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…
Turmeric and Herb Pulled Beef
It’s been cold the last few weeks in LA and even going into last month some as well. That means that my crock pot has been on the receiving end of almost a non stop workout for that time. Whether I’m making some bone broth, rendering more lard for cooking or just using it to…
Peach BBQ Chicken Legs
Spring is around the corner, and with that comes warmer weather, which usually means backyard BBQ’s with family and friends. One of the big BBQ dishes in my household (other than ribs and brisket of course) is definitely the BBQ chicken. Growing up, we would have chicken breasts, thrown on the grill and covered with…
Macadamia Coconut Cream Candy
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I drove the 90 minutes south to visit our friend George for some good times and of course ridiculous food. While we were there helping him make his pumpkin blueberry blondies, George introduced us to what is now the greatest substances ever: Coconut Cream Concentrate. I’ve been experimenting with…
Paleo Egg Nog
It’s officially the holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Every year when egg nog hits the shelves in stores I find that I just can’t help myself and must indulge. I’ve had a lifelong obsession with this magical holiday concoction. There’s just something about that sweet, creamy beverage that really makes…
Pan Roasted Lamb Steak Over Cauliflower Mash
I’ve been on a bit of a lamb kick as of late. It all kind of started when I did the home cured lamb belly experiment. That turned out so well that I thought to try more to cook with lamb a little more often (usually my red meat source is beef). I’ve also expressed…
Oven Roasted Tender Medallions with Rosemary Horseradish Mayo
I love tenderloin…who doesn’t right? The problem is, it costs a fortune. Recently, I came across a much less expensive alternative though. The Teres Major roast. The teres major is known by a few names: beef shoulder petite tender, beef shoulder tender petite roast, tender medallions and bistro filet. It is one of the most tender cuts on…
Pan Roasted Swordfish Steaks
There was a sale for wild, line caught swordfish steaks the other day so we decided to get a couple to try it out. I’ve always been a fan of pan roasting and since swordfish steaks are particularly thick and not a very delicate fish, I thought this would be a great opportunity to…
