Chicken Noodle Soup. Is there anything better on this planet than a nice warm bowl when the weather turns cold and possibly (or more likely in Vancouver) rainy outside? I’d like to think not. Now, it’s no secret that living in Vancouver has brought out my inner soup lover. My absolute favorite being a nice…
First Do No Harm: My Introduction to the Ketogenic Diet
If there’s one film that has had a profound effect on my adult life, this one has to be in the running. And that is saying something considering I work in the visual effects field for feature films. You would think it would be movies like Star Wars, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Matrix, Lord…
Bone Broth Bouillon Cubes
So this recipe is actually something I’ve been making on a weekly basis for about 4 months now. It’s THE perfect way to take bone broth with you on the go without worrying about it spilling in transit. Since I’ve been living in Vancouver for just over a year now, I tend to walk or ride…
Moving Mountains: A Run For Epilepsy with Jenny LaBaw
A couple years back I wrote a big post for Epilepsy Awareness Month (November) where I talked a little bit about my story with epilepsy as well as some general information what epilepsy is and some of the different types of seizures that are known. One of the biggest inspirations I had to write that…
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…
Lamb Korma
When Suz and I lived in LA, there was an Indian place in our neighborhood that we would eat at a couple times a month. It was easily one of our favorite places and I always looked forward to our dinners there. I’ve been on a huge lamb kick lately and since I’ve been up in…
Crab Cake Deviled Eggs
January is halfway over and Suz and I are on day 12 of our Whole30. We’ve completed one or two in the past but I must say, this time, it’s been much easier. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the new year and maybe it’s that we’ve completed the challenge before. But I honestly think…
TurDucketta
Wow. I can’t believe how fast Thanksgiving came along this year. And that’s saying something since up here in Canada, Thanksgiving happens at the beginning of October. You’d think that I would have had enough warning right? This is a recipe/food project I’ve wanted to tackle since Suz and I saw Michael Symon make it…
Cedar Plank Salmon
Earlier this week marked the official start of the summer season and as you have probably noticed, we’re using the grill an awful lot lately. Whether it was for our Summer Surf n Turf segment on the US Wellness website this month or our more recent recipe for Bison Back Ribs, we’ve been using the…
BBQ Flavored Pork Rinds
I have to admit, one of the things that I miss the most, especially in the summertime when BBQ’s are happening what seems like every weekend is a good salty, crispy, fried snack. Ever since switching to a lower carb paleo approach to deal with my epilepsy, chips are off the menu (not that they…
