visual effects work. It really is a beautiful place right on the foothills of the mountains to the North and at the same time right on the ocean to the West. Alton Brown considers Vancouver to…
Paleo f(x) 2015 | Breakfast Hash
Paleo f(x) is our favorite event of the year. It’s a time when the community gets together to support the implementation of paleo as a lifestyle and not just as a diet. Sean has been to all 4 years of Paleo f(x), and me 3 of them. Each year it has grown, and it’s been…
Review: My Paleo Patisserie | Pistachio Ice Cream with Waffle Cones
When transitioning to a grain-free lifestyle, finding replacements for certain foods can be tough. Gluten makes pizza crust chewy, breads fluffy and grain-free flours aren’t the easiest to just swap out. Learning to make grain-free treats takes time and patience as your raw ingredients react differently than traditional grain flours. I’ve always said baking is…
Reuben Sandwiches with Irish Soda Bread
I love Reuben sandwiches. There’s just something about thinly sliced corned beef, thousand island dressing, and sauerkraut. It really is one of those perfect sandwiches. With St Paddy’s Day coming up around the corner I figured I would try my hand at making a paleo version. As an extra challenge, I decided to make my…
Cajun Shrimp Salad
Last month, Suz and I completed our first Whole 30 Challenge in a couple of years. She was in Alabama and I was here in Vancouver, BC. It went so well, that we’re actually starting another one for the month of March. This recipe is perfect for anytime but especially for Whole 30 or 21DSD…
Review: Every Last Crumb | Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
Last Fall, life was a bit crazy. Sean had already been in Vancouver since July and had been extended on his job into 2015. Long story short, with that news we decided to move out of LA, and figure out our next plans – which for now means I moved to Alabama to be with…
Eggnog Gummies
Holy moly, Christmas is already next week! It’s been such a busy holiday season for Suz and me, with the two roadtrips and the big move out of Los Angeles (me up to Vancouver and Suz home to Alabama for a bit), that we haven’t had a chance to get many recipes out lately. During…
Thanksgiving Meatloaf Muffins with Cranberry Ketchup & Cauliflower Mash
A few weeks ago, I made some mini-meatloaf muffins “frosted” with mashed potatoes for my weekly girls night (in which we watch Dancing with the Stars – don’t hate. Team Alfonso btw). Needless to say, they were a huge hit! I had used dark turkey meat but made it more of a traditional Italian meatloaf….
Review ~ Paleo By Season | Chocolate Pumpkin Pie
We first met Pete & Sarah Servold at a Balanced Bites seminar in our old gym back in early 2013. Diane had brought them up to cater the event, and Sean and I immediately hit it off with the Pete’s Paleo team. One bite of the bacon, and you’re in love. Pete’s background as a…
Grilled Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin
A few months back, we were introduced to the monocled master condiment, Sir Kensingtons by our friend Juli of PaleOMG. She had been posting about the mayo for a little while and just couldn’t stop raving about it. The fact that it is all clean ingredients is a huge win, but it also tastes absolutely…
